The firm is being recognized as a finalist for the coveted PRSA Excalibur Awards and as a winner in the IABC Bronze Quill Awards, showcasing its strength in public relations and business communication.
Founded on a commitment to excellence, The Mach 1 Group has made a significant impact within the communications landscape, particularly with its recent campaign for the Texas Secretary of State's 2024 Voter Education Tour. This information initiative, which aimed to boost voter engagement, has drawn accolades for achieving over 1,000 media mentions and a 5% increase in voter registration compared to the previous election cycle in 2022. This achievement has led to the nomination in the category of Best Public Service/Non-Profit/Public Affairs Campaigns for the PRSA Excalibur Awards.
The announcement of finalists for the prestigious Excalibur Awards will be celebrated at a gala event on June 26 at The Majestic Metro in downtown Houston, where communication professionals from various sectors will gather to acknowledge the best in the field. Alongside the PRSA honors, The Mach 1 Group has also been selected as a winner of the Bronze Quill Award by the Houston Chapter of the IABC, specifically in Division 1 Communication Management. The results will be announced at a separate gala on June 12 at the Houston Club.
