Write Click Takes Home the ICE

KCFX ICE Awards

Independent creative professionals don’t have a lot of opportunity to showcase their work unless competing with large advertising firms in nationally organized awards competitions. In Kansas City, Independent and small creative shops have the Kansas City Freelance Exchange, a not-for-profit group whose main goal is to advance the visibility of and opportunity for the more than 200 career freelancers and independent creative professionals within the advertising and marketing community.

Each year the group hosts a competition that showcases and honors the work done by Kansas City’s most talented graphic designers, copywriters, photographers and web developers. This year marked the changeover from the past Freebe Awards to the newly branded ICE Awards. Write Click, copywriting and new media company, was awarded four ICE awards including Best of Show.

“It’s easy to overlook the talent of Kansas City’s solo advertising and marketing professionals because our work isn’t as high profile as the work that comes out of bigger agencies, says Thomason, Owner of Write Click. “I feel so honored to be the winner of these prestigious awards in such a competitive industry, and I hope to continue doing great work for great clients in the coming year.”

Write Click received a Silver ICE Award in the Direct Mail category for a sales/marketing letter written for ListMart of Parkville, Mo., a Silver ICE Award in the category of Interactive for a radio spot written for Nill Bros. Sports of Kansas City, Kan., a Gold ICE Award in the Web category for web copy written for 1-800-Got-Mulch of Kansas City, Mo., and a Best of Show ICE Award for the 1-800-Got-Mulch web copy.

The awards banquet was held on Wednesday, December 9, 2009 at the David Morris photography studio and was emceed by NASCAR racecar driver, Jennifer Jo Cobb.
