The leading automotive and lifestyle agency recognized with three gold awards for high-impact strategic campaigns, including an Hermes Creative Award
MOORPARK, CALIF. (June 28, 2023) – Kahn Media, a full-service marketing agency specializing in the automotive, outdoor and luxury/lifestyle markets, recently received three industry gold awards recognizing its 2022 public relations and influencer marketing campaigns for leading brands Bring a Trailer, Ringbrothers and the Goodguys Rod & Custom Association.
Most recently, Kahn Media received an Hermes Creative Award, which honors the creative industry’s best publications, branding collateral, websites, videos, advertising, marketing and communication programs. Kahn Media was recognized in the Media Relations and Press Kit Strategic Campaigns category for its 1990s-themed campaign for Bring a Trailer. To highlight the surging interest in ‘90s cars on the popular automotive auction site, Kahn Media’s in-house creative and public relations teams created and distributed a period-correct press kit to strategically selected media outlets and influencers. The kit included ‘90s-style printed infographics, 35mm film slides, a USB drive in the shape of a cassette tape and a pair of vintage Oakley Frogskins. As a result of this unique initiative, stories were generated in premier outlets like CNN, Newsweek, Yahoo! Finance, Robb Report and The Sun.
Kahn Media also received gold from the Stevie Awards, which recognizes the achievements and positive contributions of organizations and working professionals worldwide. Kahn Media took top honors in the Communications or PR Campaign of the Year – Influencer Management category for its work with the Goodguys Rod & Custom Association. To increase awareness of Goodguys’ legendary car shows with a new audience base, Kahn Media executed an exclusive influencer collaboration at one of Goodguys’ largest shows of the year with top automotive content creator Garrett Reed and his @AmericanMuscleHD Instagram channel. The collaboration not only introduced Goodguys to AmericanMuscleHD’s 2.3 million followers but also created on-the-ground content and visibility that yielded over 186,000 accounts reached, 700,000 impressions and 13,000 profile visits on the Goodguys’ Instagram feed within 48 hours.
The Titan Business Awards, an international awards platform that recognizes and honors significant achievements across a wide range of industries, selected Kahn Media as a gold winner in the PR & Communications – Best Media Relations Strategy category for its efforts surrounding Ringbrothers’ four custom vehicle debuts at the 2022 SEMA Show. The hybrid campaign consisted of distributing press releases and executing at-show unveilings for each vehicle, sharing teaser shots and videos on Ringbrothers’ social media platforms and providing content for influencers to generate pre-show excitement leading up to the unveils. The campaign concluded by providing embargoed content to multiple media outlets for editorial coverage, along with providing on-site support via social posts, video production, SMS notifications and press conferences. The four custom vehicles received global recognition with over 300 stories in the U.S., North America, Europe, Asia, and Central and South America.
“It’s a pleasure to work with such incredible brands on a daily basis, so to receive recognition from our peers and such esteemed organizations is an additional highlight,” said Dan Kahn, founder and CEO of Kahn Media. “The PR and marketing industries are always evolving, and our team prides itself on staying ahead of what’s trending and executing ambitious ideas that deliver value to our clients.”
The awards culminate a period of growth for Kahn Media. Despite the business challenges created by the pandemic, the Kahn Media leadership team utilized that time to evaluate client strategies, focus on employee development and invest in technology and growth. As a result, the agency has grown its staff by 25% with team members in eight states, has added a variety of services and sectors served and has achieved significant growth in terms of both its client roster and revenue. The results are proven by two years of record-setting financial success and multiple awards, including being named the #1 PR Agency in the region by the San Fernando Valley Business Journal for the fifth consecutive year.
