General Growth Properties, Inc., (NYSE: GGP) owner/developer of shopping centers worldwide and premier entertainment venues, recently received industry recognition for its continued excellence in marketing its diverse portfolio of properties. Garnering more awards than any other top U.S. developer, GGP received seven MAXI awards, an honor presented by the International Council of Shopping Centers and considered the industry’s most prestigious designation given for marketing achievement.

The company was recognized in categories ranging from cause-related marketing, to new media to education to corporate marketing. In April 2009, GGP filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, but continued its steadfast commitment of operating its more than 200 centers and providing an unparalleled shopper experience. By partnering with relevant and popular brands, such as TLC Network’s “What Not to Wear” and creating programs with community connections and local and national appeal, GGP optimized its marketing strategies to meet the changing needs of its consumer base and deliver programs with greater impact.

“Our goal is to create marketing programs that provide consumers the value and experience they are looking for in today’s marketplace,” said Wally Brewster, senior vice president, Marketing & Communications, General Growth Properties. “GGP’s marketing initiatives have continued to react to consumer changes with the right mix of experience and tools to reach our core audiences and markets. We’re honored our accomplishments were recognized industry-wide with seven MAXI awards.”
