US Virgin Islands Hotel & Tourism Association

MLB Creative, a USVI advertising agency and collaborative studio specializing in advertising, branding and digital design, has been named the winner of a Bronze Stevie Award in the Marketing/Advertising Agency of the Year category in the 2016 American Business Awards. Honoring organizations of all types and sizes and the people behind them, the Stevies recognize outstanding performances in the workplace worldwide.

“This award feels great. It is proof that a company started in the Virgin Islands can be recognized nationwide. Just takes vision, passion and more than a few late nights to get the job done. We have to give kudos to our clients, here and in the states, for being open to new approaches to building successful brands,” said Terri Brown, chief executive officer of MLB Creative.

More than 250 professionals worldwide participated in the judging process to select this year’s Stevie Award winners. During more than two months of judging and out of 3,400 nominations, MLB Creative was determined a winner due to the high scores they received for creative output, performance results, and design work. Campaigns for MLB Creative clients Choice Wireless, Frenchtown Brewing Company, Wildly Different, Canine Companions for Independence, and Standard Pacific Homes stood out to the judges.

“The judges were extremely impressed with the quality of entries we received this year,” said Michael Gallagher, president and founder of the Stevie Awards. “The competition was intense and every organization that won should be proud.”
