GAVIN is proud to announce two recognitions at the 2026 PRSA Anvil Awards – one of the communications industry’s most prestigious national honors.
This year, GAVIN received a Bronze Anvil for GAVIN Fi and an Award of Excellence for its work with Children’s Home of York, recognizing strategic communications campaigns that delivered meaningful impact for clients and communities alike.
The PRSA Anvil Awards celebrate outstanding public relations campaigns, content, and communications initiatives from agencies and organizations across the country. For GAVIN, these recognitions reflect not only strong campaign outcomes, but also the deep client trust and collaborative spirit that make transformative storytelling possible.
“These wins are a testament to what happens when great clients trust you with their story and a talented team shows up fully committed to telling it,” said Jay Scott, Vice President of PR. “When you do work rooted in strategy and genuine collaboration, the results speak for themselves.”
The award-winning work spanned distinct industries and audiences, underscoring GAVIN’s integrated approach to communications strategy – from media relations and digital engagement to community connection and purposeful narrative-building.
The GAVIN Fi recognition highlighted the agency’s growing leadership in financial communications – a practice area built on the same principles of clarity, trust, and strategic intention that define all of GAVIN’s client work.
“GAVIN Fi was built on a belief that financial communications could be done differently – with human voices, firsthand insights, and more clarity,” said Marcos Ortega, PR Manager. “We’re thankful for the support we’ve received from the clients and subject matter experts who have helped us bring powerful content to our subscribers’ inboxes.”

GAVIN’s work with Children’s Home of York elevated awareness of the organization’s mission and community impact, amplifying a story that deserved a larger audience.
“Children’s Home of York provides critical care and support to some of Pennsylvania’s most vulnerable children and families every day,” said Katie Mauldin, Client Services Account Manager. “Helping elevate that work through strategic storytelling and communications that build trust, strengthen community awareness and drive measurable impact has been incredibly meaningful for our team.”
“Increasing awareness of CHOY’s mental health care, foster and adoption programs, and preventative services creates greater opportunities for children and families to access care and resources, and we feel honored to play a part in strengthening support for those who need it most,” said Jennifer Kendall, Media Relations Director.
As GAVIN continues to expand its capabilities across industries and markets, the agency remains focused on what has always mattered most: helping organizations connect with their audiences in ways that are authentic, strategic, and built to last.
