Leach Advisors is thrilled to announce it has won a Platinum Hermes Creative Award for an Economic Impact Report commissioned by its client North Carolina’s Electric Cooperatives (NCEC). The 8-page, fold-out report earned this top honor in the category of Print Media/Annual Report for its streamlined content, interactive structure and brand-centric design. Hermes Platinum Awards are received by only 17% of 6,500 international entries across several print and digital media categories.
In January 2024, Leach Advisors was selected by NCEC to collaborate with its Economic Development and Marketing & Communications teams on research, content strategy and creative design to produce the Report.
NCEC is the Raleigh-based wholesale power provider to and trade association for the state’s network of 26 electric distribution cooperatives, which collectively power the lives of 2.5 million North Carolinians in 93 of the state’s 100 counties. In addition to the people they serve, North Carolina’s electric cooperatives are a driving force for economic development in the state’s rural communities, investing in those communities through loans and grants and supporting businesses seeking to start, expand or relocate to electric cooperative-served areas.
The Hermes Creative Awards are administered and judged by the Association of Marketing and Communication Professionals (AMCP), one of the largest, oldest, and most respected evaluators of creative work in the marketing and communication industry.
