Concluding a year of dynamic growth, technology public relations and integrated marketing firm Alloy announces that it has secured five awards for client results, two for executive leadership, and received designation as national Small Agency of Year – a remarkable feat for a PR firm that was founded just two years ago.

Small Agency of the Year
PR industry organization, Bulldog Reporter’s Stars of PR Awards for Outstanding Achievement by Communications Agencies were judged exclusively by a team of working journalists, who assessed agencies on the basis of industry leadership, business acumen, creativity, command of media and technology, and credit to PR and corporate communications.

I am pleased to see that their quality work in the tech community is being recognized by awards,” said Sig Mosley, managing partner of Mosley Ventures and widely regarded as “The Godfather of Angel Investing.”
“Our industry accolades are attributed to one factor, and one factor alone – our team. Our first employees came to work for Alloy not because we had a fancy office space or fat pension plans – they came here because they recognized a special opportunity in the marketplace and had a strong desire to use their skill set to help innovators #makenews,” said Anna Ruth Williams, founder and CEO of Alloy. “Together, this team – or ‘Uncommon Crew’ as well call ourselves – is many things, but above all, it’s nimble, patient, tenacious and dedicated. Each day we land media placements, grow social media followings and generate dynamic content that all drives industry leadership and sales for our clients. We’re honored to see these results recognized by industry organizations and look forward to growing our award-winning reputation in 2015.”
