Priority Marketing won a pair of 2025 Gold Angel Awards from the American Advertising Federation, District 4, for the firm’s work on nonprofit and local government campaigns.

AAF’s awards competition recognizes excellent public service advertising across three categories: organization or cause promotion, public health and safety education, and fundraising events and initiatives. Priority Marketing received two of the 30 Gold Angel Awards distributed in 2025 for AAF’s District 4, which includes all of Florida and the Caribbean.

Priority Marketing won a Gold Angel Award in the organization or cause promotion category for its “No Veteran Left Behind” campaign, which supported Warrior Homes of Collier’s quest to end veteran homelessness in Collier County through expanded civic partnerships, focused donor outreach and sustained media engagement. That campaign also won a 2025 Golden Image Award through the Florida Public Relations Association.

Additionally, the firm earned a Gold Angel Award in the public health and safety category for “Gnome Matter What,” Lee County’s Fertilize Smart awareness campaign to protect local waterways, the region’s quality of life and economy. That campaign also was honored with a 2025 Golden Image Award and Judges’ Creativity Award through the Florida Public Relations Association.

“A successful advertising campaign should grab attention and be memorable, but is also must connect and engage with audiences while create a lasting impact,” said Priority Marketing President and Chief Creative Officer Teri Hansen, APR. “No Veteran Left Behind and Gnome Matter What both helped our clients achieve their goals, and that’s the true measure of a successful advertising campaign.”

AAF’s District 4 is a network of professionals that represent all disciplines of advertising at all levels. The organization’s goal is to inspire, inform and educate advertising professionals, mentor advertising students, monitor legislative issues, recognize excellence, promote public service causes and help build the economy. AAF presented Angel Awards during the organization’s fall conference, which was held Nov. 14-16 in Jacksonville.
