Avant Garde Productions is celebrating a victory with their clients, the California and Nevada Credit Union Leagues, over their recent Blockbuster award win for Best Campaign (<$10,000 budget) for the 2007 Big Valley Educational Conference Campaign. Avant Garde was happy to partner with the League on this project. The League provided an excellent concept from which Avant Garde based its art direction and layout. The resulting campaign focused on an eco-conscience theme that was carried through in its choice of recycled paper and "Green" print production techniques.

This First Place Blockbuster Award was given at the recent American Association of Credit Union League (AACUL) 2008 PR/Communications Conference in Washington, D.C. The Pro/Blockbuster Awards, presented by AACUL, are awarded for excellence in public relations, marketing, and advertising by state credit union leagues and league service corporations.

Avant Garde Productions Principal Paul J. Bean commented, "We're thrilled to have been a part of this project. Our partnership with the League has been a very rewarding one and we're happy our design strategy and implementation in the Big Valley Educational Campaign was honored. From our experience, Big Valley is an excellent Conference and one which deserves the industry's attention."

This year's conference turned out to be a stellar event for Avant Garde Productions and the League. In addition to the Best Campaign Blockbuster Award, the League, supported by Avant Garde, also brought home a First Place Blockbuster Award for Most Improved Publication: California and Nevada Credit Union Leagues, Credit Union Digest.
