We swept all four categories last night at the Florida Public Transportation Association marketing awards ceremony. There were some terrific entries and the fact that our win was so decisive is a real tribute to your efforts. Thank you for making us look so good.
I would like to thank Bitner Goodman for the outstanding job you did for the Community and Economic Development Council. After consulting with you and explaining our needs and concerns regarding merging two non-profit business associations your agency provided highly professional advice and assistance which enabled us to move forward in the best possible manner.
Bitner Goodman’s creativity with the artwork for the Save the Date and Invitations helped create the “buzz” for the event and helped attract 450 plus VIPs, government officials and art patrons to the evening. You helped me more than you probably know!
