Bonnie Heneson Communications (BHC), a full-service marketing communications agency with offices in Owings Mills and Columbia, received an Award of Excellence from the Public Relations Society of America’s Maryland chapter.

The award recognizes BHC’s public information campaign on behalf of Calvert County, Maryland, publicizing the dangers of opiate use in the county. As part of the campaign, BHC created a theme and graphic identity, paid media including billboards, bus cards and movie screens, brochures and posters as well as a press release, fact sheet and social media. The campaign gained widespread attention in Calvert County.

“We combined our decades of experience and skill to fight the opiate epidemic sweeping Maryland and the country. The campaign meant a lot to us and so does the Award of Excellence recognition from the Public Relations Society of America,” said Kyri Jacobs, president of BHC.

The Award of Excellence was announced at the Best in Maryland Awards, which are presented annually to public relations practitioners who, in the judgment of their peers, have successfully addressed a communications challenge with exemplary professional skill, creativity and resourcefulness.
