PORTLAND, Ore. – January 23, 2012 – R2C Group ®, the industry’s largest independent direct response advertising agency, today announced it has secured top 50 rankings for thirteen of its client campaigns running throughout 2011.
Cmedia, the media-planning and -buying team within R2C Group, bought and managed strategic media campaigns for six of the top 25 infomercials, including shows for Euro-Pro, Total Gym and Tria Beauty. Respond 2, the creative team within R2C Group, produced the three Euro-Pro shows: Shark Navigator Lift Away, Shark Professional Steam Pocket and Ninja KS1100. Respond2 also partnered with Cmedia to produce and buy media for two of the top four short-form direct response commercials.
