The Barnes Agency, a West Virginia-based full service advertising, marketing and public relations firm, has recently been recognized by the West Virginia Press Association as winner of both first and second place in the Best Agency category for ads designed in 2011 and placed in both The Times Record and Roane County Reporter on behalf of Roane General Hospital.
“We are very pleased to have received this recognition for our graphic design work,” stated Jeffrey M. Barnes, President and CEO of Barnes Agency. “We are best known for our award winning film and video production, so to receive recognition in print design is very pleasing and shows that we are moving in the right direction with the comprehensive marketing services we provide.”
Both awards were in the Division 3 newspaper category. First place reflected an ad promoting Roane General Hospital’s urgent care services, while the second place ad communicated a New Year’s holiday message on behalf of the hospital.
“I would like to congratulate Barnes Agency for winning yet again in the Best Agency category in this year’s West Virginia Press Association statewide advertising awards,” stated Roane General Hospital CEO, Douglas E. Bentz. “Roane General has been fortunate to receive first class marketing from Barnes Agency, and we could not ask for a better partnership to promote the services that our hospital offers.”
Barnes Agency was notified of the awards by Spencer Newspapers, the company who publishes the newspapers in which the ads were placed. Spencer Newspapers’s Publisher, David J. Hedges commented, “Barnes Agency consistently produces high quality advertising products for their clients, and it shows with award winning results each and every year. We are pleased to help them get Roane General’s message out to the community and look forward to working with them in the future.”
