Houston—October 18, 2006—At the 2006 BMA Lantern Awards, Origin took home two Lanterns, three Awards of Excellence and the coveted Rookie of the Year—a first for the 10+ year old shop.

Advertising efforts awarded with Lanterns include “Take IT to the Next Level,” a print campaign for Time Warner Houston and “Sizes Do Matter” a print ad for Houston’s Hydril Company. The BMA also honored “Bend the Rules,” a print ad for Hydril and annual reports created for CenterPoint Energy and ExpressJet Holdings.

Sponsored by the Houston chapter of the Business Marketing Association (BMA), the Lantern Awards honor excellence in business-to-business communications, including shareholder communications, for the previous year.

Says Jim Mousner, Origin Founder, “The biggest reward is creating great work in partnership with our clients. And as far as “Rookie of the Year” goes? Well, the people in our shop decided that as long as we bring the goods, appearing youthful can only be a compliment.”
