“Kev's Got You Covered” followed The Kennedy Law Firm to the National Trial Lawyers Summit's Top 100 in Miami, where it won the Golden Gavel Award for Best Social Media Ad. The prize honored Kevin Kennedy's TikTok campaign — which had drawn 1.6 million followers — conceived by Sarah Sumpter. Judges show 100 randomly chosen people a set of ads and ask which lawyer they'd hire; Kennedy's won. He admits he still doesn't know much about TikTok, but frames it the way he frames a career in television and radio: you spend your whole life preparing for a moment.
“Painting With a Purpose” profiled the artist Kitty and ABUN, where no money changes hands — the works exist strictly to give. In 2022 the Artists for Conservation named her an internationally renowned artist and conservation leader with its top honor, the Simon Combes Conservation Artist Award. The Montgomery County Republican Party held its annual Lincoln-Reagan Dinner, with featured speakers U.S. Senator Marsha Blackburn and U.S. Congressman Mark Green, while Handbags for Hope drew more than 600 supporters to a High Tea fundraiser.
The recurring departments round out an October number that runs from a viral ad campaign to a conservation artist who gives her work away — the width of a Clarksville that surprises even itself.
