The UPS Store Honors Unsung Heroes of College Basketball

By Editor, March 15th, 2011

They help NCAA basketball teams win. But they don’t play. They work tirelessly. They solve problems with creative solutions. But most of all, they inspire people. They’re the Team Logistics Managers, the student managers for NCAA basketball teams. UPS and The UPS Store help consumers with their Logistics expertise. And we’re helping The UPS Store celebrate these Team Logistics Managers with documentaries featured on the Facebook page for The UPS Store. The documentary with the most “likes” on Facebook will win a $10,000 donation to the general scholarship fund for their school in the name of the winning Logistics Manager. These documentaries began with a national search for the most compelling stories. And once the managers were selected, we shot, produced and directed these short films. We were given access to team’s locker rooms, team practices and got to interview the coaching staff at some of the most storied college basketball programs in the country. The result is a group of stories that are truly inspiring.

Most Effective Magazine Ad Campaigns of 2010

By Editor, February 17th, 2011

The 2010 Vista Awards were revealed this week and we were pleased to find out that two of the ads included in the listing were created right here at Doner.  Our ads for Rain-X and Amazon Kindle were seen by millions and both resulted in an overwhelming number of people taking action.

The Vista Awards are conducted by Affinity Vista, the recognized leader in magazine accountability tracking.  Vista fields online studies to measure every ad in every issue of the biggest consumer magazines, gauging them for ad recall, brand association and actions that readers take as a result.

Congratulations to everyone at Doner whose hard work went into developing these very effective ads!
