SMM Advertising has won two PromaxBDA Awards for the Suffolk County Fire, Rescue & Emergency Services (FRES) Campaign: Volunteer to be Amazing. • Art Direction & Design, PSA Spot:  Gold PromaxBDA Award • Public Service Announcement Spot:  Bronze PromaxBDA Award The TV spot was part of a “heroic” multimedia campaign developed to help increase the number of volunteer firefighters and EMTs in the County, with the long-range goal of improving emergency services by reducing emergency response times, decreasing fire-related property damage and decreasing fire-related civilian casualties. Enlisting the talents of Nutmeg Post Productions and Bong Dazo (a Marvel Comics illustrator), the campaign challenged men and women to be “amazing” with a :30 TV spot, print, digital, and out-of-home advertising. As a result of the campaign, over 2,300 new recruits have signed up, and the Suffolk’s Bravest Facebook page has shown a 209% increase in “Likes.” Property loss has decreased by 37%, civilian casualties have decreased by 38%, and call response times have decreased by 30 seconds.
