The Zoldak Agency is the proud recipient of four 2018 Pollie Awards, including second prize in the Overall Best in Show category that pits all entries against each regardless of medium. Our trophies:

2018 AAPC Silver Pollie Award Winner – Overall Best in Show in Public Affairs Division

2018 AAPC Bronze Pollie Award Winner – Best Use of Internet Radio in Public Affairs Division

As our second year as an agency, we are ecstatic to be recognized with such honor by a jury of our peers. This follows our 2017 Gold Pollie Award for Best Digital and Internet Campaign in Public Affairs Division, which we won in our very first year in business.

The Pollie Awards are one of the most sought-after awards in the political communications and public affairs industries. Awarded by the American Association of Political Consultants and dubbed by Esquire as the “Oscars” of the political campaign world, winning a Pollie is always one of the pinnacles of our agency year.

We thank all of our clients and partners who helped make these campaign wins possible.

A full list of 2018 winners, awarded in Nashville, Tennessee on April 13, 2018, can be seen here.

We congratulate our client, the Beacon Center of Tennessee, on being named a finalist for the Templeton Freedom Award, which will be awarded on November 8th.

We are thankful to have been a part of the “End the Hall Tax” effort by leading the digital and social media advertising campaign, which was noted for being, “…one of the most sophisticated digital advertising projects in the liberty movement to date.”

“Beacon Center scored a major victory with the repeal of the Hall Tax in the wake of its compelling research and communication campaign,” said Atlas Network CEO Brad Lips. “This is the model of effective public engagement that should be studied by others who want to rein in tax-and-spend governments.”

Awarded since 2004, the Templeton Freedom Award is named for the late investor and philanthropist Sir John Templeton. The award annually honors his legacy by identifying and recognizing the most exceptional and innovative contributions to the understanding of free enterprise, and the public policies that encourage prosperity, innovation, and human fulfillment via free competition. The award is generously supported by Templeton Religion Trust and will be presented during Atlas Network’s Freedom Dinner on Nov. 8 in New York City at the historic Capitale. The winning organization will receive a $100,000 prize, and five additional finalists will receive $25,000 prizes.
