Testimonials from 2011 Winners
“For Argyle Communications, entering and winning Gold Quill Awards reflects both our work and our values. It shows not only that we do excellent work, but also that we believe in raising standards, sharing knowledge, operating with ethics and demonstrating the results of our work to our clients and our peers. It was particularly exciting to win the Jake Wittmer Award for research-based communications in both 2009 and 2011 – two highlights in our firm’s long history.”

Winner: 2011 Gold Quill Award of Excellence
"Being recognized with a Gold Quill Award of Excellence from the IABC was both a thrill and an honour, and I was pleased to accept the award on behalf of my team at MTS Allstream. When we launched Idea Factory – an internal social media site where employees can share ideas about how to make the company better and volunteer to be part of the solution – we knew we had a winning idea; but to be acknowledged among the best of the best by peers in your industry is truly a remarkable experience."
