The New Media Firm Recognized in 2017 Awards Season

The New Media Firm was honored to be recognized in the 2017 awards season at both the Pollie and Telly awards for our work in the 2016 cycle.

The American Association of Political Consultants (AAPC) recognizes excellence in political advertising and communications with their annual Pollie Awards Conference. We received five Pollie awards for our work in 2016 which included both digital and television advertising for candidates, ballot initiatives and public affairs clients around the country. We helped raise the minimum wage in Maine, defend public schools against harmful siphoning of funding by charters in Massachusetts, and highlight the important work of educators in North Carolina and New Jersey in the 2016 cycle, among other victories for candidates and ballot initiative campaigns.

In addition to the Pollie awards, The New Media Firm was also recognized at the Telly awards. The Telly Awards honor the best in film and video productions, online video content, along with local, regional, and cable TV commercials and programs. Our spot for the New Jersey Education Association, “Beautiful Music”, received a silver Telly award for excellence in the Regional Commercials in the Not-for-Profit category.

Thank you to our clients who share our commitment to progressive values.
