It’s that time of year again! Amid the hustle and bustle of summer's arrival, last month, P&G was recognized at the annual PACE Awards. And while we don’t like to make a fuss, we can’t miss an opportunity to celebrate the people behind the impactful work we do.
The Central Michigan Public Relations Society of America’s PACE Awards honor the exceptional efforts of public relations practitioners, teams and organizations tackling contemporary issues with unmatched professionalism, creativity and resourcefulness. We must give credit where credit is due, and our heartfelt appreciation goes to the CMPRSA leadership.
This year we were honored to earn seven PACE awards. In the campaign and tactic categories, we received one Pinnacle-level PACE Award — the highest designation — four PACE Awards of Excellence and two PACE Awards of Achievement. P&G was recognized for the following work:

Awards are not the be-all, end-all of our work. However, it’s icing on the cake when those awards recognize the remarkable efforts of our clients and our communities. Like our clients, our team is committed to continuous growth and improvement. We’re taking steps in the right direction and although we appreciate the celebration of our work, there is still substantial impact to be made. We sincerely appreciate the opportunity to commemorate our achievements with our community.
