For the second straight year, San Antonio-based MAS Consulting Group has received a Pollie Award from the American Association of Political Consultants (AAPC).

The award this year recognized work the company did on behalf of Hispanic Republicans of Texas, a political action group formed by George P. Bush, George Antuna Jr. and Juan Hernandez. George P. Bush, whose mother is Hispanic, is the son of former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and the nephew of former President George W. Bush.

“The Pollies are the Oscars of political communications, so we’re very excited to have received the award and the recognition from the AAPC for the body of work we’ve produced,” says Cesar Martinez, president and CEO of MAS Consulting Group.

MAS Consulting’s goal with the spot was to garner attention for its client, HRT, and to encourage and support Hispanic Republicans to run for political offices at all levels.

“We congratulate our agency, MAS Consulting Group, for great creative work, which helped launch our organization and continues to help move our PAC forward,” says Trey Newton, director of Hispanic Republicans of Texas.

The Pollie Awards were presented on March 11 in Washington, D.C. The AAPC was founded in 1969 as a multi-partisan, nonprofit organization for political professionals. Each year the organization recognizes the best of the best in the business in over 600 political campaign and public affairs categories.

MAS Consulting Group is a communications consulting firm with an active presence in the U.S., Mexico and Spain.
