Lockett Media Wins 2008 International Emerging Media Award

Dec. 31, 2008 - PRLog -- Lockett Media, a social media firm based in Akron, Ohio has won the 2008 Summit Emerging Media Award (Summit EMA) competition. The Summit EMA competition, created to identify the world's communication pioneers, honors winners for their leading edge use of new and emerging web technology. The 2008 competition included approximately 700 entries from numerous countries for which only 12 percent earned recognition. Lockett  Media was honored for their work with Lock 3 Park, the downtown entertainment  venue for the City of Akron.

“When I started  our social media campaign with Lock 3 Park this past summer,” Lockett Media founder, Kevin Lockett said, “I never thought that I would win an international competition.  I have to say this is quite humbling.”

In the summer of 2008 Lockett Media used Web 2.0 tools including a Lock 3 Park blog, a MySpace page, Twitter, YouTube,  Yahoo Video as well as online contests to promote  The City of Akron's summer concert series.

“Our goal was to give Lock 3 Park a stronger online presence”, Lockett adds.“ Being recognized by the Summit International Awards only reaffirms that we were on the right track. I cannot wait to see what's in store for Lockett Media in 2009.”
