Recently retired State Archivist and Archives Partnership Trust Board Member Tom Ruller will also be receiving a lifetime achievement award during the conference.
Communicator Awards (Submitted by OGS Media Services)
New York, NY
The Communicator Awards are dedicated to recognizing excellence, effectiveness, and innovation across all areas of communication. It is the leading international awards program honoring talent in this highly competitive field. Founded nearly three decades ago, the Communicator Awards receives almost 5,000 entries from companies, agencies, studios, and boutique shops of all sizes, making it, globally, one of the largest award shows of its kind. For its 29th season, its aim was to bring clear and impactful storytelling to the forefront with an expanded representation of categories in Corporate Communications, Public Relations and Integrated Marketing.
This project would not have been possible without the media skills and masterful storytelling abilities of Chris Conto and the OGS Media Services team, 2017 Empire State Archives & History Award Laureate, Trust Steward and actor Stephen Lang, and, of course, the dramatic talents of our archivists. We are truly grateful!
