RMG Communications is celebrating three honorees in its first-ever RMG Awards. The awards recognize teammates who bring hustle, heart and a dash of RMG magic to their work. This year’s honorees are Communications Managers Jade Climaco and Katlyn Phelps, and Roo Dickman, RMG’s Director of Naps and Snacks.
“I started the RMG Awards because I wanted to take a moment to recognize the people who make this work possible and the care they bring to it,” said Rachel Dickman, founder of RMG Communications. “Kat and Jade show that care every day in the way they look after our clients and each other. And Roo? She’s very good at reminding me to take a break.”
Jade Climaco | Business Excellence Award
Jade was RMG’s first employee and has helped shape the firm from its earliest days. As Communications Manager, she supports clients including a statewide professional association and a large water utility. Clients and teammates regularly tell us how much they enjoy working with Jade. She’s responsive, follows through and makes sure people feel taken care of.
Jade also handles payroll, insurance and the many details that keep a small business running. Her care for both our clients and our team is felt throughout RMG, and we’re especially glad to give that work a moment in the spotlight.
Katlyn Phelps | PR Excellence Award
Kat joined RMG in 2022, shortly after graduating from Northern Arizona University, and was promoted to Communications Manager this year. She keeps complex client projects moving, catches the details that are easy to miss and makes sure the creative team has what it needs to do its best work.
Kat also makes time to keep learning and give back to the profession. She completed the UC Davis SEO Professional Certificate series and volunteers on the California Association of Public Information Officials’ 2027 Awards Committee.
Roo Dickman | Feline PR Excellence Award
Our final honoree has four paws, some very impressive whiskers and the softest fur in four counties. Roo and her sister Mav joined the RMG family through a local rescue in 2023, when each was small enough to fit in the palm of a hand.
While Mav chose to dedicate her time to the cosmos, exploring the stars and astrology from the comfort of her cat tree, Roo lent her time and talents to RMG. As Director of Naps and Snacks, she often plants herself beside Rachel for hours while she works. Roo’s award comes with extra treats, loving pets and absolutely no additional responsibilities.
Congratulations, Jade, Kat and Roo! We’re grateful for the heart each of you brings to RMG.
