Accounting Marketing Firm Wins Awards

Edge Marketing, Inc., a Minneapolis-based public relations and marketing firm serving the needs of organizations in the legal and accounting industries, was recently honored with two 2018 MarCom awards. The agency was named a Platinum Winner for a publicity campaign and a Gold Winner for online placement, both in the Strategic Communications category. Submissions were for campaigns designed and executed by the agency on behalf of two Edge clients, both of which are technology companies serving the legal industry.

One of the oldest, largest and most prestigious creative competitions in the world, MarCom Awards recognize outstanding achievement by marketing and communication professionals. Approximately 6,000 entries were submitted this year from corporate marketing and communication departments, advertising agencies, PR firms, design shops, production companies and freelancers. Winners of the competition range in size from individual communicators to media conglomerates and Fortune 500 companies.

MarCom Awards are administered and judged by the Association of Marketing and Communication Professionals, an international organization that oversees awards and recognition programs, provides judges and sets standards for excellence. Judges are industry professionals who look for companies and individuals whose talents exceed a high standard of excellence and whose work serves as a benchmark for the industry. Entries come from throughout the United States, Canada and dozens of other countries. Historically, about 15 percent of entries have won Platinum, the top award, and around 20 percent Gold with another 10 percent of entries being Honorable Mention winners.
