BERLIN PRODUCTIONS WINS FIVE ADVERTISING AWARDS
Company takes home two golds and three silvers in annual competition

WHITE PLAINS, NY – June 18, 2004 – Berlin Productions, Inc. (BP) announced today that, for the second year in a row, it has received five awards from the Advertising Club of Westchester (ACW). During the ACW’s “Big W” awards competition gala last week, the company received two gold awards and three silver awards.

The Big W awards are presented for creative and technical achievement among advertising agencies, marketing and PR agencies, designers, copywriters, photographers, illustrators and others who develop advertising for organizations and businesses in the tri-state region of New York, Connecticut and New Jersey.

In the category of Non-Broadcast Video, BP grabbed the gold for a video that promotes the eRAM, or Enterprise Risk Assessment Manager, program for the business-information giant D&B (formerly known as Dun & Bradstreet).

BP’s second gold, in the Commercial or Editorial Illustration category, was awarded for a series of Pepsi cans illustrated in photo-realistic 3D for Pepsi Design Group.

Two of BP’s three silver awards are in the category Interactive Media—Multimedia. The first was given to BP for its development of the Starbucks Interactive Unit (SIU), an interactive, shelf-mounted kiosk that educates grocery shoppers about Starbucks coffees available in supermarkets.

The second silver in this category is for the Murray Benjamin Electronic Library Kiosk at The Neuberger Museum in Purchase, New York. BP developed this kiosk to let museum visitors explore information about the museum’s permanent collection and rotating exhibits by simply touching a screen. The user interface incorporates styles similar to those of the modern artists whose works are featured at the museum.

In the category of Interactive Media—Web Site (Consumer), BP won its third silver award. The Web site for the Hi-Light Decorating (www.hilightdecorating.com), a home-lighting retailer in Yonkers, New York, was developed using Flash.

“It’s always an honor to have your company’s work recognized,” said BP founder Rick Berlin, “but it’s even more of an honor when you’ve competed against tremendously talented companies like those in our area.”

Screen shots and images of BP’s winning projects are available upon request. For more information about the ACW, visit www.acw.org.
