Antarra Communications, a fast-growing international public relations and marketing communications agency, has been awarded a 2005 Platinum PR Award for public affairs for client AccuPoll, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: ACUP).
“The reason for the campaigns success was the synergy we had with Frank Wiebe, COO and Geoff Mordock, then head of corporate communications, and the AccuPoll executive staff. The strong relationship allowed Antarra to effectively educate the public and government officials about the advantages of Direct Recording Electronic (DRE) voting systems with a paper audit trail,” commented Carol Warren, President of Antarra Communications.
"We are pleased to have an agency with Antarra's energy and knowledge," said Frank Wiebe, COO for AccuPoll. "Antarra's efforts enhanced our government and public VVPAT education nationwide via broadcast and print exposure."
