From a pool of international applicants, the Communicator Awards honored Metropolis Creative with three Awards of Excellence and one Award of Distinction for their recent graphic design work. The Communicator Awards recognized Metropolis’ interactive and print designs as outstanding in their field and among their peers.

Metropolis received the four awards from over 7,000 entries in print and interactive categories. The Awards of Excellence were for:

	Their execution of The Keating Group’s marketing brochure in the Business-to-Business category,
	logo design for Textaurant in the Corporate Identity category,
	and the Creative Economy website design.

Metropolis Creative's own website was honored with an Award of Distinction in the Website Self-Promotion category.

Now in its 15th season, the Communicator Awards is the leading international awards program honoring creative excellence for communications professionals. The awards are sanctioned and judged by the International Academy of the Visual Arts – a judging body comprised of top executives from organizations such as Alloy, Brandweek, Coach, Disney, The Ellen Degeneres Show, Estee Lauder, HBO, Monster.com, MTV, Polo Ralph Lauren, Sotheby's Institute of Art, Wired, and Yahoo! to name a few.
