AFE Wins Platinum MarCom Award for “Murder, Sex and Greed”

The American Floral Endowment (AFE) took home its fourth award for the animated awareness video “Murder, Sex and Greed.” MarCom Awards selected the video from over 6,500 entries as the best nonprofit film.

“We’re thrilled to receive MarCom’s Platinum Award—the organization’s top honor,” said AFE Executive Director Debi Aker. “This video has been instrumental in helping raise awareness of AFE’s commitment to solving problems in the floral industry and to win four prestigious awards shows its impact.”
The short one-minute video was developed to educate the floriculture industry about AFE’s positive impact on critical industry problems. It can easily be viewed and shared online at Endowment.org/awareness.
