Tampa, FL - In an industry-recognized international achievement, Academy Leader, Inc. / Cheap TV Spots (Cheap-TV-Spots.com) is honored to be named a Gold Award Winner in the 2006 MarCom Creative Awards.

The winning campaign, “Taste the Noise,” is a three-commercial TV campaign introducing a podcasting web destination for the age 12-34 market. The campaign aired on Fuse TV and Current TV to national audiences.

It affirms that we are capable, not only of creating a stand-alone, great-looking TV commercial, but also executing an orchestrated marketing campaign for internet start-ups on a budget.”
