We are delighted to announce that the League of American Communications Professionals (LACP) has recognized Hughes Channels with a Gold award in its 2009 Inspire Awards Competition.

Channels ranked among the top 20 of more than 425 entries, including many global blue chip companies from across the business spectrum. Here are just a few of the judges’ comments: “Overall, we find this work to be outstanding;” and “Our belief is this entry has superb variety through the materials … (a) making a truly excellent connection with the primary audience and (b) delivering, in a notably outstanding approach, an applicable and persuasive message.”

The Competition Scorecard awarded Channels a total score of 98 out of 100, with 19 out of 20 points for first impression; and 10 out of 10 points for artwork, readability, message clarity, variety of features, audience focus, perceived relevance, and ease of navigation. “A very nice evolution of Channels… excellent advances in both content and design,” the judges added.

Thank you to our customers, employees, and editorial staff for their contributions in telling the many stories about the benefits of Hughes technologies and services.
