Worktank Takes Home 3 Gold MarCom Awards

SEATTLE, December 12th, 2006 – Worktank has been awarded 3 GOLD MarCom Creative Awards for their work on the Microsoft Expansion Group Videos "A Brighter Future" & "A Mother's Dream" and for the See Windows Vista website.

Microsoft's Market Expansion Group launched Windows XP Starter, a computer and software package for lower-income families. Worktank sent a production crew to Argentina, Brazil and Chile to produce eight compelling videos of families and individuals whose lives have been transformed by owning a computer. The new Windows XP Starter package makes it easier to learn and use a PC with tools and tutorials for those less familiar with computers, and runs on entry-level, more affordable hardware. The videos were seen by the press, dignitaries, analysts, government officials and partners in other countries.

The See Windows Vista website continues to sweep up more awards. It has now accumulated 5 awards ranked Gold or higher. The web site, featuring actor Tom Skerritt as video host, provides Windows Vista information to a business audience and profiles 20 companies developing extraordinary applications for the Windows Vista Operating System. The web site incorporates dynamic media, technology and video to entertain and educate viewers on the possibilities enabled by Windows Vista. The site includes Microsoft partner videos incorporated with text, graphics, music and voice over to illustrate the features and advantages of Windows Vista.

"We're ecstatic that our teams' talent is getting the recognition they deserve." Says CEO Melinda Partin. "The variety of all the awards we've won this year reflect the diversity of our team."

The MarCom Creative Awards has grown to arguably the largest of its kind in the world and is an international awards competition that recognizes outstanding achievement by marketing and communication professionals. There were over 5,000 entries from throughout the United States and several foreign countries. The competition is so well respected in the industry that national public relations organizations, local ad clubs, and local business communication chapters are entrants.
