Our client, the Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency (PHFA), won a gold 2018 MarCom Award!

The MarCom Awards honor excellence in marketing and communication, recognizing the creativity, hard work, and generosity of industry professionals. The annual awards have evolved into one of the largest, most respected competitions in the world. Each year since 2004, approximately 6,000 print and digital entries are submitted from dozens of countries, and we’re proud that PHFA’s 2017 annual report, “Part of the Community,” was recognized in such an esteemed competition.
