Narrative announced on Mar. 16 that it received two honors at the 2026 Reed Awards, which are presented by Campaign & Elections. The awards recognize achievements in political campaigning, public affairs, and advocacy communications.
The recognition highlights Narrative’s work in partnership with its clients to produce creative content for public awareness and advocacy. The company was awarded in two categories: Best Online Video – Biographical – Non-Partisan for a project with the Alliance for Aging Research, and Best Online Video for Public Affairs Campaigns or Issue Advocacy – Infrastructure – Non-Partisan for a campaign with Securing America’s Future Energy (SAFE).
The Alliance for Aging Research project focused on raising awareness about barriers in Alzheimer’s care caused by Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services rules. These regulations prevent long-term care facilities from providing FDA-approved treatments for agitation, a symptom affecting many people living with Alzheimer’s disease. The video aimed to present these regulatory challenges and their impact on patient dignity, safety, and caregiver support to policymakers and administrators by sharing perspectives from patients and caregivers.
In collaboration with SAFE, Narrative developed “The Power to Protect” campaign to address issues related to America’s shrinking capacity to move electricity where it is needed. The campaign explained how transmission capacity affects national security, industrial competitiveness, and technological progress. It sought to bring attention to this infrastructure issue among audiences not typically engaged with such policy topics and aimed to position SAFE as an influential voice among defense, energy, and policy stakeholders.
Narrative said these honors reflect the collaborative efforts of its team in combining strategy, creative design, and media expertise “to help clients tell complex stories with clarity and impact.” The company also said it is proud “to create work that helps clients elevate critical issues, influence decision-makers, and drive meaningful policy campaigns.”
