posted on 11/4/26

Optimae LifeServices is honored to announce it is the recipient of two MarCom Awards from the Association of Marketing and Communication Professionals (AMCP).

The awards include a gold award and an honorable mention award, earned for storytelling that shares the lived experience of Optimae Rehabilitation Services director Ashley Adams with postpartum depression:

  • Gold MarCom Award, Writing (Brand Journalism): Beyond the Blues: Finding Help Through Postpartum Depression (Ashley Adams) — written by Kent Davis, marketing communications director
  • Honorable Mention MarCom Award, Web Video (Medical): Optimae Stories | Ashley Adams — filmed and edited by Mitchell Miner, marketing communications coordinator

“Stories are powerful — they serve to educate, encourage and inspire,” said Kent Davis, marketing communications director at Optimae. “Recognition by AMCP validates the powerful marketing pieces that they are as well.”

MarCom Awards recognizes outstanding achievement by creative professionals involved in the concept, direction, design and production of marketing and communication materials and programs. Judges are industry professionals who look for companies and individuals whose talent exceeds a high standard of excellence and whose work serves as a benchmark for the industry.

Winners are selected from over 300 categories in Print, Web, Video and Strategic Communications. A list of Platinum and Gold Winners can be found on the MarCom Awards website at www.marcomawards.com.
