| 2020 PRNEWS Platinum PR Award |
| We are proud to announce that MMGY NJF won the PRNews Platinum PR Award in the Travel/Hospitality/Tourism category for work on Oceania Cruises. The team, led by Lauren Kaufman and Alyssa Almeida with support from Shelby Wallace and others, accomplished an incredible feat, securing 21 top-tier media voyages in 120 days. The campaign was beyond successful and results continued to appear in the news cycle for nearly a year, with 30 features placed in every single target outlet and then some. Coverage included multiple-page print and online spreads in Departures, Travel + Leisure, Condé Nast Traveler and Food & Wine, plus comprehensive reviews in Elle Decor, Architectural Digest, Forbes and more. Full details of the award and campaign can be seen here. |
