The Worx Group Creative Head Named One of Graphic Design USA's People to Watch in 2006

Prospect, CT, March 2, 2006 - Grant Copeland, Vice President of Design for The Worx Group, has been named by Graphic Design USA magazine as one of its "People to Watch" in 2006.

Copeland, who also serves as creative director of the Prospect-based marketing communications firm, is one of twenty design professionals nationwide to be selected to this year's list as a person who is "shaping the design profession, producing notable work, making news, influencing others and leading the community," says Gordon Kaye, Editor and Publisher of Graphic Design USA.

Copeland was featured in the January issue of the industry publication with a full-page interview. The honor comes on the heels of The Worx Group winning 10 national design awards in the magazine's 2005 annual juried competition - the most awarded to any firm in the country. Copeland designed or directed all ten award winners for clients including FedEx, IBM, Wood Group, Kuehne + Nagel and ConAgra Foods.

"To have such a personal honor bestowed upon me is very humbling," said Copeland. "As a designer or director, you think less about awards or honors and more about how your work is serving a client's business goals and objectives. Impacting a client's bottom-line objectives is what makes me passionate each day. However, gaining honors like this also shows a general appreciation for the unique expertise we provide to our local and national client base."
