bireM

A Vancouver, B.C., condominium marketing firm's work on Intracorp's The Vine in Seattle's Belltown neighborhood won praise from the National Association of Home Builders. Cliff Bowman's Builders International Real Estate Marketing Corp., which calls itself bireM, says the association gave bireM and Cedar Developments LLC four gold marketing awards, called Nationals. The awards were: Attached Community of the Year-Urban, Best Urban Sales Office, Best Overall Advertising Campaign and Marketing Director of the Year, which went to bireM's Dean Jones. The Vine totals 174 luxury, high-rise condos. bireM and Cedar Developments also received nine silver awards and 12 regional marketing awards for The Vine. Bowman, known as a master of selling sizzle, has cleaned up on the awards in the past few years.
