Quicken Loans ‘Thanks a Million’ Commercial Earns Three National Awards

Detroit, MI (PRWEB) August 16, 2011

Quicken Loans, Inc., was the recent recipient of three national awards for their “Thanks a Million” commercial which celebrated the closing of the online lender’s millionth loan and the company’s 25th anniversary.

The commercial recently earned a Silver People’s Telly Award for “People’s Choice” and “Best Use of Humor” in a commercial at the 32nd Telly Awards in New York City, which honors the very best local, regional, and cable TV commercials and programs. The spot also won “Best Commercial” at the California International Short Festival, which showcases the best independent short films.

Last fall, the 50-state lender of refinance and purchase mortgages used its own creative team to develop the commercial with assistance from Seventy7Productions, owned by Wayne State University film professor Marc Ruiz. The concept features the destructive things people would do to their mortgage such as running it over with a lawn mower and more, if they were to win the grand prize – their mortgage paid in full by Quicken Loans.
