Agency honored with two Silver Davey Awards and Golden Tusk Award for standout work in life sciences branding, integrated creative campaigns, and healthcare rebranding

CHARLESTON, S.C., Dec. 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Inspire Agency, a brand marketing and communications agency delivering mission-driven, high-impact solutions for health, purpose, and growth-minded organizations, is proud to announce its work has been recognized with multiple honors from two leading public relations and marketing industry competitions: The Davey Awards and the Carolinas Healthcare Public Relations & Marketing Society (CHPRMS)’s Wallie and Golden Tusk Awards. Inspire’s work on behalf of three different clients, Ritedose, SCbio and VirtuAlly, earned two Silver Davey Awards and a Golden Tusk Award.

Davey Awards

Named after David—who famously triumphed over Goliath—the Davey Awards honor small shop agencies and creators whose work lands maximum impact.

The Davey awards committee recognized Inspire agency with Silver Awards in the following categories:

  • General-Pharmaceuticals: Inspire Agency’s design and development of Ritedose.com highlights Ritedose’s leadership in sterile drug manufacturing and showcases its brand mission of passion and precision with a purpose.
  • Integrated Campaign – Promotional & Branding: Inspire Agency’s collaborative campaign with SCbio positions South Carolina as the future of life sciences. The campaign highlights the state’s momentum, innovation and quality of life aligning with SCbio’s goal to ‘Build the Life — and the Science — that Propels the Future.’

“These awards celebrate the incredible mission- and purpose-driven organizations we get to serve,” said President and Chief Inspirer of Inspire Agency Juliette Bogus. “We get to serve incredible organizations that are impacting patient lives, while shaping the future of healthcare and life sciences.”

Golden Tusk Award (CHPRMS)

The Wallie and Golden Tusk Awards are given at the CHPRMS Annual Conference to recognize excellence in public relations and marketing among healthcare organizations, manufacturers, non-profits, and creative firms located in the Southeast. A panel of marketing communications professionals from other states selected Inspire Agency for a Golden Tusk Award for the following:

  • Image/Brand Marketing Campaign: Inspire Agency’s rebrand for VirtuAlly included a new company logo, refreshed company branding and a redesigned website that showcases how this innovative company is transforming healthcare.

These recognitions affirm Inspire’s expertise in delivering mission-driven, high-impact marketing for health, purpose, and growth-minded organizations. Inspire’s work helps brands discover their soul, communicate their culture, and engage with their audiences in meaningful ways—keeping people at the heart of every strategy, story, and solution.

“This recognition also reflects the brilliance and heart of our Inspirers, who show up every day committed to creating meaningful, human-centered work,” continued Bogus. “At Inspire, we believe in telling the stories that matter, solving real problems with creativity, and building connections that move people. These projects and awards are a testament to that belief—and to the clients and team who make it possible.”
