2021 Excalibur Awards
And the award goes to…us! Congratulations to the team for an incredible showing at the PRSA Buffalo Niagara Excalibur Awards. By night’s end, The Martin Group had stacked up 17 awards noting our efforts in public relations, including 4 gold, 5 silver, and 7 bronze. Oh, and don’t forget the Best in Show platinum award for our team’s work on Rich Products’ social media strategy.
As good as it feels to be recognized for smart, strategic work, the highlight of the night had to be honoring our recently retired coworker, friend, and PR legend: Dick Shaner, Jr. The video celebrating his long and illustrious career brought back a lot of good memories. We’ll miss you, Dick!
