The term “award shows” is often associated with star-studded events like the Academy Awards or the Grammys. “Blinged out” celebrities arrive in black tie, red carpet-ready attire. They receive recognition for their multi-million or multi-platinum fame, all televised for the adoring fans at home. That wasn’t quite the scene as Andy Cooper and I left the office Monday around 5:45 p.m.
Today we learned that CooperKatz, along with our clients the Philadelphia Eagles and SolarBlue, won the SABRE Award for best newspaper placement of 2010!

At any given time on Petfinder.com, the largest online database of adoptable pets, there are more than 320,000 pets waiting for someone to give them the home they deserve. This year, Petfinder turns 15 years-old and celebrates more than 17 million adoptions since 1996. To drive awareness about how many pets are in need of a family – while pursuing the goal of securing 2.5 million adoptions this year – CooperKatz helped Petfinder kick off its 15th birthday celebration with "Help Petfinder Adopt the Internet Day"on March 15.
According to a survey conducted by Petfinder.com, the largest online database of adoptable pets, approximately 84 percent of animal shelters and rescue groups see family pets returned to them because of behavioral issues that could have been resolved with the proper training and resources. Sadly, these adoptable pets almost always have a harder time finding forever homes because their behavior problems were left untreated. In celebration of National Train Your Dog Month, Petfinder.com partnered with Andrea Arden from the Association of Pet Dog Trainers (APDT) to launch Train FurKeeps, a program designed to teach families easy training techniques and ultimately decrease the number of pets relinquished to shelters.
