  • New York, NY (1888PressRelease) January 25, 2011 - Jacqueline Urgo, President of The Marketing Directors, Inc., was named Marketing Director of the Year at The NationalsSM award ceremony held on January 12th during the 2011 National Association of Home Builders' (NAHB) annual International Builders' Show (IBS).

    Urgo was chosen for the Marketing Director of the Year Gold Award from a group of five finalists from around the country. She received a Silver Award in the same category from the organization in 2005. The Manhattan-based marketing and sales/leasing organization also won Sales Team of the Year at the 2011 ceremony for its work on The Visionaire in Battery Park City.

    The awards are presented annually by the NAHB's National Sales and Marketing Council (NSMC), which oversees The NationalsSM, the nation's largest and most prestigious awards competition for new home sales and marketing professionals. This year's gala event was held at the Peabody Hotel in Orlando, Fla.

    "I proudly accept this prestigious award, not just for myself, but on behalf of the extremely talented group of real estate marketing and sales professionals we have at The Marketing Directors who work on some of the most high-profile and professionally-demanding real estate projects in the country," Urgo said. "This is a great honor and one that strengthens my resolve to continue to achieve outstanding results for our clients."

    Jacqueline Urgo joined The Marketing Directors, Inc. in 1986 as a Project Manager and moved up the ranks to Director of Marketing and then President. She has received numerous industry awards in addition to her two Marketing Director awards from the National Sales and Marketing Council, including: 2004 Associated Builders and Owners of Greater New York Emma Lazarus Award, 2007 Women of Influence Award, 2008 Associated Builders and Owners of Greater New York Person of the Year honor and Tri State RE Magazine's 2008 Top Women in Real Estate Award.

    "Jackie is one of the hardest workers in the industry and well-deserving of all of the recognition that comes her way," said Adrienne Albert, CEO of The Marketing Directors, Inc. "This latest award underscores her leadership ability and reaffirms my belief that we have the best real estate marketing and sales professionals in the nation at The Marketing Directors."
    Helping to validate that belief was the second Gold Award The Marketing Directors took home at The NationalsSM. The sales team for The Visionaire in Battery Park City - Ann Froelich, Cory Walters, Richard Sackmann and Gabriela Guizzo - won Sales Team of the Year for their outstanding work on the country's "greenest" residential project. They were one of six sales teams nominated for the award.

    The NationalsSM - which originated as the MIRM Awards in 1982 -recognizes superior new home sales and marketing achievements. The NationalsSM award ceremony is held each year as part of the National Association of Home Builders' annual International Builders' Show.
