"We're seeing a trend toward more targeted print materials and effective use of tactile printing effects that really speak to the customer," said Carol Caposino, Vice President and Production Manager at FKM, an advertising agency based in Houston.  "The work that was showcased at the Encore Awards represents more thoughtful use of print, and proves that marketers understand and value effective use of ink on paper."

The finalists' entries will be displayed throughout emerge where conference guests can view them and cast votes for the People's Encore Award. The People's Encore Award will also be announced on April 18 at the Encore Awards gala in New Orleans.
