Last Friday, the American Association of Political Consultants honored Targeted Victory, the consulting firm that was paid more than $96 million by the Republican National Committee and the Romney campaign during the 2012 election cycle. The AAPC is the largest association of political consultants in the country.
This week, Targeted Victory executive Mike Beach sent out an email confirming the firm’s awards:
Friday night the annual AAPC Pollie awards were held at the Hyatt Regency on Capitol Hill. From television to online advertising, Gold, Silver and Bronze Pollies were awarded across a broad range of categories. Targeted Victory took home a total of 35 Pollie Awards.
Targeted Victory’s website also confirmed the company won 10 Gold Pollies, 16 Silver Pollies, and 9 Bronze Pollies.
Nine of the Gold Pollies were for work done on behalf of the Romney for President campaign, and one was for work done on behalf of Karl Rove’s American Crossroads.
