The agency also took home a Copper Anvil Award of Merit for their special events work with Citadel Completions.
Copper Anvil Award for “Labor of Love” PR Special Event Management
48 West earned the prestigious Copper Anvil award for the Risas Dental and Braces annual Labor of Love event held on Labor Day across the nation. Risas Dental and Braces is the leader in affordable and innovative dental health care. Each year, Risas demonstrates their commitment to giving back in the communities they serve through their signature “Labor of Love” event by providing free dental care at all of their office locations nationwide.
The public relations special event campaign garnered more than 28 million online impressions and the event continues to hold a lasting impact in the communities Risas serves. "The Labor of Love event is so inspiring. They have people queuing in line waiting for dental care the day before the event at each location. Managing the public relations effort and coordinating with news crews and the Risas team was a very rewarding experience," said Alison Rose, Vice President of Public Relations, 48 West Agency.
Copper Anvil Award of Merit for Citadel Completions National Business Aviation Association Event
Letting "the sky's the limit" motto inspire the agency, 48 West created a luxury National Business Aviation Association experience for CitadelCompletions in the Las Vegas Sands private hangar to announce Citadel as the newest entrant in the very
competitive full-scale interior completions for luxury aircraft market. In 2019 Citadel was a new entrant to the competitive Very Very Important Person (VVIP) aircraft interior completions market and turned to 48 West Agency to build a strategic campaign designed to capture the attention of ultra-high net worth (UHNW) individuals.
"48 West solved a marketing challenge for Citadel by positioning the fledgling company in a very competitive industry.
