BluSiren Honored with 2026 Communicator Award of Distinction
BluSiren is proud to announce it has been named a winner in the 32nd annual Communicator Awards. The agency received the Award of Distinction in the Series-Feature Article Series category for its work on “Profiles from the Helm,” an original content series produced for ZF.
The Communicator Awards is the leading global awards program honoring creative excellence for marketing and communications professionals. This year’s competition received over 3,000 entries from agencies, production firms, and companies of all sizes, making it one of the largest and most competitive programs of its kind.
“Profiles from the Helm” offers an intimate look at leadership and innovation within the maritime industry. Through high-quality production and authentic narrative, BluSiren highlighted the personal expertise of the people behind the technology, further establishing ZF’s presence in the marine sector. The series’ success was driven by our dedicated creative team, including Brianna Bentov, who provided vital editorial support, and Shannon Baldwin, who led the project’s graphic design.
“It is an honor to be recognized by the Academy of Interactive and Visual Arts for this series,” said Amelia Smith, founder of BluSiren. “Our goal with ‘Profiles from the Helm’ was to capture the passion and human element of the marine industry. This award reflects the dedication of our creative team and the strength of our partnership with ZF.”
The Communicator Awards are judged and curated by the Academy of Interactive and Visual Arts (AIVA), an assembly of leading professionals from various disciplines of the visual arts. The Award of Distinction is presented for projects that exceed industry standards in quality and achievement.
“The work entered into the 32nd Annual Communicator Awards stands as a testament to the power of ingenuity and the reach of creative exploration,” said AIVA Managing Director Lauren Angeloni. “I want to congratulate the winners for their dedication to their craft and for pushing the boundaries of what is possible in communications.”
