Paulsen Earns 21 Awards at Regional Best of NAMA
Nine different client campaigns highlighted for excellence

Paulsen earned one best-of-show award and 11 first-place honors as part of 21 total awards for the agency in this year’s Region 3 Best of NAMA competition from the National Agri-Marketing Association.
The Best of NAMA awards honor the best work in agricultural communications.
“We’ve got talented people at Paulsen who put in the work to understand our clients and their audiences,” said Paulsen President & CEO Marcus Squier. “We’re also lucky to work with clients who are true partners in the process. Together, that produces some amazing results.”
Paulsen’s awards span nine client campaigns from 2022. All 21 awards will move on to the National Best of NAMA judging, which will be announced in April.
Paulsen Chief Technology Officer Sara Steever said Paulsen’s work in 2023 demonstrated how complex the marketing landscape has become.
“We did everything from traditional tactics such as billboard and print ads to apps and digital animations. We can deliver the right message to the right audience like never before,” she said. “New tools and platforms are emerging all the time, and matching the right opportunity with the right client is part of the value an agency provides today.”
