LOUISVILLE, Ky. (Oct. 23, 2026) – High10, a Louisville-based integrated digital marketing and content agency, went six for six at the Public Relations Society of America (PRSA) Bluegrass Chapter’s 2026 Landmarks of Excellence Awards. The agency earned six awards, including four Landmarks of Excellence, the program’s highest honor. High10 Account Supervisor Natalie McGraw was also recognized as a 2026 Rising Star.
Held Thursday, October 22, at Lynn Family Stadium, the annual awards program brought together nearly 150 communications professionals from across Greater Louisville. The event has recognized outstanding communications work throughout Louisville and Southern Indiana for nearly four decades. High10 earned recognition for its work across social media management, paid media, and website development for four clients – Carpet Mart, Cox’s & Evergreen Liquors, DFH Company, Parallel Products – as well as its own social media strategy.
“This was our first time entering the Landmarks of Excellence Awards, so leaving with a sweep was pretty exciting for our team,” said Eric Gunderson, CEO of High10 Digital. “We have a talented group of people who put a lot of work into helping our clients grow their businesses, so it’s great to see that dedication recognized. And having Natalie named a Rising Star made the night even more memorable. She’s played a big role in our agency’s success, and we couldn’t be more proud of her.”
High10's award-winning work includes:
- DFH Company – Website: High10 redesigned the website for the family-owned heating and cooling company, resulting in a 16% year-over-year increase in website engagement and a 90% increase in online form submissions. The company also experienced 7.5% year-over-year revenue growth following the redesign.
- DFH Company – Social Media Management: A people-first social media strategy brought the nearly 100-year-old HVAC company's employees, family legacy, and expertise to the forefront. The campaign increased all social media analytics and website traffic from social media by 203%.
- Carpet Mart – Digital Advertising: An integrated Google and Meta advertising campaign for the Louisville flooring retailer generated more than $610,000 in attributable revenue and 197 sales in just four months, achieving a 46.6X return on investment.
- Parallel Products – Sustainability: A targeted Google Search campaign connected businesses with Parallel Products’ sustainable recycling and product recovery solutions. In just three months, the campaign generated 29 website submissions and helped secure the company’s largest client to date, resulting in over $1 million in new business.
- Cox's Spirit Shoppe & Evergreen Liquors – Social Media Management: High10's social media strategy supported a 168% increase in e-commerce sales for the Kentucky-owned retailer compared to the previous six-month period.
- High10 Digital – Social Media Management: High10’s own social media strategy earned recognition for transforming the agency’s channels into a thought leadership platform. The strategy increased engagement across all five platforms, including a 143% increase on LinkedIn and a 433% increase on YouTube.
In addition to the agency’s six awards, McGraw was named a 2026 Rising Star, recognizing her leadership and contributions to the communications profession and Louisville community. As an Account Supervisor at High10, McGraw has played a key role in several of the agency’s most successful client campaigns, helping businesses achieve measurable growth.
The recognition follows another recent honor for McGraw, who was named one of the American Advertising Federation of Louisville's Hot 10 recipients in June. Beyond her work with clients, McGraw is actively involved in the Louisville community, including having previously served as the inaugural chair of the American Heart Association’s Young Leaders Board and completing the Leadership Louisville Center’s Ignite Louisville program.
“At the end of the day, our clients aren’t hiring us to win awards. They’re hiring us to help their businesses succeed,” added Gunderson. “The awards are just a really nice bonus.”
