People’s Leasing was awarded the prestigious fifth place out of a 100 entries that saw the likes of the Adidas Group, UPS and Kia Motors compete to be part of the top communications materials for this year. They were also awarded the platinum award for the most inspirational communications material and for excellence within its competition class.

Through several hundred hours of judging, LACP identified winners within peer-level competition classes. Competition classes were established to create the most level playing field possible between entries. They were determined according to company size, annual revenue, and other pertinent factors. A composite score, based on a 100-point scale, was then determined by summing the results of all judging criteria.  

The entry with the highest total score within its competition class was presented with the platinum award. The entries with the second, third, and fourth-highest total scores within their competition class garnered the gold, silver, and bronze awards, respectively.
