That's because Roxburgh (aka ROX) of Costa Mesa is a finalist for more awards than any other marketing firm...a total of 23!

This marks the second consecutive year that ROX has hit the finalist jackpot. Last year, the agency received the most nominations for Orange County's coveted MAME Awards, which have been combined this year with LA/Ventura's Elan Awards and the Inland Empire's Laurel Awards to create the all-encompassing SoCal Awards, which honor excellence in the marketing of new-home communities throughout Southern California.

ROX's achievement spanned a long list of award categories and communities, with Standard Pacific Homes' The Dorian, The Foundry and Lake@Walnut topping the list.

Roxburgh's creative efforts on behalf of The Foundry in Torrance are contenders for Best Logo, Best Graphic Continuity, Best Brochure, Best Internet Marketing Campaign - Banners, Best Print Advertisement and Best Website for a Community.

For The Dorian in Playa Vista, ROX is nominated for Best Graphic Continuity, Best Brochure, Best Direct Mail - Multiple Pieces, Best Internet Marketing Campaign - eBlasts and Best Internet Marketing Campaign - Banners.

Roxburgh's finalists for Lake@Walnut in Pasadena include Best Internet Marketing Campaign - Banners and Best Website for a Community.

In addition, ROX shares credit for five communities that are finalists for Community of the Year: MBK Homes' Greenbrier in the single-family detached category; Brookfield Homes' Belcourt at Edenglen in Ontario and MBK Homes' Ravello in the attached suburban category; and The Dorian and Lake@Walnut in the attached urban category.

ROX is also in contention for the award for Best Website for an Associate for KTGY Group, Inc.
