MILWAUKEE—(April. 29, 2014) — Nelson Schmidt Inc., a leading full-service marketing communications firm, took home multiple accolades in the same evening at Business Marketing Association (BMA) regional award competitions in Milwaukee and New York City. Milwaukee BMA’s Bell Awards and New York’s Global ACE Awards recognized campaigns the agency produced for category-leading clients Alliance Laundry Systems (Speed Queen and UniMac brands), Polaris Industries and the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation.

“Engaging on the local, regional and national levels with BMA is an integral part of our agency growth strategy,” Nelson Schmidt Chief Marketing Officer Chris Vitrano said. “As President of the Milwaukee Chapter, I was honored to serve as emcee of the BMA Bell Awards, while knowing that on the same evening my NS colleagues were attending the New York chapter’s Global ACE Awards gala. We enjoy entering our work in local and national BMA awards programs, as it increases our brand awareness and, equally important, demonstrates our support for our professional community that BMA represents.”

The Nelson Schmidt team brought home two Bell Awards in the Total B2B Campaigns over $500,000 and Branding or Rebranding categories, and three Excellence Awards for Public Relations, New Product Launch Campaign and Website categories.
