Lose Your Baggage in The Florida Keys

By Dorn Martell

It really stinks to lose your luggage, but who doesn’t have some baggage they’d like to get rid of? That’s the theme of our new accommodations spot for The Florida Keys and Key West. The shoot covered the entire destination of Monroe County and included every type of accommodation imaginable. Whether you want to live large in a grand resort or camp out by the ocean, The Keys have something for everyone. But what you’ll find throughout The Keys is what you need most… a place to chill out and let the real world run itself for awhile.

Tinsley is honored by the Key West Business Guild

By Dorn Martell

Tinsley Advertising was honored Wednesday at the Key West Business Guild luncheon with a beautiful statuette. I was lucky to attend and it was great to see so many friends and to feel the excitement as Key West Pride 2012 kicks off. We’ve been so fortunate to have The Monroe County Tourist Development Council (“The Florida Keys & Key West”) and the LGBT community as clients for so many years and have won more awards for this target than any other in the agency’s history.

A heartfelt thanks goes out to Harold Wheeler, Monroe County TDC Director; George Fernandez, Monroe County TDC; Jon Allen, Key West District Advisory Chairman; Rebecca Tomlinson, Executive Director of the Key West Business Guild; Steve Smith, Outreach Director of the Key West Business Guild; Darren Paugh, President of the Key West Business Guild and all the members of both the Key West Business Guild & the Key West District Advisory Committee.

We love working for you all and look forward to creating great marketing for Key West for years to come.

Tinsley Wins At Regional Addy Awards

By Dorn Martell

Tinsley and The Monroe County Tourist Development Council (The Florida Keys & Key West) were honored to receive FOUR Addy awards at the District Four, American Advertising Federation Awards. This is in addition to the 30 Addys and 14 Golds we received at the Miami Addys including Best of Show for Television. Our regional GOLD ADDY winners are as follows: “Out before it was in” (TV for Key West), “Men Overboard” (print ad), and “Big eyes, full lips drives men crazy. Angelina is that you?” (print ad). We also won a Silver Addy for “A whole new kind of cruising.” (print ad).

This has been a great year for us at the award shows, especially The Education Advertising Awards, The Miami Addys and The District Four Addys. We really appreciate the collaboration between Tinsley and all our clients that has allowed us to produce award-winning advertising over multiple platforms.
