NORTH BAY, ON – VS Group has been awarded a bronze award by the 2011 Summit International Creative Awards judges for its creative on the design of Earlton RV's website (www.earltonrv.com).

“We are thrilled to have our design and our client honoured internationally. It's a privilege for us to work with clients who value innovative concepts.” said Nicole Graham-Shank R.G.D, Marketing Director at VS Group.

Over the last sixteen years, the competition has established itself as one of the premier arbiters of creative excellence. Using rigorous evaluation criteria and top international judges, this unique competition rewards those firms truly deserving of special recognition. Submissions are evaluated based on the strength of their big idea, the quality of execution and their ability to persuade.  Judging is done by a panel of top advertising professionals who critique entries in 24 major categories using a tough set of standards. 

"There is so much outstanding creative out there that goes largely unrecognized." said Jocelyn Luciano, executive director of the Summit International Awards.  "Our goal is to award those outstanding campaigns that fuel the economy of the world, including small business, political campaigns, and regional products."

"We are extremely pleased with our new website that VS Group has developed. They have a well developed artistic / aesthetic talent for the “look”. Their cutting edge knowledge and early adopter attitude to evolving web techniques (audio, social networks, e-commerce, video, etc…) has been instrumental for us." said Pierre Belanger, Owner Earlton RV. "In our case we wanted a practical, commercial mindset and skill set which focused on measurable merchandising of our products and services, which is evident in our new site design." added Belanger.
