David Ogilvy Award To Decision Analyst, Inc.

Arlington, Texas — Decision Analyst, Inc. recently won a David Ogilvy Award for its marketing research accomplishments on behalf of Tropical Freezes, a new frozen drink introduced nationally in 1995. Presented by the Advertising Research Foundation in New York, the award is the research industry's most prestigious honor, named for the famous advertising executive who pioneered the use of marketing research to make advertising more effective. Decision Analyst, Inc. was one of only six research firms worldwide to receive this recognition.

The first frozen, ready-to-drink alcohol beverage, Tropical Freezes became a runaway best seller in its first year of national distribution. Developed by Brown-Forman Beverages Worldwide, the brand achieved first-year sales of over 1.3 million cases, according to industry sources.

Tropical Freezes is an exciting new frozen beverage that's created a whole new category,” said Jerry W. Thomas, President/CEO of Decision Analyst, Inc. “The tremendous success of this brand is a real-world demonstration of the creative energy of marketing research to help develop new products and new profits for companies.”

Brown-Forman Beverages Worldwide, headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky, did a fantastic job in conceiving and developing Tropical Freezes, and in planning and executing its introductory marketing plan,” according to Thomas. “The marketing staff, the research group, and the product development specialists worked as a synergistic team to bring this exciting new brand to market on an accelerated schedule. Brown-Forman is rapidly evolving into a new-product powerhouse.”

Decision Analyst, Inc. conducted marketing research early-on to help evolve and refine the Tropical Freezes product concept, performed test market tracking and evaluation, and did research to help guide creative development, as well as communications research to assist in final advertising evaluation.

“We are elated about this honor because it recognizes that some of the best marketing research in the world is going on here in the Southwest—and here at Decision Analyst. This award is a tribute to our outstanding professional staff, their commitment to excellence, and their singular dedication to the success of our clients."
