MPI also received two honorable mentions for media relations tools used to promote the campaign including a news release and media kit that featured historical biographies of these World War II veterans.

Meanwhile, the agency was recognized in the campaign/special event category for Big Bad Ball, an annual fundraiser for Hospice of Wake County (HOWC). MPI designed the campaign "A Sophisticated Soirée, Where it's Good to be Bad" with a creative design that invited an 'over the top' night on the town. The annual black-tie event is one of HOWC's largest fundraisers, with all proceeds going toward their benevolent care program.
