Rainier Takes Home a Pair of Bulldog Reporter Awards for Best-in-Class PR Campaigns

Earlier this week, Bulldog Reporter announced the winners of the 2016 Bulldog Media Relations Awards program – and Rainier made the cut from hundreds of entries, not once, but twice! Our public relations firm was honored with the following two awards:

  • Silver Award Winner
    Best Technology Campaign – Business
    Sckipio – Consumer Re-Messaging Results in Unprecedented Media Coverage and Web Traffic for B2B Tech Startup
  • Bronze Award Winner
    Best Campaign Under $50,000
    Nano Dimension: Content-Continuum Strategy Catapults Startup from Stealth to Prominence

The Media Relations Awards is the largest of the five Bulldog Awards programs. The program is judged by award-winning journalists including a Pulitzer Prize winner and this year’s judges come from several well-respected media outlets including The Washington Post, USA Today, Forbes and The Oregonian.

G.fast is now considered inevitable and imminent. Sckipio is considered the leading voice of the industry, and we have achieved a 57.5% share of voice against companies that are 5,000 times larger. No question this campaign has helped us win business.”

And, hey, coming in second to IBM’s Gold Award win for the IBM Watson in 2015 campaign puts us in very respectable company! It’s a testament to the level of competition for the Bulldog Media Relations Awards.

A steady drumbeat of calculated, precise communications initiatives ensured that Nano Dimension established the deepest and broadest possible brand presence. Rainier’s approach to achieve success utilized an aggressive approach to both inbound marketing and outbound PR strategies.

At Rainier, we don’t set out to win awards. We simply do what we know best: focus on providing exceptional technologies with a credible voice in the marketplace. But because we do it well, we win awards for our client campaigns and programs year after year.
