DENVER, Colo., (Nov. 13, 2025) — Novitas Communications is the winner of a first-of-its-kind award at Ragan Communications’ inaugural 2025 Zenith Awards.
The agency was honored to accept the Digital Communications award, celebrating the agency’s exceptional work in strategic communications and public relations during the 2025 Colorado legislative session.
The Zenith Awards, announced during a celebratory dinner on November 12 at the Hyatt Regency in Austin, Texas, spotlight the most inspiring, innovative and results-driven campaigns in internal and external communications throughout the United States in 2024 and 2025. The awards event served as an anchor of Communications Week, bringing together industry leaders, teams and rising stars to honor outstanding storytelling, brand reputation, employee engagement and measurable impact.
“It’s an honor to accept this recognition for our work on Protect Our Paychecks,” said Blaise Tracy, Novitas director to the audience at the ceremony in Austin. “I’m incredibly proud of our team’s agility — optimizing in real time, producing a 7% click-through rate, and helping drive more than 700 petition signers in a very short amount of time. Most of all, I’m proud that our work has made a positive and tangible impact for our community.”
Ragan’s Zenith Awards celebrate work that exemplifies creativity, strategy and insight across the communications profession. This year’s winners represented the top echelon of excellence in categories such as thought leadership, media relations, crisis response and multimedia storytelling.
“The Zenith Awards honor the communicators who are taking our industry to new heights,” said Brendan Gannon, Senior Marketing Manager of Ragan’s Awards programs. “This year’s winners set the standard for excellence, and we’re thrilled to spotlight their achievements on a national stage.”
