MikeWorldWide Wins Two Ragan Crisis Communications Awards for Change Management Amid Rebranding The Washington Commanders

Leading independent PR agency honored for Change Management and PR Campaigns that ushered in a new legacy for the team now known as The Washington Commanders

NEW YORK, July 21, 2022-MikeWorldWide, one of the world’s leading independent public relations agencies, was named the winner of two Ragan Crisis Communications Awards for best Change Management Campaign and PR Campaign on behalf of the former Washington Football Team, now know as the Washington Commanders.

The team from MikeWorldWide conceived and executed a change management strategy that leveraged franchise initiatives, addressed multiple crises, and rebuilt the reputation of the team formerly known as The Washington Redskins.

The public relations campaign highlighted structural changes, transformed the fan experience, and ultimately positioned The Washington Commanders as a team of the future.

In August of 2020, the franchise named Jason Wright, a former NFL player and McKinsey & Co. partner, as the first Black team president in NFL history. To further diversify its ranks, the team also brought in Julie Donaldson as the first female lead in an NFL radio booth. MikeWorldWide used the arrival of the new management team to illustrate the team’s commitment to meaningful change.
