KidsPeace Marketing/Communications Efforts Again Win Industry Awards

SCHNECKSVILLE, PA (June 25, 2025) – KidsPeace announced that its marketing and communications efforts again have received awards in national and regional competitions.

The recognitions include three Gold Awards in the 42nd Annual Healthcare Advertising Awards – for KidsPeace’s 2023 Annual Report, the Conversations with KidsPeace podcast series, and the Fall/Winter 2024 issue of Healing Magazine. Judges in the competition also gave Awards of Merit to the organization’s 2024 end-of-year fundraising direct mail appeal and two video projects – the video version of the 2023 annual report and the “Margie’s Story” segment of the KidsPeace Stories video series. 

The video series also received a Silver Award in the Telly Awards, a national competition for video and television productions, as well as a Silver ADDY Award In the regional American Advertising Awards program sponsored by the Greater Lehigh Valley Ad Club.

The Telly Awards also honored the 2023 annual report video with a Bronze Award.

The projects were created by KidsPeace’s Communications/Creative Services group, which includes director of communications and engagement Robert Martin, manager of creative services Shawn Parker and web/video producer Robbie Allred. Martin noted that since 2020, the group’s efforts have received more than 30 recognitions in national and regional competitions for work in print, video, audio, and web-based media. 

“This is obviously a tribute to the outstanding talents of Shawn and Robbie, but it also reflects the impact of the stories we get to tell about the people and programming here at KidsPeace,” he added. “At KidsPeace, we help make the lives of those in our care better, and it’s an honor for our group to have the opportunity to share those successes with our audiences.”
