Tonight is a big night for me — it will be my very first InSpire Awards dinner. It seems like just yesterday that Dana and I were hunkering down, filling notebook after notebook with a year’s worth of hard work — all in hopes of impressing the judges with what we know to be a lot of really great stuff!

If I am getting a little ahead of myself, know this — the InSpire Awards are hosted each year by the North Carolina Chapter of the Public Relations Society of America. It’s like a more local version of the PRSA’s Silver and Bronze Anvil Awards. And by golly, we’re excited to be a part of it!

I could go on and on about all of the awesome work we did for clients like Thomasville, Drexel Heritage, Briar Chapel, Triangle Family Services and UNC’s Kenan-Flagler Business School, but instead, I’ll just say this — we’re proud of each and every entry we submitted. One thing I love about Clairemont is that we put our hearts into each and every campaign and project, no matter how big or small!

As for tonight, we’ll be sure to fill you in on how things go. It promises be a night full of surprises. For one, I know that I am especially looking forward to the steak au poivre, as I have no idea what that actually is.

Stay tuned, oh faithful ones, and wish us luck!
