Scene from the film “Dealer Voices” for Buick GMC

Pop the champagne! It’s time to celebrate.

Takeda Entertainment’s film “Dealer Voices” for Buick GMC picked up “Best of Show” at the 2012 BMA Gold Key Awards which features exclusively business-to-business (B2B) entries. It also won best film in the TV/Film category. The BMA (or Business Marketing Association) is the top B2B marketing organization in the country.

The judges said the entry was an “excellent corporate film that was successful in getting Buick GMC’s North American dealers excited for a big sales push in 2012. This video had good build up throughout the piece and a great ending.”

“Obviously I’m very flattered,” said director Scott Takeda. “I love telling compelling stories, so it’s nice when everything comes together like it did on this project.”
