Pence Media Group Founder Nicole Pence Becker receives PRSA Hoosier Catalyst Award, Consultancy Earns 22 Industry Honors

At Pence Media Group, we believe that great storytelling has the power to elevate organizations, strengthen communities, and create lasting impact. This year, that commitment to meaningful impact was recognized in a big way.

PMG Owner + Operator Nicole Pence Becker was recently named the recipient of the PRSA Hoosier Chapter Catalyst Award, recognizing communications professionals who demonstrate ethical, strategic, and creative public relations while advancing the profession through leadership, mentorship and community impact.

The award was presented during the PRSA Hoosier Chapter’s annual Pinnacle Awards ceremony, where Pence Media Group also received 17 agency awards for outstanding client work, making PMG the most-awarded agency of the evening. In addition, the consultancy received five international Telly Awards for excellence in video production.

A Milestone for Nicole Pence Becker

Receiving the Catalyst Award marks a meaningful milestone in Nicole’s career and reflects nearly a decade of building a consultancy rooted in relationships, strategy, and service.

“To be recognized with the Catalyst Award is incredibly meaningful,” said Nicole Pence Becker. “Looking back, it’s incredible to see how one leap of faith has grown into a consultancy dedicated to helping others tell their stories with purpose and impact. This award also reflects our team’s work and showcases the impact powerful storytelling can have for the organizations and communities we serve.”

Since founding PMG in 2017, Nicole has grown the company into an award-winning consultancy serving public, private, and nonprofit organizations across Indiana and beyond. Throughout that journey, her focus has remained the same: helping clients communicate with authenticity, build trusted brands, and create measurable results while investing in the communications profession and the next generation of leaders in the industry.

Recognizing Award-Winning Client Work

While the Catalyst Award celebrates individual leadership, the Pinnacle Awards recognized the work PMG creates every day alongside its clients and partners.

The PRSA Hoosier Chapter honored Pence Media Group with nine Pinnacle Awards and eight Awards of Honor across marketing, communications, media relations, special events, and social media campaigns. PMG won more awards than any other firm.
