DENVER (Oct. 25, 2023) – The Public Relations Global Network (PRGN), a network of more than 50 hand-selected public relations firms servicing key markets around the world, has awarded Novitas Communications with two Gold awards in the Digital Media and Community Engagement categories. Novitas Communications received an award in the Community Relations category for its “Fireworks Bucket Brigade” campaign and an award in the Social Media Communications category for its “Rent Control Social Media Advertising Campaign.”

The PRGN Awards recognize excellence and innovation in the field of public relations, celebrating the outstanding work of PRGN member agencies from around the world.

“I’m immensely proud our team brought home two Gold awards, the highest accolades in their categories, from our esteemed colleagues at the Public Relations Global Network. These are our first ‘global’ awards, and we are so honored and humbled to have our clients’ campaigns recognized on a global stage,” said Michelle Lyng, Novitas Communications founder and CEO. “We are grateful to our clients, our employees and our community for giving us these incredible opportunities. Celebrating this achievement with colleagues from around the world was truly an awesome experience.”

Community Relations – Gold Award – Fireworks Bucket Brigade

The “Fireworks Bucket Brigade” campaign captured the Gold Award in the Community Relations category. The campaign centered around a creative and community-focused approach to address firework-related safety concerns in the lead-up to Independence Day. By collaborating with local fire departments, first responders, and community organizations, Novitas Communications successfully raised awareness about firework safety and promoted responsible firework use. The campaign’s innovative strategies and tangible results have solidified Novitas’ position as a leader in community-focused public relations efforts.

“The Bucket Brigade campaign was an important start to an ongoing relationship between the fireworks industry and fire safety experts, and it was gratifying that our focus on public safety has been recognized,” said Britton Cottrell of TNT Fireworks. “We expect this program to grow year by year and help the public safely dispose of their fireworks.”

Social Media Communications – Gold Award – Rent Control Social Media Advertising Campaign

In the Social Media Communications category, Novitas received the Gold Award for its exceptional “Rent Control Social Media Advertising Campaign.” This campaign utilized the power of social media ads and Google Ads to educate Coloradans and the state legislature about the harm rent control policies have on those they are meant to help. The campaign’s success in amplifying the message of affordability and equity demonstrates Novitas Communications’ expertise in leveraging social media for impact.

“In the midst of renewed rent control discussions in the Colorado legislature, our partnership with Novitas proved pivotal,” said Destiny Bossert, CAA government affairs manager. “Together, we effectively stalled the bill’s advancement. We truly appreciate our collaboration with Novitas and applaud the seamless teamwork that helped us reach our shared goals.”
