We are proud to announce that the REQ team took home three Communicator Awards at the 32nd Annual Communicator Awards, one of the world’s largest and most competitive programs honoring excellence in marketing, communications, and creative work.

This recognition adds to REQ’s growing track record of award-winning campaigns, reflecting an approach that blends storytelling, media strategy, and analytics to deliver measurable impact. This work is representative of the results showcased across REQ’s award-winning client portfolio, where campaigns are designed to connect strategy with performance.

Recognizing Excellence in Global Communications

Now in its 32nd year, the Communicator Awards celebrates innovation and compelling storytelling across a wide range of industries. The program receives thousands of entries annually and is judged by the Academy of Interactive & Visual Arts, an invitation-only body of more than 1,100 leaders from top brands and agencies.

This year, REQ earned one Award of Excellence, the program’s highest honor, and two Awards of Distinction, recognizing campaigns that exceed industry standards and deliver meaningful audience engagement.

Celebrating Our 2026 Communicator Award Winners

We’re thrilled to recognize the teams and clients behind this award-winning work:

Day of AI — Award of Excellence
Team: Robin Bectel, Eileen Belden

CivicPlus — Award of Distinction
Team: Casey Dell’Isola, Isabel Begelman, Alexis Faison

Wolters Kluwer — Award of Distinction
Team: Robin Bectel, Peter Larmey

Each campaign reflects a strategic approach to storytelling that connects with audiences and drives results.

REQ partnered with Day of AI to  transform a mission around AI literacy into a national conversation. In just 30 days, our team launched a coordinated podcast campaign reaching educators, school leaders, and parents, supported by ongoing top-tier coverage and thought leadership placements in leading education publications. These efforts drove visibility and momentum ahead of the America’s Youth AI Festival at MIT while positioning AI education as urgent and accessible.

For CivicPlus, REQ executed a multi-channel thought leadership program focused on key verticals including web accessibility and resident engagement. Through a 12-part blog series, podcast outreach, research promotion, and customer storytelling, the campaign elevated CivicPlus’ voice while showcasing real-world impact across communities.

Alongside the Wolters Kluwer ELM Solutions team, REQ led a data-driven thought leadership campaign that translated complex legal insights into compelling, industry-relevant narratives. By tailoring content to key audiences and amplifying it through strategic channels, the campaign strengthened brand authority and drove engagement across the legal technology space.

A Win for Our Clients and Teams

The Communicator Awards receive entries from agencies and organizations around the globe, making this recognition especially meaningful. These wins reflect the strength of REQ’s client partnerships and the expertise of the teams behind each campaign, building on momentum seen across the company’s latest news and updates.

Congratulations to our teams and clients on this well-deserved achievement.
