We are absolutely thrilled to announce that Starmark has been honored with a prestigious Gold MarCom Award for our outstanding work on the Florida Power & Light Company (FPL) experiential installation at Junior Achievement (JA) World of South Florida.

This coveted award recognizes excellence in marketing and communications, and winning Gold is a testament to the creativity, strategy, and dedication of the entire Starmark team, as well as the visionary partnership with FPL and JA World.

The Award-Winning Experience

The FPL installation, a key component of the JA World “hands-on” learning experience, was designed to be much more than a simple display. It is a fully immersive, experiential environment that captures the vital role FPL plays in the community, providing students with a tangible, interactive understanding of:

• Rewarding Pathways: The diverse and exciting career opportunities available within the energy industry.
• Energy Generation: How power is created and distributed, including FPL’s commitment to clean, sustainable energy solutions.
• Financial Literacy: The importance of budgeting and energy consumption choices.

A Partnership that Powers Learning

Our goal was to create an experience that didn’t just tell students about FPL, but allowed them to feel and interact with the brand’s mission. Receiving the Gold MarCom Award validates our approach in turning complex industry concepts into engaging, memorable lessons for the next generation. We are incredibly proud of the impact this installation is having on the thousands of students who visit JA World each year.

— Jacqui Hartnett, CEO, Starmark
