MAYO Wins Five Awards among stiff competition and 300+ Entries

Los Angeles, CA — MAYO Communications won five awards last night
(Thursday, November 6, 2003) at the Public Relations Society of America (PRSA-LA) Los Angeles Chapter Annual Awards Gala in Beverly Hills, CA.

MAYO Communications was the only agency that earned two PRisms for the category of “Media Placement - Print,” for two separate media campaigns. The first, “10-Day Walkout,” which revealed a $5 billion dollar national and statewide economic impact of the Long Beach (LB) and Los Angeles (LA) Ports dockworkers labor dispute. MAYO’s staff timed an 18-month study results by its client Orange North-American Trade Access Authority Rail Corridor (OnTrac) to be released during the intense labor struggle that was reported on in nearly every major newspaper in the country and other media outlets.

The Second PRism winning entry: “First Economic Warcast,” which was an economic forecast study about to be released weeks before the Iraq War. MAYO Communications coined the phrase “Warcast,” and pitched it as the first economic forecast with war impact scenario authored by client and Chief Economist Jack Kyser, Los Angeles County Economic Development Corporation (LAEDC). MTA’s CEO Roger Snoble was the host for the event held in its boardroom. MAYO also received a PRism award for media placement following a May 19th campaign “Made In China #1- LAEDC Trade Trends,” which revealed that China is now America’s number one trading partner. The study and announcements also included economic impacts of terrorism on the nation’s freight system and the economic impact of the “SARS Scare.”

Additionally, MAYO Communications received two “Awards of Excellence.” One, for “Media/Press Kits – Print,” which were used at a news conference at railroad tracks at Union Station, during a news conference on International Trade Trends that included a bright orange, Burlington Northern Sante Fe Railway and METROLINK Engines as a backdrop.

The second “Award of Excellence” was for the category of “Government-Public Affairs,” the “!0-Day Lockout” of the dockworkers in the LA/LB ports labor dispute.

“MAYO Communications is no stranger to the media,” said President Aida Mayo, MAYO Communications. “The national and local media rely on us for contacts, interviews and resources for high profile and breaking news. Our niche: ‘We don’t guarantee media, we just get it.’”
