Duffey recently took home 18 awards from the PRSA Georgia Chapter – and these awards, along with two Gold Marcom awards and a Gold Stevie – are a testament to the teamwork and collaboration between our agency and our clients. 

As you can imagine, we are quite proud and still celebrating.  The awards reflect our work in a wide-ranging field of industries – from technology to consumer and non-profit.  They exemplify an impressive depth of expertise in areas such as strategic planning; research; media relations; writing; reputation and brand management; social change; and community relations.

Anyone who has submitted a PR and/or marketing industry award knows it’s not an easy process – but the fruits of labor are well worth it.  Our peers are very tough judges, and to come out on top is a testament to our team performance and our .

In the end, however, awards are not just about celebration – they help us reflect on what has worked, what has not, and what we can do better to win even more awards next year. And most importantly, they help us build stronger client programs with defined, measurable results.

So here’s to the team – and here’s to 2013!  Cheers.

Note:  Yes – I am shameless in the self promotion of our team – they deserve it!
