Brandmint’s 2026 Pinnacle Awards
1. Print Advertising (For Profit)
Highly Targeted Brand Awareness | Trade Design Build
We were tasked with elevating Trade Design Builds presence through strategically placed print advertising in trusted local publications, including the Ithaca Voice, Ithaca Times, and Tompkins Weekly. By maintaining a consistent presence in media aligned with Trade’s affluent, design-conscious audience, the campaign reinforced the company’s high-end positioning and increased brand awareness across the Ithaca and Tompkins County market.
The long-term strategy successfully built familiarity and credibility with prospective clients, culminating in recognition from the AMA Rochester Pinnacle Awards for excellence in print advertising.
2. Blog (For Profit)
Realistic Nurse Interview Questions & Answers | On Board Virginia
On Board Virginia is a statewide initiative dedicated to strengthening Virginia’s healthcare workforce by connecting individuals with resources to pursue healthcare careers. We developed an SEO-driven blog for On Board Virginia focused on nurse interview preparation—an area of high search demand among new graduates entering the workforce. By combining practical guidance with regional career opportunities, the content positioned Virginia as an ideal place to begin a healthcare career while supporting On Board Virginia’s workforce recruitment mission.
The evergreen resource has become one of On Board Virginia’s top-performing pieces of content, generating more than 18,000 users, 20,000 sessions, and 21,000 page views, while consistently serving as a leading entry point for new visitors and driving sustained awareness of healthcare careers across the Commonwealth.
3. Brand Launch/Refresh (For Profit)
A Brand Built for Growth | FSI Construction | Real Estate
Brandmint partnered with FSI Construction & Real Estate to modernize its brand identity and unify its construction and real estate offerings under a single, cohesive brand. By consolidating two existing brands and refining the historic Family Crest for modern applications, the refreshed identity honored FSI’s heritage while positioning the company for future growth.
The rebrand sparked a renewed sense of pride and alignment across the organization, with leadership reporting increased morale and a stronger shared vision. Positive feedback from clients and vendors further validated the new identity, reinforcing FSI’s market position and laying the foundation for long-term cultural and business growth.
