G&S Integrated Marketing Communications (GS IMCG) is celebrating a milestone week for its agriculture communications practice, with both agency brands earning national recognition at the 2026 Golden ARC Awards and GSBC Principal and Managing Director of Client Service Stephanie Moore installed as president of the Agricultural Relations Council (ARC).
The combined achievements reflect GS IMCG's commitment to delivering award-winning client work while helping shape the future of agricultural communications through industry leadership.
Presented annually by the Agricultural Relations Council, the Golden ARC Awards recognize excellence in public relations, strategic communications and integrated marketing supporting agriculture, food, fiber and related industries. The awards were presented during ARC's Annual Meeting in Minneapolis and honor work executed during 2025.
"Our agencies are united by a commitment to helping clients solve complex business challenges through strategic communications," said Steve Halsey, principal and CGO of G&S Integrated Marketing Communications. "These recognitions celebrate outstanding work for our clients, but they also reflect the depth of talent across our organization and the leadership our people bring to the industries we serve."
