INDY FIRM’S PROPRIETARY FORMULA SNAGS BOSTON CLIENT: Indy’s MillerWhite Adds North America’s Leading Energy Service Company To Growing Roster
November 16, 2005

INDIANAPOLIS – It used to be that the only newsworthy Indiana connection to Boston, Massachusetts was legendary Hoosier, Larry Bird. But a new client has engaged an Indianapolis marketing firm because of its proprietary marketing formula, creating a new relationship between Beantown and The Circle City. While this new Boston-Indiana connection is void of a basketball story, the significance of an Indianapolis firm competing on a national level and being awarded an industry leading, East coast marketing account is the stuff that Indiana-underdog legends can identify with.

MillerWhite Integrated Marketing has been named Firm-of-Record by Ameresco, North America’s largest independent comprehensive energy solutions provider, headquartered in greater Boston, Mass.

The Indianapolis firm is becoming well-known for its proprietary marketing formula, MW Fusion, which is in the final stages of receiving its’ trade mark registration and was identified by Ameresco Marketing Coordinator, Lindsay Heineke, as one of the key elements to finalizing the ESCO’s selection of MillerWhite.

“The thing that really sold me on MillerWhite was the MW Fusion marketing plan. I have never seen a marketing product that can so completely organize, gather and identify all of the necessary marketing tactics of a company and simultaneously organize the implementation of those tactics in an efficient and systematic fashion,” said Heineke.

MillerWhite will provide counsel and tactical implementation of marketing, public relations, advertising and interactive media projects for Ameresco throughout North America.

Recently, brand and corporate culture materials; developed through MillerWhite’s Unlocking The Power of Your Pledge® formula, were adopted internationally by Sony DADC, the world’s largest replicator of DVD’s and compact discs. Sony DADC’s North American and European operations have been united under a common corporate pledge and tagline and have realized increased efficiency.

“In our situation, the changes have cut workload significantly because we agreed to work together rather than separately,” said Sony DADC Marketing Director Shelley Klingerman. “By employing the same culture changes through tagline, pledge and vision, and blending our efforts, we have experienced a decrease in workload, and duplication of efforts,” shared Klingerman.

During the last year, MillerWhite has also implemented both of its proprietary formulas for Indianapolis’ HPS Office Systems. The 65-year old office equipment dealer was careful in its selection of a marketing partner to redevelop its brand and corporate culture. HPS Office Systems has also engaged MillerWhite’s staff to implement its integrated marketing plan.

“I’m proud to be an Indiana firm, getting recognized and rewarded nationally for our innovations in marketing. Both Ameresco and HPS Office Systems were very careful in selecting a firm to work with. They realized they needed more than just an implementing agency,” explained Partner, Bill White. “After three reviews HPS chose MillerWhite, eliminating seven other firms from as far west as California. With Ameresco, we competed against and were selected over their former East Coast agency. Both join a growing list of local and national companies to take full advantage of these integrated marketing services to improve their marketing efforts,” White said.

During the last 25 years, MillerWhite has serviced accounts throughout Indiana, the Midwest, across the U.S. and in international markets. The firm adds its newest client, Ameresco, to a growing list that already includes Clabber Girl, Pfizer, City Market and Herff Jones. MillerWhite has retained a working relationship with 70% of its client base for 10 years or longer.

MillerWhite provides integrated marketing/research, public relations, advertising and interactive media services to its clients from offices in Indianapolis and Terre Haute.
