REQ Wins Two 2025 Communicator Awards of Distinction For Vantage Data Centers and Atlas Air Social Media Management

Earlier this month, the REQ PR team took home two 2025 Communicator Awards of Distinction for social media excellence on behalf of its work with Vantage Data Centers and Atlas Air. Presented by the Academy of Interactive & Visual Arts (AIVA), the Communicator Awards honor exceptional achievement in all facets of communication. This year’s competition drew more than 3,000 entries from agencies and creative professionals around the globe.

REQ’s pursuit of these awards was inspired by the consistent positive feedback and support we’ve received from our clients, who appreciate the strategic thinking, creativity, and measurable results behind our campaigns. 

For Atlas Air, REQ was recognized for its Halloween creative social post, in which the team transformed high-resolution photos of the Atlas fleet into festive, Halloween-themed aircraft. The post combined UGC content from Atlas’ enthusiastic community of plane spotters with REQ’s talented graphic design team to create a fun, engaging visual for the holiday. The post received significant engagement because it leveraged community-sourced content, highlighting the brand’s ability to resonate with a large percentage of its target audience. 

“REQ has been a true strategic partner in helping us elevate our brand through creative, timely, and well-executed social media campaigns,” said Diana Saglimbeni, Senior Marketing Manager at Atlas Air. “From major partnership announcements to driving day-to-day engagement, Katie Brevoort, Casey Dell’Isola, Era Atre, and Madison Linn understand how to bring our story to life in a way that reflects our values and reaches our global audience effectively. We’re proud to see this work recognized by the Communicator Awards.”

REQ’s Vantage Data Centers team—led by Robin Bectel, Samantha Steinman, and Madison Linn—was also honored for its long-standing social media strategy and execution. Managing the company’s corporate social media channels since late 2018, the REQ team has grown Vantage’s LinkedIn following more than 7.500% over 6.5 years from 1,655 to 127,000, consistently adding tens of thousands of new followers in key target markets each year.

Posting an average of four times per week, the team curates and produces content that provides a 360-degree view of the brand, from press release amplification and industry milestones to culture stories, community engagement, and open roles—positioning Vantage Data Centers as a leader not only in digital infrastructure but in brand storytelling as well.

“REQ has been an invaluable partner in helping us elevate the Vantage brand through thoughtful, strategic storytelling,” said Mark Freeman, Vice President of Global Marketing at Vantage Data Centers. “Their understanding of our industry, paired with their ability to craft compelling content that resonates across our global markets, has made a significant impact on our growth and engagement. We’re pleased to see the team’s hard work honored on such a respected stage.”

As REQ continues to grow its social media and digital communications offerings, these awards reaffirm the impact of our client-first approach and commitment to creative excellence. We are honored to share these recognitions with our partners at Vantage Data Centers and Atlas Air, and we look forward to building on this momentum with future campaigns that inform, inspire, and connect.
