mdg Wins 5 First-Place Art of The Show Awards
mdg garnered five first-place awards for marketing and design excellence from the International Association of Exhibitions and Events (IAEE)’s 2019 Art of the Show competition. The design contest honors the most original, creative and trend-forward promotional materials for the exhibitions and events industry. Since 1994, mdg’s creative team has been consistently recognized for the work produced for association and for-profit organizers of events in all size categories.
According to mdg Chief Marketing Strategist Kimberly Hardcastle-Geddes, “Our Creative Services Director, Kacia Reilly, has been instrumental in attracting and developing design, copy and digital talent that have helped further elevated the quality of the work we produce and she deserves much of the credit for these awards.” Vincent Polito, President, echoed those sentiments, adding, “We are also fortunate to work with amazing clients who trust us with their brands and allow us to create campaigns that not only win awards, but also deliver results.”
Winning entries were featured at Expo! Expo! IAEE’s Annual Meeting & Exhibition in Las Vegas on December 3-5. They were also displayed at the Art of the Show Competition Winners Gallery on-site.
