Regarding the winning campaign, Killerspots owner Storm Bennett commented, "By providing quality messaging across several mediums we were able to expand Cincinnati Tan's reach and garner new customers."

Killerspots also won a People's Telly Award for their humorous commercial "The Copier" they produced for Cincinnati Tan.
