Tulip Media Group Client-Partners Win Platinum and Gold at the 2026 Hermes Creative Awards
Five Client-Partners recognized for custom magazine publishing excellence
Fredericton, NB — Tulip Media Group is proud to announce that five of its Client-Partners have been recognized at the 2026 Hermes Creative Awards, earning two Platinum awards and one Gold award across three custom magazine entries.
The winning publications include NARCOMS Now Magazine for the Consortium of Multiple Sclerosis Centers, Risk & Business Magazine for Nesbit Agencies, Miller Insurance Brokers, and Spectrum Insurance Group, and PalletCentral Magazine for Woodpack Global (formerly NWPCA).
NARCOMS Now and Risk & Business each received Platinum, and PalletCentral received Gold!
These wins reflect the strength of Tulip Media Group’s custom publishing model, which combines editorial strategy, audience-focused content, award-winning design, and a measurable engagement system to help organizations build stronger relationships with the people they serve.
For designer Tania McIntyre, who designed both Platinum-winning publications, the recognition speaks to the power of purposeful magazine design.
“Every magazine we create has to serve its audience,” said Tania McIntyre, Design Coordinator at Tulip Media Group. “With NARCOMS Now, the goal was to make research-based content feel clearer and accessible. With Risk & Business, the goal was to create a polished, credible publication that helped each insurance firm show up as a trusted advisor. I’m proud that both projects were recognized at the Platinum level because they show how thoughtful design can support trust and engagement.”
The NARCOMS Now Magazine entry was created for the Consortium of Multiple Sclerosis Centers. The publication helps translate patient-reported data and multiple sclerosis research into accessible, meaningful content for patients, clinicians, researchers, and the broader MS community.
The Risk & Business Magazine entry was created as a custom-branded magazine series for Nesbit Agencies, Miller Insurance Brokers, and Spectrum Insurance Group. Each version reflects the individual firm’s brand, voice, and market while maintaining a consistent editorial and design framework. The publication positions each firm as a trusted business advisor, using relevant content to educate, build credibility, and support client relationships.
The PalletCentral Magazine entry was created for Woodpack Global and received a Gold award. Designed by Jessica Embree, Creative Director at Tulip Media Group, the issue serves the wood packaging industry with content focused on advocacy, safety, sustainability, research, market conditions, and industry leadership.
“At Tulip, we are not trying to be everything to everyone,” said Jessica Embree, Creative Director at Tulip Media Group. “We are a custom magazine publishing company. Our work is built around helping organizations communicate consistently, engage their audiences, and create publications that carry long-term value. These awards are exciting because they recognize the creative quality of the work, but they also reflect the strategy behind it.”
For Tulip Media Group, the recognition highlights the growing role of custom magazines as more than print pieces. When supported by a clear publishing strategy and engagement system, magazines can become a measurable platform for relationship-building, retention, education, and credibility.
“These publications are successful because they are built with intention,” said Embree. “They are not one-off design projects. They are part of a larger communication system that helps our Client-Partners stay visible, trusted, and connected to their audiences.”
