A-Star Sports rewarded at the Franchise Marketing Awards for excellence and best practice

A-Star Sports is proud to have been announced as a finalist in two prestigious categories at the Franchise Marketing Awards 2014 – Best PR Campaign and Best Online Marketing Campaign.

The Franchise Marketing Awards reward marketing excellence and promote good practice in the franchise industry.  They highlight franchises that deliver creative and innovative campaigns and ‘provide the highest standards of support to their franchisees when it comes to advertising and the overall marketing package’.

Sharon Bassett, A-Star Sports marketing and communications director commented: “It’s an amazing achievement to have our campaigns judged by such a high calibre judging panel and for us to be finalists alongside highly respected brands like Subway, Dyno, Mac Tools and Kare Plus.  To be highlighted in national awards that recognise ‘distinction in marketing’ and ‘the highest standards of support to franchisees’ is quite an achievement in only our third year of operation.”
