…And we’re a winner! Dragonfly took home a new batch of honors at this year’s Hermes Awards and Communicator Awards, both major international competitions in marketing and communications excellence.
We’re proud of all of the Dragonfly writers who contributed—and we want to share their awesome work with you. Á la The New Yorker, here are our five favorite sentences, one from each of the award winners:
