Northern Virginia Firm Recognized for Continued Creative Excellence
Vizual, Inc., an integrated creative services firm, was awarded eight 2016 Hermes Creative Awards that honor excellence in marketing, design, and communications. Included in the winning projects are two platinum winners, three gold winners and three honorable mentions. The receipt of a platinum or gold award is an incredible achievement that is symbolized by a stunning statuette of Hermes, the ancient Greek Messenger.
The annual Hermes Creative Awards is administered and judged by the Association of Marketing and Communication Professionals. The international organization consists of several thousand marketing, communication, advertising, public relations, media production, web, and freelance professionals. The Association oversees awards and recognition programs, provides judges, and sets standards for excellence.

We thank our clients for allowing us the opportunity to work with them and we congratulate all of them as well on this achievement.”
