So proud that Banished Rascals is a part of the BZD design team.
We are thrilled to announce that Bergmann Zwerdling Direct won 13 Pollie Awards for our work in 2022! Our team is proud to earn the industry’s highest honor from the American Association of Political Consultants (AAPC), the largest association of political and public affairs professionals in the world.
Among our exciting wins, BZD brought home the top prize – Gold for best Democratic direct mail campaign – for our work sending Vicente Gonzalez back to Congress while ousting MAGA extremist Mayra Flores in TX-34. We were also honored to win Gold Pollie Awards for best mail piece for a Democratic congressional campaign (Congressman Josh Harder, CA-09) and for best GOTV mail piece (SEIU Pennsylvania). This year also continues our streak of winning more direct mail awards than any other firm, Democrat or Republican.
Additionally, we earned more regional awards than any other firm, regardless of medium, including:
Best mail piece for any Democratic state legislative candidate campaign, South: Florida Senator Shevrin Jones
Best mail piece for any local Democratic candidate campaign with a budget less than $1 million, North: Saratoga Springs Public Works Commissioner Jason Golub
Best mail piece for any independent expenditure campaign for any Democratic state legislative candidate campaign, West: SEIU California
Best mail piece made for any independent expenditure campaign for any local candidate campaign with a budget greater than $1 million, West: Communities United (Karen Bass for LA Mayor IE)
