OKLAHOMA CITY (November 21, 2023) – VI Marketing and Branding, a full-service marketing agency in Oklahoma City, attracted top creative honors from international award program, The MUSE Creative and Design Awards last month. VI, a leading agency in its region, is highly recognized for its creative excellence, including 3 of the last 8 “Best in Show” awards at local American Advertising Awards.

VI’s creative work with longtime partner, the Tobacco Settlement Endowment Trust (TSET), roped in 8 MUSE awards, 3 of which received Muse’s highest Platinum award, which recognizes worldwide creative excellence. This year, VI and TSET share this honor with international brands such as Disney, Apple, McDonalds, Marriott, Warner Brothers, Adidas, Doritos, Honda and more.

 Among several other campaigns and creative assets, TSET’s Tobacco Stops With Me campaign, It’s Like They’re Smoking, earned 3 Platinum MUSE awards. The campaign, which also received the Best in Show honors at last year’s American Advertising Awards, focuses on educating Oklahomans about the dangers secondhand smoke poses to unsuspecting children in their homes.

“The quality of our creative work takes top priority,” said VI CEO, Tim Berney. “When paired with the important live-saving work we get to do with TSET, the result is something we are truly proud of.” 

Judges from 16 countries representing worldwide advertising and creative agencies evaluated MUSE creative submissions. Judging determined how well submissions exemplified excellence and pushed their respective industries forward. Award submissions earned Platinum, Gold, Silver or no honors, based on evaluation of the creative.

VI’s work with TSET and many other clients continues to push the bounds of creativity, creating success for clients and promoting better health in Oklahoma. VI is honored to be recognized among top brands and agencies worldwide.
