Miami, FL � September 2016 / Newsmaker Alert / Home to the world�s largest tourism industry, Florida is synonymous with beaches, international glamour, natural attractions and more. On September 8, the Florida Governor�s Conference on Tourism recognized Jacober Creative as an outstanding performer in the highly competitive world of tourism marketing by awarding them two Flagler Awards.

The South Beach-based design studio took two first-place trophies for their work for the Town of Surfside. One Gold �Henry� was awarded for the Surfside Visitor�s Guide, part of the 2015-16 �Simply Surfside� campaign. Jacober won Gold in the Resource/Promotional Material-Consumer category and took �Best in Show� in the under $500,000 budget category. The awards were for their outstanding graphic design, art direction and photography, which positioned Surfside as a destination for families and visitors.

�We�re thrilled to get this kind of recognition in a state like Florida, where tourism is a major industry and we are competing against serious players,� said Paul Jacober, principal of Jacober Creative. �Our bright, playful, upbeat design was both retro and forward-looking, sexy and accessible. It was one of my favorite projects this year, thanks to the hard work of our staff, especially art director Adriana Mazariegos.�

�Jacober Creative is a dream to work with,� said Duncan Tavares, Director of Tourism, Economic Development & Community Services for the Town of Surfside. �The campaign is gorgeous and is like nothing Surfside has ever seen.�
