We’re excited to share that our Data Communications Team recently received a Platinum Hermes Creative Award, an award that honors excellence in creative communications, for our 2023 Forces of Change Survey report. We’re proud that our work didn’t just look good; it helped audiences understand better, decide faster, and act smarter. In a time of information overload, we appreciate being recognized as a source of trusted, accessible information about local public health. Our winning project brought together compelling data visualizations and modern design to decode complexity into clarity, shift uncertainty into trust, and translate research into action.
The team also received Gold in three other categories:
- Strategic Campaigns for their data communications strategy for promoting research findings, 8
- Social Media for the content on their NACCHO Research LinkedIn page, and
- Infographics for their “The State of Local Public Health Family Healthy Weight Programs” infographic.
Hermes Creative Awards honors the messengers and creators of the information revolution. Each year, a professional peer panel judges the creative industry’s best publications, branding collateral, websites, and communication campaigns. In 2025, only 14% of entries received Platinum and 16% received Gold.
We’re grateful to our collaborators for trusting us to help engage their communities through visual storytelling. To us, this award reinforces what we’ve always known—when creativity and public health come together, the results are powerful! Looking forward, we’re excited to keep creating work that gets the right data to the right people in the right way.
