Winner of a 2009 Communicator Award

A marketing brochure in my portfolio has recently received a Communicator Award. The brochure was given an Award of Distinction in the Print category. The Communicator Awards is the largest and most competitive awards program honoring the creative excellence of communications professionals.

The Communicator Awards is sanctioned and judged by the International Academy of the Visual Arts, an invitation-only body consisting of top-tier professionals from a “Who’s Who” of acclaimed media, communications, advertising, creative and marketing firms.

IAVA members include executives from organizations such as Alloy, Brandweek, Coach, Disney, The Ellen Degeneres Show, Estee Lauder, Fry Hammond Barr, HBO, Monster.com, MTV, Polo Ralph Lauren, Sotheby’s Institute of Art, Victoria’s Secret, Wired, and Yahoo!

“The quality, creativity and execution of this year’s work is a true testament to the talents and abilities of communications professionals from around the world. The entries received reflect an increasingly diversified industry and the work once again sets the bar extremely high,” noted Linda Day, director of the IAVA.

She added, “On behalf of the entire Academy, we are honored to have once again judged the 15th Annual Communicator Awards and we are proud to honor the outstanding communications professionals who continue to push a high standard of excellence.”

I participated in the winning project as a copywriter, and worked collaboratively with other members of the client’s marketing communications team to create the brochure. I’m thrilled to share this award with fellow members of my team.
