April 2013 | Edition 14
Greetings!
April is an exciting time in the C.Fox office, especially this year. With the first quarter behind us, we are well into the development and execution of many client campaigns and initiatives and we're kicking off some exciting new ones, too. We've even started a few new things right here at C.Fox including the launch of our new website. It features new design, navigation, content and ways to interact with us. I invite you to take a look and tell us what you think.
April also signals our annual announcement of the
it Award winner at C.Fox. We've had the great pleasure to review and interview many applicants this year from across the country. In the end, the choice was clear and a local one: the Washington Animal Rescue League. We're excited to get to work supporting this amazing organization and the work they do on behalf of animals throughout the region. So as we roll into spring, we're using the season as a reminder to always be open to new ideas, fresh thinking, and a better way of doing things. We hope you will too!

C.Fox News and Notes:
And the Winner Is...
After reviewing our most diverse applicant pool to date, we are thrilled to announce that the Washington Animal Rescue League is this year's inspired thought (it) Award winner and will receive $20,000 in pro bono public relations support.
The Washington Animal Rescue League is equally excited about the opportunity to work with C.Fox. "We are absolutely thrilled to be selected as this year's recipient of the C. Fox Communications It Award," said Bob Ramin, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Washington Animal Rescue League. "We have seen the tremendous work C.Fox Communications has done for previous winners of the it Award, and as we enter an exciting era in the evolution of the Washington Animal Rescue League - including our upcoming Centennial anniversary - the timing is perfect. We can't wait to get started!"
