2007 Virginia Museum of Fine Arts Muse Awards
PUNCH is proud to be named a winner of the 2007 Virginia Museum of Fine Arts Muse awards. This annual prize is awarded to companies who inject a little creative flair into the work environment. Honorees represent a variety of business arenas, including: restaurants, energy companies, child-care businesses, and personnel firms.
The “Un-Gala” was held at the Museum on May 3. Managing Partners, Kelly Adams and Charlie Connell, along with designer Sarah Shannon and copy editor Heidi Gould attended the fete. With a tip of the hat to Jamestown and the Queen, who was in town that night, the theme was “Rule Britannia.” All the attendees were given Jamestown-era attire: ruffled collars for the women, and for the men, collars and hats.
Kelly Adams, Managing Partner at PUNCH says, “We understand, perhaps better than most, how important it is to have an environment that is conducive to creativity. It seems like we have a lot of fun and that there is a party atmosphere in the office, but being creative for a living requires a generous serving of energy and we need to keep our designers well-nourished. These practices have carried over into how we run the business and the results are clearly being noticed.”
Charlie Connell, PUNCH’s other Managing Partner, says, “Our team enjoys the creative freedom that is afforded when working on in-house PUNCH projects. The work that results from these projects, such as a new PUNCH t-shirt or a poster announcing a PUNCH tennis tournament, is innovative and fun to do. The experimentation and critiques that take place during this process have a positive impact on our work that is appreciated by our clients.”
