Mekky Media Relations has earned another recognition for Hyde Park Summer Fest! On October 16, Mekky Media was awarded the 2024 Publicity Club of Chicago Golden Trumpet Award in the Special Events category. The Golden Trumpet Awards celebrate the best in public relations, honoring standout campaigns that elevate clients and deliver tangible results. Mekky Media’s work helped amplify the festival’s profile, securing local and national media attention.
Mekky Media played a pivotal role in the success of the 2023 Hyde Park Summer Fest, a historic celebration of hip-hop’s 50th anniversary. By securing over seven billion impressions and 204 media placements in top outlets like The Chicago Tribune, The Source and Ebony, the agency helped elevate the festival to national prominence. This strategic campaign not only led to a sold-out event but also reshaped the perception of Chicago’s South Side, positioning it as a vibrant cultural hub.
“We’re ecstatic to receive our second award for this campaign! This recognition fuels our passion in delivering groundbreaking campaigns and pushing the boundaries of public relations,” said Michelle Mekky, Founder and CEO.
