Baker Annual Reports in Top 100

League of American Communications Professionals honor Qualcomm and Allergan with top prizes; category-specific honors also given to Indymac Bank and CKE Restaurants

Santa Monica, CA (August 29, 2007) — The League of American Communications Professionals (LACP) has awarded Baker Brand Communications with two “Top 100” 2006 Vision Awards. The yearly design and communications competition evaluates Annual Reports produced for over 2,500 companies, including Fortune 1000 and FORBES Global 2000 organizations. Baker has been a consistent winner of Vision Awards and has twice been named LACP’s “Top Annual Report Agency of the Year.”

Qualcomm (#14) and Allergan (#48) were honored in the top 100 competition and also received Platinum awards in their competitive classes of telecommunications and biotechnology, respectively. Additionally, Indymac took Platinum in the “Bank — Thrift and Mortgage Finance” category and CKE won Silver in “Hotels/Restaurants/Leisure.”

President and Executive Creative Director Gary Baker explains: “An effective annual presents the year’s performance, explains the strategic vision and gives leadership a venue for spelling out their vision. A report that is well written and designed builds the brand, acting as a yearly touchstone for marketing, recruiting, employee engagement and investor education.”
