Heading into the holidays, there are so many reasons why we’re thankful this year… professional accomplishments, personal achievements, notable milestones, opportunities to work with incredible clients and much more.
As we head into Thanksgiving and the holiday season, it’s impossible to recount all the blessings that have come our way in 2024. Below is a list of 10 reasons Priority Marketing and its team of talented creative professionals are thankful this year:
- We exceeded $6 million in pro bono and discounted services provided over 32 years to local nonprofits and charitable organizations, helping nonprofits direct more of their resources toward their missions, programs and the community they serve.
- Founder, President and Chief Creative Officer Teri Hansen was honored by the Florida Public Relations Association, SWFL Chapter, with the Friends of Janet Philanthropy Award and was inducted into the American Advertising Federation District 4’s Advertising Hall of Fame.
- Priority Marketing’s Cold Case Playing Cards continue to rack up tips and lead to arrests, providing much-needed closure for grieving families of high-profile crimes and missing persons cases.
- We have expanded our tribe to 62 employees to better serve a growing list of clients and community partners. The University of South Florida presented Priority Marketing with its third Fast 56 Award, which recognizes the fastest-growing businesses led by USF graduates.
- FPRA honored Priority Marketing with the inaugural Silver Pinnacle Award, which recognizes the top agencies, individuals, nonprofits, corporate teams and government agencies in Florida.
- As of 2024, 32% of our active clients are nonprofit organizations, making the nonprofit industry the largest industry sector served by the agency. Our team continues to strengthen and add partnerships with important local causes that are instrumental in building a stronger community for everyone in Southwest Florida.
- The Priority Marketing tribe demonstrated 100% employee participation in United Way’s annual fundraising campaign. The firm was recognized as a Pacesetter Company, with employees contributing more than $16,000.
- Dozens of organizations entrusted us to execute signature events, like fundraising galas, grand openings and conferences that attracted tens of thousands of attendees and raised millions of dollars.
- Priority Marketing collected 6 awards at the FPRA Golden Image Awards, 5 ADDY Awards and 2 Angel Awards from the AAF, 4 Davey Awards from the Academy of Interactive and Visual Arts, and additional agency and individual awards.
- Personal bonds and a strong company culture brought the tribe even closer together in 2024 as we persevered through hurricanes and health challenges, while making time to celebrate the good.
From our family to your family, Happy Thanksgiving!
