FTS wins Seven 2021 Pollie Awards

04 . 30 . 21

Columbia, S.C. – First Tuesday Strategies, South Carolina’s most-awarded political and public affairs firm, has won seven (7) 2021 Pollie Awards for projects undertaken in 2020. Pollies are the premier awards in the political advertising industry. In the 2020 election cycle, over 400 firms submitted a record-breaking 2,700+ entries across 10 mediums, including television, digital, direct mail/print, radio and phones. Despite the large number of entries from this historic cycle, given AAPC’s stringent standards for trophy eligibility, only 6% of entries earned Pollie Gold, the industry’s top honor.

“Last year was among the most challenging in our personal and professional lives, but our team went above and beyond to produce award-winning ideas. Most importantly, our clients won huge election victories against well-funded opponents. I’m extremely proud of our team and clients,” said Matt Moore, managing partner at First Tuesday Strategies.
