Carey wins a 'Best in Maryland' award

Duane Carey of IMPACT Marketing and Public Relations has received a "Best in Maryland" award from the Public Relations Society of America.

IMPACT won in the "Advertorial" category for Carey's work on behalf of the Melting Pot restaurant in Annapolis. The winning advertorial was titled, "Four Reasons the Melting Pot is a Bride's Best Friend." The ghost-written piece, which ran in the wedding guide of February's issue of Taste of the Bay magazine, produced a large return on investment. The restaurant continues to book large bridal parties, rehearsal dinners and showers each weekend as a result of the ad.
