Maitland firm wins five awards at FPRA gala
Orlando, Fla. (April 23, 2007) – Curley & Pynn Public Relations Management Inc. was honored with five awards at the annual Image Awards gala Thursday, April 19. The event is conducted by the Florida Public Relations Association’s (FPRA) Orlando Area Chapter to honor outstanding public relations tools and programs.
“We’re very pleased to receive this honor,” said Roger Pynn, president and CEO of the firm. “These awards and the work that earned them stand for the strategic vision on which our firm is built.”
The Maitland firm’s design team was recognized with two Image awards, which are given to the best entry in each division. The first recognized the team’s redesign of the firm’s Web site, TheStrategicFirm.com. The Web site was the focal point of a campaign that was also entered for Image consideration.
In launching the Web site, Curley & Pynn utilized an effective multimedia plan for promoting the new web presence that involved unique, attention-getting mailings, which resulted in a 27 percent increase in traffic to the site. The program was awarded both a Judges award, which honors an entry achieving maximum results with minimum expense, and an Award of Distinction, for meeting the chapter’s standards of excellence.
The second Image award recognized Curley & Pynn’s design efforts for the Children’s Home Society of Florida (CHS) 2005 Annual Report. CHS is a leader in the provision of services that build and support healthy families, from adoption and foster care to child abuse prevention programs.
In addition, the firm earned another Award of Distinction for its part in the redesign of the CHS Web site. The annual report and Web site were both part of a broader effort to recreate all promotional materials for CHS.
