Vested Earns Top Spot in PR News Agency Elite Awards for Financial Communications

11/7/16

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Accelerating momentum from key client wins and new hires, Vested (www.fullyvested.com), a new communications agency for a new financial industry, published a blog post announcing it earned the top spot in the PR News Agency Elite Awards for Financial Communications, which was recently announced at a private luncheon in New York, NY.

The award recognizes top-tier agency work that sets new benchmarks of excellence in the public relations field. Judges, comprised of a blue-chip panel of corporate practitioners, agency executives, academics, and the staff of PR News, evaluated each entry based on its creativity, innovation, sound planning, implementation, and outcomes. The most important criterion was proven success in aligning strategic objectives with goals, according to a statement on the PR News website.

“At Vested, we do not separate earned, owned, shared, and paid media and this creative license allows our people to extract the most possible value from today’s integrated, complex media - which is the essence of our job. The campaign exemplifies what can be accomplished with a multidisciplinary approach to communication and we are honored to be recognized by PR News,” Vested President Binna Kim stated in the blog post.

“For us at PR News, and for our community, the Agency Elite Awards serve annually as a celebration of the year’s top PR teams and firms and as an ideal showcase for their most successful campaigns,” said Steve Goldstein, editorial director of PR News. “There were so many terrific entries this year, and once again we were reminded that creativity and inspiration rule in communications.”

Vested has grown significantly since its founding last year. It has added key members to its team, including Courtney Chennells as senior account manager, Hod Klein as vice president, Milton Ezrati as chief economist, Jacqueline Gogel as vice president, and Maggie Monaghan as account executive. It has methodically earned the trust of new clients throughout the financial services industry. To accommodate this growth, Vested recently moved into a modern, open-plan office at 12 E. 33rd Street in midtown Manhattan.
