Winning is Sweet for London Ad Agency and Redpath Sugar

London, ON – The story of how Redpath Sugar rebuilt its dock facility in the Toronto harbour led to a “sweet” win in the 2013 Summit Creative Awards for London’s Marketing Strategies & Solutions.

The story of how the huge SENNEBOGEN ship unloader came to Toronto earned a win in international competition for London’s Marketing Strategies & Solutions.

The story of how the huge SENNEBOGEN ship unloader came to Toronto earned a win in international competition for London’s Marketing Strategies & Solutions.

The centerpiece of Redpath’s new unloading facility is the giant green SENNEBOGEN counterbalance crane now visible from Sugar Beach in downtown Toronto. Purpose-built SENNEBOGEN material handlers are manufactured in Germany and represented in the Americas by SENNEBOGEN LLC, a client of the London advertising and communications firm.

The project included a 160 tonne crane, and the construction of a new hopper, conveyors and bridgework to provide Redpath with a complete ship-unloading solution. The turnkey effort was led by Top Lift Enterprises, the local SENNEBOGEN distributor and another client of Marketing Strategies & Solutions.

The Redpath story was written by agency staff and distributed with several photos to trade media outlets. One of the publications that ran the story, Inland Ports, made it their cover story, including a photo of the SENNEBOGEN machine against the Toronto skyline.

Robert Adeland, President of Marketing Strategies & Solutions, acknowledged that the scale of the project and the novel use of a counterbalance crane provided his editorial staff with an excellent story-telling opportunity. “The huge EQ cranes are a fairly recent development, taking the place of traditional rope cranes in port applications,” he explains. “Redpath was very excited about the technology from the beginning, and their enthusiasm comes through in the story. A harrowing overland delivery through one of the worst blizzards in recent memory was just the icing on the cake!”
