SANTA MONICA, Calif. - (August 12, 2009) - The Phelps Group recently scooped up five statuettes from the Communicator Awards on behalf of City of Hope, a recognized world-class leader in cancer research and treatment, and NuSil Technology, a leading formulator and manufacturer of silicone compounds for healthcare, aerospace, electronics and photonics applications.

The Phelps Group was recognized as a gold winner for the City of Hope integrated campaign, "Canswer" and received a second gold for the City of Hope "Thank You" video, which was shown to a sold out audience of attendees at the Los Angeles stop of the Disney "Best of Both Worlds Tour" featuring Miley Cyrus. Last year, Disney donated $1 from every ticket sold during the tour to cancer research at City of Hope, which raised more than $1 million.



On behalf of NuSil Technology, The Phelps Group earned two silver awards for trade publication ads in the electronics and drug delivery categories and took home a third silver Communicator Award for the overall print advertising campaign category.

Presenting awards for over a decade, The Communicator Awards received more than 9,000 entries from companies and agencies of all sizes this year, making it one of the largest awards of its kind in the world.
