Trillium Takes Two Top Honors at Thoth
October 12, 2017 – Trillium garnered top honors in two categories at the Public Relations Society of America National Capital Chapter’s (PRSA-NCC) Thoth Awards for Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Compass, bringing to five the number of major marketing and communications prizes in 2017 for the campaign.
Trillium rebranded and relaunched the CF Foundation’s services that help with insurance, financial, legal, and other concerns as one comprehensive offering—Compass—resulting in a 258% increase in assistance cases handled in the first year. The efforts were honored with the top Thoth Award in two categories: Marketing Consumer Products and Services and Integrated Communications for Organizations with fewer than 10,000 Employees or Members. See the Compass case study.
Each year, PRSA-NCC’s prestigious Thoth Awards recognize outstanding work in the Washington metropolitan area. Named for Thoth (pronounced “tot”), an Egyptian god of wisdom who was a mediator and scribe and credited as the inventor of communications and writing, the awards are given in 34 categories for the best PR campaigns and tactics. The Compass campaign was also recognized in 2017 with awards from the Public Relations Society of America and the National Public Health Information Coalition.

Marketing and communication work with the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation honored
June 8, 2017 – Trillium has been recognized with two Silver Anvil Awards from the Public Relations Society of America (PRSA) for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Compass campaign.
Together with its client, Trillium was honored with the highest awards in two categories:
- Marketing – Consumer Services – Other
- Internal Communications – Associations/Government/Nonprofit Organizations
PRSA received nearly 700 entries and awarded 56 Silver Anvils. Other winners included large, international public relations firms with their clients such as JetBlue, Hilton, and NASA. The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation was among only a handful of health nonprofits selected by the judges and announced at a gala ceremony in New York.
Since 2015, Trillium has been working with the Foundation to reposition and promote its services that assist people with CF, families, and healthcare providers with insurance, financial, legal, and other concerns related to life with CF. Trillium helped the Foundation brand and launch its formerly underutilized services as one comprehensive offering: CF Foundation Compass. Within the first year, patient assistance cases handled by the Foundation increased by 258%. Key to success was deeply engaging stakeholders throughout the process. See the Compass case study.
