Noblesville-based Pickett and Associates (P&A) recently received two 2025 MUSE Creative and Design Awards, organized by the International Awards Associate (IAA). P&A’s award-winning entries were chosen from more than 13,000 submissions in the global competition, recognizing innovation, craft, and influence across the creative and design industries.
P&A earned the Publication Magazine 2025 Silver Award distinction for a project brought to life by two Noblesville High School graduates: designer Kathleen Wedmore and writer Rose Campbell, delivered for client Hancock Health. This honor underscores the ingenuity of the idea, the calibre of its execution, and the lasting resonance it holds within its field. The publication series was also recognized earlier in the year with a 2025 Hoosier PRSA Pinnacle Honor Award. View the winning entry at tinyurl.com/BLOOMwinter2025.
In addition, P&A earned a 2025 Gold Award for Strategic Program-PR Campaign for client Roberts Settlement and the Legacy Walk. P&A was a proud partner of Hamilton County Tourism working with the historic Black settlement in its launch of the Legacy Walk, an interactive, self-guided journey through Roberts Settlement’s pioneer history.
Public relations strategy and implementation were provided by veteran communicator and long-time Hamilton County resident, Patricia Pickett, APR.
“This year we are celebrating 15 years of providing clients with strategic public relations, marketing communications and brand design,” Pickett said. “While our focus is always delivering measurable results for clients, it is gratifying to be recognized among such distinguished entries by a jury of very successful peers. It’s a great way to stop and reflect on the quality of work we provide to local, small-to-mid-size organizations.”
A former reporter, editor, and publisher, Pickett ventured into public relations and marketing in 2005 and launched Pickett and Associates, LLC (P&A) in 2010 serving businesses, non-profit entities, municipalities and health care organizations. The collaboration of experienced communication professionals serves clients in Indiana as well as Chicago and St. Petersburg, Fla. Local clients include Meals on Wheels of Hamilton County, Shelby Materials, and Carmel Clay Parks & Recreation.
For Pickett, the accolades are more meaningful in that her daughters shared duties on the award-winning projects. Kat Wedmore serves as P&A’s creative director while Rose Campbell is content strategist.
“When I launched the business in 2010, I had no idea that both would have any interest in joining our team,” Pickett said. “Kat started with us in 2013 and Rose in 2019; it’s an absolute joy to work with them professionally and share these honors.”
The MUSE jury, consisting of over 100 distinguished professionals from 30 countries, brought together diverse expertise to ensure a fair and thorough assessment of the entries. All evaluations were conducted under a blind judging system, ensuring fairness and impartiality.
