“Our Changemakers Awards are a celebration of all that is right in our surrounding communities, and this program helps us find those hidden gems and spotlight the incredible things being done by many,” SCFCU President and CEO Jed Meyer said. “We have had the honor of recognizing hundreds of people through this program, and what means the most to us is that we are able to give back to our neighbors like they have given back to others in such an impactful way.”
The award-winning campaign was in partnership with Perk at Play Productions and its owner/content director Eric Perkins. The Award of Distinction is presented to projects or campaigns that exceed industry standards in quality and achievement.
“Telling the stories of people doing inspiring things throughout the community is a true privilege,” Perkins said. “St. Cloud Financial Credit Union gives back to the communities they serve in so many ways, and it’s an honor to play a part in that.”
The Communicator Awards are open for all companies, agencies, organizations and individuals involved in producing marketing, communications and creative projects for any audience. This year, thousands of entries were received from ad agencies, digital agencies, production firms, in-house creative & communications professionals, graphic designers, design firms, and public relations firms across the nation and around the globe.
“Receiving this recognition reinforces the heart behind our work. We’re not just telling stories, we’re sharing the real impact people are making throughout our communities,” SCFCU Marketing Manager Mitchell Hansen said. “This program and these stories we are able to tell shine a light on those who are doing so much good every single day, and we are honored to be a part of something so deeply meaningful. A special thank you to Eric Perkins and Perk at Play Productions for our partnership in helping bring these stories to life.”
