Columbia, CT – On Target Marketing & Communications, LLC, based in Columbia, CT, captured 1st place nationally for BEST FEATURE ARTICLE in the prestigious Society for Marketing Professional Services 2013 Marketing Communications Awards.
The feature article, Transforming Brownfields into Healthfields, was ghost-written by Theresa M. Casey, FSMPS, CPSM, On Target’s founding principal, for her client Miles Ballogg of Florida-based Cardno TBE.
