DC-based PR Firm Celebrates Four Pollie
Awards, Three NYX Awards, and a 40 Under 40 Win
ROSSLYN,
Va., April 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Berman
and Company, a cutting-edge full-service public relations firm,
announced eight award wins for the firm's issue advocacy work in
2023. These wins include:
- Four Pollie Awards;
- Three NYX Awards, and;
- An American Association of Political Consultants (AAPC) 40
under 40 win, awarded to Berman owner and partner Jack Hubbard.
Sponsored by the AAPC, the Pollie Awards "set the standard
for excellence in the political communications and public affairs
industries."
Berman took home four Pollie Awards for the firm's
compelling and creative issue-advocacy campaigns. Winning campaigns
included "Homeless Hotels"– an education campaign run by the
Berman-managed Center for Union Facts. The high-profile campaign
successfully educated Californians on a union-backed ballot measure
that would have forced hotels to house homeless
individuals.
"We're unafraid to call out labor unions for
their harmful and often self-interested policies," said
Mike Saltsman, firm owner and
partner who serves as the executive director of the Center for
Union Facts. "We're thrilled to see the impact of our education
campaigns recognized, especially on an issue as important as
protecting hotel workers from union antics."
The Homeless Hotel campaign won Bronze for "Best in Show" and
Gold for best local television spot. You can see the award-winning
TV spot and learn more about the campaign here.
The AAPC's 40 under 40 award "recognizes leaders and
innovators in the political business community (including media,
advertising, polling, and public affairs) who are making a mark in
their organizations and their professions."
"I'm honored to be included among the 2024
class of 40 under 40 winners, but the award is really a recognition
of our talented and aggressive team," said Hubbard. "At
Berman, we specialize in changing the debate. We appreciate the
recognition for our unique form of advocacy and issue
management."
Berman also took home three NYX Awards, "a prestigious
international competition that recognizes and celebrates excellence
in the creative and marketing industries." Among the winners was
the Homeless Hotels campaign, which won a Gold NYX Award for
television placement.
The Berman-managed Center for the Environment and Welfare also
won Gold for television placement with its Charity Pirates ad. The
commercial used a "Pirates of the Caribbean" premise that characterized two
national animal charities—the American Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Animals and the Humane Society of the United
States—as "charity pirates" hoarding donations instead of giving to
local pet shelters.

"Creating catchy ad concepts and striking
visuals is our real bread and butter," said Berman owner
and partner Jamey Bowers, who
manages the firm's award-winning creative team. "In my three
decades at Berman, we continually try to push the envelope
with memorable ads."
Berman and Company has received more than 100 national awards
for creative and conversation-starting work. Our dynamic campaigns
have been featured in 36 college textbooks as examples of
compelling issue advocacy advertising.
