Spotlight Your Success: AAPC Awards Season Is On!

As the political awards season heats up, AAPC members are gearing up to celebrate the best in campaign strategy and innovation. With key deadlines approaching—February 3 for the Pollie Contest and February 10 for Campaign Excellence and 40 Under 40 nominations—now is the time to prepare your standout entries!

Pollie Contest winner Ben Nuckles (Nuckels Media Partners) shares his top tip for success: “ Winning an award is about more than just having great ads—you also need to ensure you include background on your campaign strategy along with clear, measurable outcomes that show how you moved the needle.”

For those nominating rising stars and outstanding consultants for the 40 Under 40 or Campaign Excellence Awards, 40 Under 40 Co-Chair Brenda Gianiny (Axis Research, Inc.) emphasizes highlighting tangible achievements and contributions: “It’s important to show your enthusiasm for what you do and how it impacts the campaigns you’ve worked on. Don’t rely on reputation alone—show off what you’ve accomplished!”
