Magazine Awards

We love it when a client receives a new award certificate to put on the wall, or a new statue to dust, but not because it tickles our professional vanity (although it certainly does that, too). We are passionate about the quality of the work we do, and we want our clients to benefit from our best efforts on their behalf. For us, having a client’s marketing campaign, magazine, newsletter, website or other communication effort earn an award is about more than winning. We want to know what works and what doesn’t. We want to make sure that the work we do on behalf of our clients is, in fact, excellent.

The Communicator Awards is the leading international awards program recognizing big ideas in marketing and communications. Founded two decades ago, The Communicator Awards honors work that transcends innovation and craft – work that made a lasting impact.

The Award of Excellence, the highest honor, is given to those entrants whose ability to communicate positions them as the best in the field. Award of Excellence winners will also be showcased in the Interactive Winners Gallery. The Award of Distinction is presented for projects that exceed industry standards in quality and achievement.

The Communicator Awards is sanctioned and judged by the Academy of Interactive & Visual Arts, an invitation-only group consisting of top-tier professionals from acclaimed media, communications, advertising, creative and marketing firms. AIVA members include executives from organizations like Amazon, Big Spaceship, Chelsea Pictures, Conde Nast, Critical Mass, Disney, ESPN, GE Digital, IBM, The Nation of Artists, Nextdoor, Spotify, Time, Inc., the Wall Street Journal/Dow Jones, and Wired. To learn more about the AIVA please visit www.aiva.org.

pearl awards

The Pearl Awards are the longest running and most prestigious content marketing awards program in the United States and have been celebrating excellence in content marketing since 2004. Content Marketers — small and large; B2B and B2C; representing clients in a wide range of industries; and producing programs across multiple channels — have had the honor of winning a Pearl Award over the last 13 years.

The first Pearl Awards were held in 2004 in Chicago to celebrate the best in custom publishing. They have since been universally recognized as the industry standard bearer for content marketing awards and are held in New York City every year in November. The Pearl Awards are administered by The Content Council.
