罢丑别听#IAmGallaudet campaign, which began in 2022, received an honorable mention in the Communications and Campaigns: Brand Reputation Campaign category at the PRNEWS Platinum Awards gala on October 18 in New York City. The entry, one of three finalists, was titled 鈥淩evitalizing Our Community After the Pandemic.鈥� 聽

The winning entry, by Mixte Communications, was for 鈥淧ositioning Father Joe鈥檚 Villages as a Leader in Homeless Services Providers.鈥� It is described thusly: 鈥淎s San Diego鈥檚 largest homeless services provider, Father Joe鈥檚 Villages engaged Mixte to help it maintain its relationships with the community despite regional setbacks. The campaign goal was to build upon Father Joe鈥檚 Villages鈥� reputation by building public awareness around the organization鈥檚 commitment to advocacy and long-term solutions for homelessness, as well as position it as a nonprofit employer of choice. The team鈥檚 efforts contributed to community trust, creating a profound response to the Children鈥檚 Charity Gala, which raised more than $1 million for the first time.鈥� The other honorable mention in this category went to Davies Public Affairs for its campaign, 鈥淎merican Lithium Production Without an Engaging Story.鈥�
