American Association of Political Consultants recognizes BullsEye Public Affairs
BullsEye Public Affairs won four coveted Pollie Awards last week from the American Association of Political Consultants (AAPC). Hailed as “the Oscars of political advertising,” the Pollie Awards are the industry’s highest honor bestowed upon political consultants at the national and international level. BullsEye was recognized for its exemplary work during the 2021 political season for ballot initiative campaigns in Direct Mail and Radio divisions.
BullsEye Public Affairs is a sister company of Capitol Resources, LLC, with a focus on helping political campaigns win and organizations effectively tell their stories and run successful, sophisticated, modern public affairs campaigns.
“Wow! We won four Pollie’s for a campaign about water and sewer,” said Henry Barbour. “Once we came up with the brand ‘Flush the Referendum,’ the copy wrote itself. Working with this client was a blast. We have a talented and dedicated team. It’s great to win awards, but the real pleasure comes from helping our clients win.”
“We also want to recognize our friend Sergio Fernandez for his role in our radio ad ‘Squander’ that won two Pollies,” added Barbour. “Sergio was a much beloved institution in Jackson. It was always a treat to go to his studio. He was our voice talent and producer on this award-winning spot and so many other terrific spots. Sadly, he lost his battle with cancer last fall. We all loved Sergio, miss him dearly, and want to recognize him as the extraordinary person he was.”
