    Stevie Award for best marketing team
    Issued by The American Business Awards
    In 2002, Juniper Networks underwent a major face lift. The marketing team was faced with a daunting challenge: On a $1.5 million dollar budget, how could Juniper Networks supersize its brand campaign in order to make an impact against its largest rival Cisco Systems with a budget of $150 million? How to compete with the 800lb gorilla with significant brand name recognition and much more resources? Led by Christine Heckart, vice president of marketing, the team came up with the winning strategy: make the ad a “cartoon” that used humor to get its point across and poked fun at the competitor rather than taking a direct swing.
