Mac Mannes In the News

Our friends at Destination DC came up with an beautiful bag design, and Mac Mannes brought it to life. This eco-friendly tote helps celebrate the 100th Anniversary of Cherry Blossoms in our Nation’s Capital. Each year, the National Cherry Blossom Festival celebrates spring in Washington, DC, the gift of the cherry blossom trees, and the enduring friendship between the people of the United States and Japan. The totes will be given out to tourists around the world, and will be sold at retail. Get your bag here at the new Destination DC Online Store.

Counselor Magazine, the voice of the promotions industry, just announced its annual list of the nation’s best places to work for 2011 – and Mac Mannes has made the grade for the second straight year. The honor recognizes the company’s success in creating a positive work environment that attracts and retains employees through a combination of employee satisfaction, working conditions and company culture.

President & CEO Chris Huebner said, “We have a tremendous culture. The combination of wonderful employees, customers and suppliers, make Mac Mannes a special place. We live by the motto ‘bigger isn’t better, better is better.’ What makes us better is our aspiration to create innovative promotions that elevate our clients’ brand."

Results are based on employee surveys, which were conducted by Quantum Workplace.

Once again, Mac Mannes is proud to provide the optical crystal awards for the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety’s TOP SAFETY PICK. IIHS crash tests new cars and gives those earning the best ratings its TOP SAFETY PICK award. The award points consumers to the vehicles that will do the best job of protecting their families in front, side, rollover and rear impact crashes. Awards for each model that qualifies are presented to the auto manufacturers who frequently use the TOP SAFETY PICK designation in their online, print and television advertisements. Consumers can find crash test ratings for hundreds of popular vehicles tested by the Institute at www.iihs.org.

We love it when we see actual physical awards featured in car manufacturer’s ads.
