JACKSON, Miss. (May. 8, 2025) – The Cirlot Agency, a leading national strategic communications firm with offices in Washington, D.C., and in Jackson, Miss., has been named a finalist in PR Daily’s prestigious Media Relations Awards in the Community Relations category. The recognition honors the Agency’s innovative work developing and launching the brand for Mississippi’s new professional baseball team, the Mississippi Mud Monsters.
This year’s Media Relations Awards recognize campaigns that have redefined how brands connect with communities, build trust, and earn media coverage. The Cirlot Agency is among a distinguished list of finalists, including AARP, ESPN, Hilton, Mastercard, and the University of Notre Dame.
The Mississippi Mud Monsters campaign captured statewide attention with a deeply rooted storytelling approach that reflected Mississippi’s culture and character. The Cirlot Agency led the comprehensive brand development—from naming and visual identity to launch strategy and media rollout—positioning the team as a beloved new institution before its first pitch.
“While The Cirlot Agency represents clients across all 50 states and six continents, it is really cool to be recognized for an award of this magnitude for work we performed in our own community,” said Richard W. Looser, Jr., COO of The Cirlot Agency. “This campaign is a testament to the power of homegrown storytelling and the strength of community-focused branding. We are honored to be recognized alongside some of the world’s most influential brands.”
Winners will be announced during a live luncheon on September 26, 2025, at the Yale Club in New York City, where top communicators from across the country will gather to celebrate outstanding achievements in media relations.
