Bospar Wins Two 2020 Innovation SABRE Awards from PRovoke

Bospar wins Best Micro Marketing & Most Innovative Recruitment/Retention Initiative

CHICAGO—February 13, 2020—Bospar, the boutique PR firm that puts tech companies on the map, announced it won two innovation SABRE awards from PRovoke, which recently rebranded from the Holmes Report. The Innovation SABRE Awards were selected from nearly 550 submissions, showcasing agencies’ ability to navigate and thrive with insight and innovation.

Bospar won Best Micro Marketing for their work with Unisys (NYSE: UIS) and Most Innovative Recruitment/Retention Initiative for its near-zero turnover in five years. These awards come as Bospar celebrates its five-year anniversary.

BEST MICRO MARKETING

Unisys tasked Bospar with securing broadcast coverage for its annual Security Index.  With less than a month to act, Bospar found a compelling angle that tied Unisys’ data to the midterm elections. Bospar produced a video news release (VNR), media-trained the company’s CEO, prepared a press conference to be broadcast-ready, and executed a PR plan that secured 145 broadcast placements.

Judges described the campaign as a “creative solution to a common challenge.  Accomplished an impressive feat for the media and client.”

MOST INNOVATIVE RECRUITMENT/RETENTION INITIATIVE

Bospar employs a lengthy hiring process, including interviews with all managers and leadership as well as writing tests. With this extensive process, Bospar ensures that everyone hired is the perfect fit for Bospar and for our clients. Even more impressively, Bospar has had almost zero turnover in those five years, proving that Bospar has created a working environment that people overwhelmingly prefer over the average 35% annual turnover of traditional brick-and-mortar organizations.

“Our recruiting and retention program is something we take great pride in, and this award vindicates what we’ve believed for a long time – that we can only produce award-winning results when the full team enjoys the work we put into it and sees that it translates to everyone’s shared success,” said Bospar principal Tom Carpenter. “We take great care to plan our staffing thoughtfully when we agree to accept a new client bid, and we structure that in a way that ensures a career trajectory for everyone involved. I’m personally proud of the work we’ve done to attract the talent our clients need, and to ensure we remain at near zero turnover because people love being on a winning team and are happy with their clients and passionate about the partnerships we create.”

Some of the innovations Bospar has put in place include:

“Our primary goal when we launched Bospar on Jan. 1, 2015, was to create a boutique tech PR firm that could take on the toughest jobs and deliver the most spectacular results, all of it powered by the right mix of senior leadership and up-and-coming talent,” said Bospar co-founder and principal Curtis Sparrer. “That’s exactly what we’ve done right up to the present day.”
