Recognition for our work
National Award
Best State Society Magazine
Winner of National Society of Professional Surveyors journalism competition.
Mad River Creative has the pleasure of designing and editing The Cornerpost, a magazine put out by the Vermont Society of Land Surveyors. The magazine was twice named Best State Society Magazine by the National Society of Professional Surveyors during its annual journalism competition. The competition judges magazines from associations around the nation.
THE CHALLENGE: Before Mad River Creative started designing The Cornerpost, it was a two-color journal with lots of text but very few visuals. The result was a dry, outdated publication that struggled to keep readers' attention.
Before the redesign, The Cornerpost was a text-heavy, two-color journal.

THE SOLUTION: We updated the magazine to a glossy, full-color format with plenty of photos and articles of interest to land surveyors, contributed by a network of talented writers. The result is an award winning publication that members have said they read cover to cover.
