May 10, 2010 – The Publicity Club of Chicago (PCC), the nation’s largest independent public relations membership organization, has awarded Resolute Consulting with one gold and three silver Trumpet Awards.

The PCC Golden Trumpet Awards annually recognize excellence in planning, creativity and execution in 22 categories from among hundreds of programs submitted from across the Midwest.

“We are continually striving to exceed the expectations of our clients by delivering creative results with the impact our clients seek,” said Greg Goldner, president of Resolute Consulting.  “To have our work recognized by our peers for its excellence is truly a tremendous honor.”

One of the Trumpet Awards was presented to Resolute in the Community Relations category for an outreach program developed and implemented for the Chicago Transit Authority’s (CTA) Circle Line Alternatives Analysis Study.  The outreach program provided the general public, elected officials, public officials and stakeholders the opportunity to learn about the Circle Line Alternatives Analysis Study and voice ideas and opinions about the need for transit improvements in the study area and the surrounding region.

 “When it comes to creating and implementing a public outreach and involvement campaign, Resolute is the best in the business,” said Jim Czarnecky, senior project manager for AECOM, who partnered with Resolute on the CTA project.

 In addition to the silver trumpet awarded for the CTA effort, Resolute was awarded a gold trumpet in the Community Relations category, and received additional silver awards in the Institutional and Issues Management categories.

 “Receiving awards such as the Golden Trumpets validates the expertise and energy of the team of professionals we have in place,” said David Smolensky, Resolute’s chief operating officer.  “The drive for excellence is what motivates us on a daily basis, so to be recognized by the Publicity Club this year with four awards is quite rewarding.”
