Allegra Marketing Print Mail Coal City Earns Recognition for International Graphic Design Competition

“I am grateful to have the opportunity to participate, and I love the challenge of working with the design theme each year,” said Megan Leleniewski, the Allegra designer who won the award. “It’s an honor to have my work showcased in front of our entire network. To receive this kind of recognition is incredibly rewarding! I can’t wait to continue to challenge my design skills and see what I can come up with for the communities we serve in future projects.”

Leleniewski was recognized as a finalist in the Alliance Franchise Brand’s Poster Contest for their 2022 annual convention held in Minnesota. Leleniewski drew inspiration from the beautiful scenery of Minnesota, highlighting a silhouette of the state’s welcome sign surrounded by trees and a sunny background with details encapsulating Minnesota’s “The Spoon” sculpture, as well as the Split Rock Lighthouse. The poster was completed with a textured, paper-cut look, a strategic touch that separated her poster from the competition.

“The creativity Megan brings to the table is always very inspiring. You can see the passion she has for design in every project she works on,” said Burk Cueny, Vice President of Marketing for Alliance Franchise Brands, the parent company of Allegra Marketing & Print Mail. “Megan’s artistic vision is matched with impressive strategy and the ability to deliver positive results to the clients she works with. We’re proud to have her on our team representing what Alliance Franchise Brands is all about.”
