Signal Theory was recognized for its work in the agricultural and animal health industries with 18 “Best of NAMA” regional awards in Region II and IV. This awards program, hosted by the National Agri-Marketing Association (NAMA), recognizes excellence in agricultural communications’ work each year in regional judging with the first and merit awards able to advance to the national stage for consideration.
Among Signal Theory’s awards were two “Best of Show” awards – one for agricultural advertising with John Deere’s “A Different Kind Of Crown” campaign and the second for specialty audiences with Elanco Animal Health’s Galliprant® “Inflammation Awareness Month” campaign.
