Gold Star Performances

Holben, who started her Denver consultancy in 1999, has won national awards during her professional career (a Clarion for the Cham-Nicks Portfolio direct mail campaign; Healthcare Advertising Award from Healthcare Marketing Report for the "Galichia Medical Take Your Health to Heart" sales newsletter; and recognition from the Hotel Sales and Marketing Association for the Residence Inn "White Glove" direct mail program), but she puts the focus on getting results for her clients as opposed to winning awards. According to Holben, she has plenty of verve, enthusiasm and creativity to energize her client's media campaigns to the fullest.
