Southfield, Mich., May 19, 2011 – Airfoil Public Relations has earned a platinum Hermes Creative Award for quality, creativity and resourcefulness in executing the Microsoft's annual "Work Without Walls" public relations campaign.

In an effort to encourage the adoption of Microsoft solutions that enable a remote workforce, Airfoil developed this research-driven communications program to reposition remote working from an employee perk to an operational strategy in the minds of business leaders.

"Our 'Work Without Walls' campaign raised the bar for how we proactively shape strategic, creative and targeted business story platforms," said Amy Messano, senior public relations manager for Microsoft. "Over the past decade, our strong relationship with Airfoil has helped our teams to execute extremely ambitious communications programs with efficiency and excellence."
