What’s Your Avocado? Marketing & PR Awarded Prestigious Certificate of Excellence
by Public Relations Society of America
Mount Vernon-based Firm Honored for WA State Potato Commission Annual Report by PRSA, Puget Sound Chapter
April 2, 2018, Mount Vernon, WA: What’s Your Avocado? Marketing & Public Relations, based in Mount Vernon, was honored recently at the 2018 Totem Awards event in Seattle by the Puget Sound Chapter of the Public Relations Society of America. What’s Your Avocado? was awarded the prestigious Certificate of Excellence for their work on the Washington State Potato Commission’s (WSPC) Annual Report.
One Totem Awards judge said of What’s Your Avocado’s approach to reaching objectives: “You have three strong objectives for this report, including an absolutely crucial one – providing proof of programming and other budgetary deliverables. It is clear that your planning supported these objectives.”
Another judge noted: “You also did a good job of condensing a lot of information into short but impactful stories. I particularly like the variety of stories – everything from government advocacy to a potato contest with the local school system. Oftentimes it can be hard in limited space to show multiple angles of impact, but you did it here.”
The theme of the cover, that is carried through the entire document, is an homage to the Old Farmer’s Almanac to visually emphasize the heritage of farmers while also highlighting the advances listed in the research section of the report.
PRSA Puget Sound honors the best public relations programs, tactics and practitioners in the region at its annual Totem Awards Celebration. The awards are recognized as a symbol of creativity and accomplishment for the Public Relations industry in the Puget Sound area. The program is designed to recognize projects and programs that demonstrate excellence in PR and rise above the competition.
On the night of the Totem Awards event, What’s Your Avocado? was in good company. Other award winners included agencies who represent Amazon, Alaska Airlines, Xbox and Boeing.
