Cottman Transmission and Total Auto Care Honored with Summit Silver Award for Animation Cottman’s Transmission Physician Video Series Racks Up Another Award

HORSHAM, Pa. – Cottman Transmission and Total Auto Care continue to bring home award after award for its digital marketing proficiency with yet another award in its repertoire, growing the brand’s reputation for quality and service.

Out of more than 5,000 submissions from 24 countries, Cottman’s web series “Transmission Physician,” featuring an animated female transmission expert, earned the Silver Award in the 2017 Summit Creative Award competition for its creative work in the educational animated video series.

“There’s nothing more gratifying than seeing your team’s hard work pay off, and the Cottman crew put their heart and soul into creating the Transmission Physician,” said Derik Beck, vice president of digital marketing at Cottman. “Watching her take home so many distinguished honors just reinforces why we do what we do, and how important it is to value service and education for our customers over everything.”

The Summit Creative Award (SCA) recognizes and celebrates the creative achievements of small and medium-sized advertising agencies worldwide with annual billings under $30 million. Celebrating its 23rd year, the SCA has firmly established itself as the premier arbiter of creative excellence for firms of this size and has become a coveted honor.

Entries in 13 major categories are judged against a stringent set of standards. During its blind judging (entering company names withheld) the Board of Judges search for and identify innovative and creative concepts, strong executions and user experience, and the ability to communicate and persuade. Winners were selected in a wide range of categories from print and broadcast to online advertising and social media.

Winning a Summit Creative Award goes even further to raise Cottman’s reputation as an industry leader for the Transmission Physician video series, as it contributes to the overall marketing strategy of Cottman.

The Summit Award is just one in a string of awards that the Transmission Physician has garnered in 2017 – the brand also took home the following in recent months:

Two Telly Awards – A Bronze Award for “Craft Use of Animation for Branded Content & Entertainment” and a Bronze Award for “Web Series for Video, Shows or Segments”
-Earned the Gold Award in the 2017 Hermes Creative Awards competition in the category “Electronic Media Websites” for the subcategory of “Educational Video Series.”
Two Communicator Awards – Earned an “Excellence” designation from the Communicator Awards in the category of an online video in a campaign or web series. The series also earned a “Distinction” designation in the category of an online video in video education.

“We created the Transmission Physician to honor the women who have played an important role in making our industry what it is today, and are essential to the development and modernization of the auto industry,” said Beck. “Cottman stands for inclusivity at all levels, and we’re thrilled that the Transmission Physician is being honored at the international level, hopefully going even further to bring this message to the world.”

The Transmission Physician web series is a standout component of Cottman’s broader catalog of educational digital content. Using fun, accessible animation and themes, Cottman shares its educational videos on the brand’s website as a way for consumers to learn more about common car care topics.

As a specialist in transmission technology and repair, the Transmission Physician debunks common transmission myths, shares specialized, transmission-specific advice and explores related topics such as checking the automatic transmission fluid (ATF), why transmissions are so expensive, the process of how a transmission works, rechecks and more.

She joins the Cottman Man, the brand’s well-known namesake who has long starred in his own digital series, teaching consumers about car care and tips to maintain the longevity of their vehicles. Together, these characters strengthen Cottman’s ability to connect with consumers and creatively share meaningful maintenance information that adds value to the excellent services already offered at every Cottman location.

    The customer service was concerned about the parking area for my vehicle for overnight early bird service.They called me to inform me they were gonna check back with me before any services on my vehicle were done with my approval which, made me comfortable to know they showed responsibility in their work.

    Fast, friendly, reliable and fair. I ended up having to get my town & country transmission repaired/replaced & my spark plugs replaced right before Christmas this past year & they said they could do it the next day if I could leave it that day. Well I didn't have a ride home & my other car needed a jump start since we hadn't driven it much. The owner not only offered to drive me home, but also jump start my other car so I could of get my niece from school. If that's not service, I don't know what is. They also ened up doing my 2014 escape transmission the yr b4. They were recommended by a friend & I would recommend them as well.

    I purchased a "newly" used vehicle and was concerned about transmission issues and they made sure I was taken care of. The staff was extremely friendly and polite, and not only did they provide me with all the necessary services I needed, they also educated me. I would highly recommend this location.

    Kevin and his entire staff are the best. I had a brake caliper fail and they took care of very quickly and for a great price. Since then, I had new flare fenders with led lights installed on my Jeep Wrangler. Same great service and value.

    I have been taking my vehicles to Cottman for the last year and I have never been disappointed. Kevin is the General Manager and I have known him personally for several years. This is an honest shop with quality work and great, trustworthy employees. Law Enforcement friendly, which is a major plus. It is hard to find a reliable place for vehicles now and days so skip the stress and take your vehicles here.

    Great customer service!! The staff was very attentive. A issue arose while they were working on my vehicle, and the mechanics diagnosed it and where back on track in no time. What I liked the most was that they kept me in the loop while they tried to find a resolution.
