Charleston, SC (February 2, 2007) – CanalSide’s groundbreaking event receives the Spark! Dynamite Award for marketing excellence at an event, from the Charleston Chapter of the American Marketing Association.

The Spark! Award is the only competition in the state recognizing a select few for overall marketing excellence, and focuses on marketing strategy and return on investment received through strong and influential marketing campaigns. The six winners were announced and presented with their awards at the first annual ceremony held at I’On Creek Club.

The American Marketing Association (AMA), one of the largest professional associations for marketers, has 38,000 members worldwide in every area of marketing. For over six decades the AMA has been the leading source for information, knowledge sharing and development in the marketing profession.

CanalSide is a mixed-use development to be built on the banks of the Columbia Canal in downtown Columbia’s desirable Vista district. The community, developed by Beach CanalSide, LLC, an affiliate of The Beach Company, represents the new way to live in Columbia: a “city within a city” that will include retail, commercial and a wide range of residential offerings, all in a pedestrian-friendly neighborhood environment.

The Beach Company, founded in Charleston in 1945, has honored a tradition of responsibility and excellence in providing top quality real estate products and services for communities, businesses, industries and most importantly families across the Charleston Lowcountry and Southeast Region.
