FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE June 19, 2017 CONTACT: Alex Thompson Director, Communications & Marketing [email protected] 703-752-7526 | | Northern Virginia Chamber of Commerce Named Recipient of National Communications Excellence Award | | Tysons, Va. – The Northern Virginia Chamber of Commerce (Northern Virginia Chamber) has been named a winner of an industry award that recognizes communications and marketing work. Presented annually by Alexandria, Va.-based Association of Chamber of Commerce Executives, the Communications Excellence awards program is designed to celebrate exceptional work in the areas of advertising and marketing, campaigns, digital and publications. The Northern Virginia Chamber received a Grand Award for its rebrand campaign. A panel of peers — communications and marketing executives from chambers of commerce around North America — evaluated submissions and selected top entries to receive recognition. Award-winning entries represent the work of 41 organizations in 23 U.S. states and the Cayman Islands. Of the 49 award-winning entries in 2017, 12 are recognized as Grand Award winners and 37 are recognized as Award of Excellence winners. Three Best in Show awards will be announced at a special event Tuesday, July 18 in Nashville, Tennessee. “Communicating effectively is vital for chambers of commerce and grabbing attention is becoming increasingly challenging. This year’s award-winning entries represent work that’s not only effective, but incredibly creative and innovative,” said Ben Wills, director of communications and marketing for the Association of Chamber of Commerce Executives. "Communications professionals at chambers of commerce work tirelessly to promote their members, businesses in the community they serve, and the unique characteristics that make their state or region a top place to live, work and play.” “On behalf of the Northern Virginia Chamber staff and our volunteer leadership, we are honored to receive this prestigious award for our 2016 rebrand campaign,” said Jim Corcoran, president & CEO of the Northern Virginia Chamber of Commerce. “This comprehensive, multi-faceted campaign required the focus, commitment, and collaboration of our entire team, and we are extremely proud to be recognized for the hard work that went into making our rebranding a success.” ### |
