Public Relations Society of America (PRSA), the nation’s leading professional organization serving the communications community, held a virtual Silver Anvil Ceremony, where communications professionals throughout the industry were recognized with 67 Silver Anvil Awards. Padilla and FoodMinds – its division focused on food and nutrition affairs, consulting and communications – won a Silver Anvil award for its work with the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association, a contractor to the Beef Checkoff.
The campaign – An Immersive Virtual Experience on Beef’s Role in Early Childhood Nutrition – took top honors in the Event and Observances > 7 or Fewer Days > Associations category.
- For the first time, the 2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGA) provide guidance for infants and toddlers from birth to 24 months of age. A growing body of science illustrates the beneficial role of beef’s nutrients for physical and cognitive development in the early years. The Eating in the Early Years E-Vent was an immersive virtual experience that gathered researchers and health professionals to review and discuss the current state of the science surrounding nutrition recommendations for this age group, unpack what and how to feed infants and toddlers, and determine ways to inspire behavior change to improve nutrition outcomes.
The Silver Anvil Award, symbolizing the forging of public opinion, recognizes the best public relations campaigns of the year and the highest standards of performance for the profession. View the complete list of the 2021 Silver Anvil results at PRSA.org.
