DotCOMM Awards today announced early deadline winners for the 2020 international awards competition. dotCOMM Awards is an international competition honoring excellence in web creativity and digital communication. The competition is unique in that it reflects the role of creatives in the dynamic web that is transforming how we market and communicate products and services.

Pittsburgh native, Michael Stover, founder and President of MTS Management Group was announced as a Gold Award Winner. Stover was recognized in the Content Marketing/Blog Post category for his press release written for Ohio-based country artist Richard Lynch. The release touted Lynch’s latest album release, “Think I’ll Carry It On.”

My 10th year in business as MTS Management Group has definitely been a surreal one,” said Stover. “With everything taking a backseat to COVID-related news, it’s really a blessing to be recognized with this honor. I love what I do, but I couldn’t do it without the love and support of my wife and my family, for putting up with the long hours. With God all things are possible! I have to recognize my artists, too. I am truly blessed to work with such genuinely incredible people.”

dotCOMM Awards’ categories are the elements of the web’s evolving tools. Interactivity, content, design, social media, video, apps, blogs, and influencers are all important components of digital public relations, marketing, and advertising campaigns. Together, they generate branding, customer engagement and ultimately sales.
