A Selection
I feel compelled to note that the three articles are for the only projects that I ever produced a press release for and the two awards are for the only two things I have ever personally entered.
I’m certain there have been other press and other awards (Reggies, PROMO!s, Effies, etc.) via the submissions of various agencies, to which I am entitled to claim some ownership, but I genuinely don’t remember what they are.
