Last week, Allyn Media was awarded the highest honor given in the field of public affairs and political advertising for their work on behalf of Texas State Senator John Carona, Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings and Fort Worth Mayor Betsy Price. The Pollie Awards, often referred to as the “Emmys of Politics,” are awarded each year to recognize work from firms across the country in newspaper, direct mail, phones, Internet, fundraising, radio, television and student categories.
In the Best Republican Direct Mail Campaign category, Allyn Media and Texas State Senator John Carona received a Gold Pollie, the highest award given this year for direct mail series, for the “Who Wouldn’t Vote for Carona” series. This category encompasses direct mail campaigns for all levels of political office, from Presidential to municipal, honoring influential and innovative direct mail strategies. There were no additional Gold awards given for other direct mail campaigns across all parties. To view one of the brochures in the series, click here.

“The Allyn Media team is very proud to receive such high honors for our work, especially competing against campaigns from all levels of office throughout the country and even internationally,” Mari Woodlief, President & CEO of Allyn Media, said. “These awards, and the ones we have taken home in previous years show that our approach to messaging, our creativity and our overall campaign strategies are getting attention from voters and helping our candidates win major races.”
