Proforma Takes Home Four GDUSA Awards

July 07, 2026 // Franchising.com // TAMPA, Fla. — Proforma announced it has won four Graphic Design USA (GDUSA) American Inhouse Design Awards™ in the 2026 competition, continuing a 15-year streak of recognition for design work.

This year, four campaigns earned recognition in four categories:

• Direct Mail & Direct Response: On Point Onboarding
• Integrated Marketing Campaigns: Unbox Possibilities
• Branding & Identity Programs: Proforma New Owner Welcome Kit
• Catalogs: Proforma Retail Catalog

Each piece highlights resources for Distributor Owners.

“The goal of each campaign is not only to make a visual impact but also to spark conversations among Distributor Owners, their customers, and prospects,” said Tim Nale, Chief Brand Officer at Proforma. “This national recognition from GDUSA is a proud moment for Proforma and a testament to the talent on the Proforma Brand Team and the quality of work produced.”

Marketing campaigns support Distributor Owners at various stages of their business journey, including onboarding, customer outreach, and brand awareness. The campaigns On Point Onboarding and Unbox Possibilities demonstrate print and promotional capabilities through a personalized approach.

“Our marketing efforts are built around supporting our Distributor Owners and helping them succeed,” said Gianna Mangino, Manager of Brand Marketing at Proforma. “Our commitment to delivering high-quality marketing campaigns for our Distributor Owners remains unchanged.”

The Proforma Support Center comprises more than 200 experts across specialized fields who contribute to ongoing programs. Among them are Senior Graphic Designers Lydia Thomas and McKenzie Kraus, who helped spearhead the new Owner onboarding kit.

“It’s rewarding to see the attention to detail and purpose behind these projects be recognized,” said Lydia Thomas, Senior Graphic Designer at Proforma. “Our goal is to push creative boundaries and continuously evolve how we share Proforma’s story.”

Jay Vento, Owner of Proforma Spectrum Graphics Unlimited, has used the welcome kits this year after an acquisition.

“Having the Proforma Support Center behind me has been a game changer for my business,” said Jay Vento, Owner of Proforma Spectrum Graphics Unlimited. “The welcome kit provided me with the necessary tools to successfully integrate an acquired business and onboard new Sales Professionals to my team.”

GDUSA recognition for the 15th consecutive year reflects ongoing design work in the industry.
