Tampa, FL (June 17, 2015) Marketing Direction President & CEO Christy Vogel was
appointed as a judge for the 30th annual Florida Home Builders Sales & Marketing Council’s 2015 EXCEL Awards. The Excel Awards honors those builders, commercial contractors, craftsmen, Realtors®, onsite salespeople, public relations professionals, associates/suppliers,
media and advertising professionals who make major contributions to the residential homebuilding and commercial construction industry through superior, innovative and creative sales and marketing. Excel Award recipients will be recognized at the Excel Awards Luncheon through a multimedia presentation.
“Judging the Excel Awards is a great learning opportunity to be able to see what other talented
agencies in Florida are doing for the homebuilding industry. Sometimes as marketers, we get so
busy with the daytoday activities that we forget to make time to see what other agencies are
doing,” said Vogel.
The Excel Awards program is affiliated with the Florida Home Builders Association (FHBA) and
the Southeast Building Conference (SEBC), one of two regional trade shows recognized by the
National Association of Home Builders (NAHB). The 2015 Excel Awards will be presented
during the 2015 SEBC on July 17, 2015 at the Rosen Centre Hotel in Orlando. Learn more at
