Contest Brief

We are looking for a creative approach to advertise our business through print media (newspapers, magazines). We've posted this contest to find the best creative approach. Top Ten Percent is in the mobile marketing industry. We are kind of like Angies List and Groupon put together into one company except our Business Members listed have been consumer nominated and selected as being of the top 10% of their respective industry. Everything you need to know about out company can be found at our websites www.toptenpercent.com and www.toptenpercentfranchise.com. The toptenpercent.com website is our main company site. This contest is for gaining consumer members and business members. We are not looking for an advertisement to sell franchises so please ensure you are creating the right message. We provided the toptenpercentfranchise.com website only to give you the ability to do more research.

There is also a video on You Tube that may help: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HtPsdy8keVQ

The winner of the contest would be the submission that best:

1. Will be submitted by the person that did the most research about our company and who understands our model the best.
2. Who describes our concept simply, yet effectively.
3. That contains an attention grabbing heading.
4. That creates "action" from the consumer to go to our website to register for a free lifetime charter membership
5. That is creative, fresh and different then anything that you may see that we've done before.
6. Who submits an entire completed advertisement with complete design and content including the headline, the copy, logo, other copy image(s) and our website www.TopTenPercent.com.

We want you to use your own ideas and want to hear how you would best describe our concept. The size of the advertisement can be up to 5 x 8.5 inches but feel free to design it any size that you wish so long as it is no larger then this. Submit it in pdf, jpg, or psd file format and it needs to be editable by us. Feel free to submit as many advertisements with as many ideas as you wish. There will be one guaranteed winner and we may continue working with the winner for additional projects in the future. The advertisement will always include our website www.TopTenPercent.com and you can include a phone number as well if you like (614) 515-5868.

We've attached different versions of our logo that you can select from as well as some other graphics. Feel free to use any of these graphics or if you have other ideas we welcome submissions that have their own images (As long as at least one TTP Logo is in the advertisement and any image you use you have the rights to allow us to use. Do not use copyrighted images or mention other trademarks owned by other companies.)

There will be one guaranteed winner, submit as many original and different advertisements as you choose to give yourself more chances to win. We may continue working with the winner with additional projects in the future.

      I still see only the original jpg and gif files - no ai, eps or psd. Not sure why they are not showing up.

    I have uploaded all four logo variations in both eps and psd format which should give you the ability to have transparent backgrounds. Thanks!

      I have refreshed and still don't see an eps file available, but if the design is acceptable, I am sure the file needed can be provided for output. [smile]

    There seems to be an issue with that first file (Logo_horizontal_colour_clear.jpg). I am unsure if it is a problem with a jpg that has transparency (jpgs don't do transparency - gifs and pngs do, and even tifs but with a lot of file size increase) or what, but it keeps downloading broken. Would love to have the logo with a transparent background...
