On Thursday, May 14, the Public Relations Society of America (PRSA) Anvil Awards recognized Brilliant Media Strategies and the UAA: University of Alaska Anchorage for their outstanding recruitment marketing campaign designed to boost enrollment and engagement across Alaska. (It worked - and won a national top award!)

Brilliant CEO Krysten Demientieff was in person at the New York City event to receive the award.

Congratulations to the UAA/Brilliant team members who worked on this project! We love working with great people to get great results.

Making history - and meaningful connections - right here in Anchorage!

Our partner Shareen Crosby, a longtime Rotarian, had the incredible opportunity to meet Rotary trailblazer Dr. Sylvia Whitlock at Anchorage South Rotary today.

In 1987, Dr. Whitlock became the first female president of a Rotary club, leading the Rotary Club of Duarte, California, following a landmark U.S. Supreme Court decision that opened Rotary’s doors to women worldwide. Her journey is a powerful example of persistence, leadership, and creating change that lasts.

Dr. Whitlock’s impact spans the globe - from humanitarian projects in Jamaica and Nigeria to advancing opportunities for women across Rotary. Today, women make up nearly one-third of Rotary’s membership - a legacy she helped build.

At Brilliant Media Strategies, we’re inspired by leaders like Dr. Whitlock who challenge the status quo and create environments for others to lead. And we’re proud to have that same spirit of service and leadership in our own team.

Big talent in our midst!

We’re proud to celebrate our very own Jessi Walker, whose artwork was recently featured in the UAA Juried Art Show at the Kimura Gallery!

Jessi’s creativity doesn’t stop at keeping our office running smoothly - it extends into stunning visual storytelling that earned a spot in this competitive exhibition. We love seeing the passion and perspective that our team brings both inside and outside the agency.

Join us in congratulating Jessi on this incredible achievement 👏
