We’ve had some good news to start the new year: MCG has been named a finalist for PRWeek’s 2010 Boutique Agency of the Year. PRWeek is one of our industry’s most widely read and well respected publications, and it’s an honor we are delighted to have.

While we’ve enjoyed our share of accolades in the past, this one allows us to compete on a national stage with some of our industry’s most successful agencies.  We wouldn’t have it any other way.

Too often, organizations will only measure success against their own plan.  Relative performance – measurement against your peers — is far more rigorous than absolute performance.  Putting yourself out there against the best and brightest is exactly how you get better, which is always our goal.

As we attend the awards ceremony in New York City in March, we’ll do so with gratitude for the partnership our clients have with us, with pride in the work our employees do every day, and with confidence in the future that lies ahead for all of us — our clients, our friends and our industry.
