“These honors just speak to what a great place our organization is to work,” he said. “We always take things to the next level, and that type of environment is attracting the kind of talented people who get recognized for their hard work, leadership, and innovative use of new technology.”

Among the notable awards were honorable mention in two PR News Digital Awards categories: Best Blog, and Location-Based Digital Marketing Campaign of the Year.

VFTCB was recognized for writing on the Valley Forge and Montgomery County Blog, The Pursuit – Stories Made in Montco on valleyforge.org, and technology initiatives used in the NFL Draft Campaign.

The organization was the only nonprofit honored in both categories. To market the NFL Draft, VFTCB partnered with the Philadelphia Convention and Visitors Bureau, and promoted the event on billboards, at a draft party, on social media and by using dynamic targeting on its web site, valleyforge.org/draft.

Two staff members were also honored at the 2017 PR People Awards Luncheon. Recognized as a leader of the future, Taylor Tropea, VFTCB Social Media and Brand Development Manager, was named one of PR News’ Rising Stars 30 & Under for 2017. A PR People Finalist, VFTCB Chief Marketing Officer Edward Harris received honorable mention for Marketer of the Year.
