TALLAHASSEE, FL — Sachs Media, a leading strategic communications and public affairs firm, won a Gold Pollie Award from the American Association of Political Consultants (AAPC), the industry’s highest honor bestowed upon public affairs and political consultants at the national and international level. The firm was recognized in the Public Affairs and Issue Advocacy category for its exemplary work on behalf of its client, the Computer and Communications Industry Association (CCIA).
The campaign helped shape public opinion and legal narratives around content moderation and the First Amendment, contributing to the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to block restrictive legislation, remanding the case to lower courts and marking a significant victory for digital rights advocates.
“This was a complex and high-stakes challenge that cut to the heart of free speech in the digital age,” said Drew Piers, Partner and Managing Director at Sachs Media. “Our team thrives on work that makes a real impact and we’re honored to have helped amplify this important work on the national stage.”
The AAPC announced this year’s winners during the 2025 Pollie Awards and Conference in Colorado Springs, Colorado on May 19, 2025. Over 1,000 of the industry’s leading professionals were in attendance.
“The Pollie Awards continue to set the gold standard for creativity and effectiveness in political consulting,” said Larry Huynh, AAPC President. “This year’s winners demonstrate the talent, dedication, and vision that drive success in an ever-evolving political landscape.”
