Coyne Public Relations today announces that it has won a prestigious PRSA Silver Anvil award for its work with The PEEPS® Brand.
The Silver Anvil Awards recognize outstanding strategic public relations programs and organizations that have successfully addressed contemporary issues with exemplary professional skill, creativity, and resourcefulness.
Awarded the Silver Anvil in the Consumer Product category, The PEEPS® Brand was recognized for its “PEEPS® Makes a Triumphant Return to Shelves for Easter” campaign. PEEPS® were noticeably missing from stores since spring 2020 as the brand shut down the factory to prioritize employee safety. With many 2020 holiday traditions uprooted, PEEPS® wanted to make Easter 2021 one to remember with the biggest comeback of all time. Coyne PR helped develop a multi-faceted campaign to announce the brand’s return and leveraged social media, traditional media and influencers to sustain momentum and excitement ahead of Easter. New product announcements and unique partnerships like PEPSIxPEEPS® made it hard to miss this sweet comeback, hitting every major news outlet, and saturating news cycles from January through April.
“In 2020 millions of PEEPS fans were forced to endure the absence of their favorite candy. We knew PEEPS needed to come back in a big way!” said Rich Lukis, President. “We’re glad to have been a part of the return of this beloved American Icon. We always go the extra mile for our clients, but these awards serve as a prestigious honor which will continue to encourage excellence in our agency.”
The 2022 Anvil Awards Ceremony was held on May 19 at the Edison Ballroom in New York City. For more information, please visit the PRSA Silver Anvil site.
