For the second time in as many years, The Publicus Community, a full-service advertising and public relations firm was recognized by the American Advertising Federation’s ADDY Awards. This time for their creative campaign for Currents Magazine.

Currents is a quarterly digital and print magazine centered around Deep Water Cay, an ultra-private resort in the Bahamas. The magazine features intriguing articles and profiles of those associated with the area, the resort and island’s residential opportunities.

“The ADDY’s are the gold standard of the advertising industry and to have this project recognized by our peers is a welcomed accomplishment,” said Peter Dawyot, Managing Director of The Publicus Community.

In 2014, The Publicus Community was recognized with an ADDY for Summit Magazine, a 64-page lifestyle magazine for a resort in Idaho.  “This year’s ADDY is a testament to the stellar work that our team continues to produce,” said Dawyot. “I am very proud of all of our designers, copywriters, digital strategists and account managers and so thankful for our wonderful clients who afford us the chance to be so creative.”

The members of Publicus Community who helped make Currents possible included: Melissa Hanaka – Account Strategist, Connie Oh – Creative Director, Mark Johnson – Featured Writer, Steve Olshansky – Featured Writer, Emily Forsberg – Digital Creative Design,  Maari Casey – Photo Shoot Director, and Kris Schmitz – Photographer.
