GET TO KNOW BASTIAN PR: Honors, Recognition, & Distinctions

Awards are more than boosts for the ego. They're also good indicators of the type of quality work an agency produces.

Through projects created by Principal Lisa Bastian CBC, Bastian Public Relations has won numerous prestigious writing awards for both feature articles and marketing brochures.

The International Association of Business Communicators (IABC) honored BPR with a Silver Quill writing award ("Award of Excellence") in 1999. Bastian's marketing brochure entry won first-place in a three-state district competition comparing the best work of business writers from Greater Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus, Dayton, Detroit, Fort Wayne, Indianapolis and Michiana. IABC also has honored BPR with three Bronze Quill writing awards (two "Award of Excellence" & one "Award of Merit") for work entered in city-wide communication competitions held in Dallas and Cincinnati.

Most notably, the Northeast Economic Developers Association (NEDA) presented BPR with a "Best in Class" award in its literature and sales promotion competition in 1997. The agency's work competed against the finest marketing materials produced by economic development professionals located in 11 East Coast states. The award-winning entry, "Tradelink New Jersey," is a 38-page, special-section magazine supplement produced for Public Service Electric & Gas, one of the 10 largest combined electric-and-gas companies in the United States. Designed to persuade high-tech and manufacturing firms to set up operations in New Jersey, PSE&G confirms the brochure did its job quite well.

Additionally the renowned Cincinnati Editors Association, one of America's largest citywide organizations just for editors, recognized BPR's work in annual publication contests via three First Place awards and one Second Place award.
