The American Cleaning Institute (ACI) is a finalist in three 2025 PR Daily Awards categories. The ACI Communications Team is recognized as a finalist for PR Team of the Year. ACI’s Packets Up! campaign is honored as a finalist in both the Influencer Campaign and Public Health or Safety Campaign categories.

The ACI Communications Team includes Brian Sansoni (Senior Vice President, Communications, Outreach & Membership), Jessica Ek (Associate Vice President, Strategic Communications), Kristin DiNicolantonio (Senior Director, Stakeholder Communications), Katie Sullivan (Director, Issue Communications) and Natalie D’Apolito (Manager, Communications & Outreach).

ACI’s Packets Up! initiative emphasizes the importance of proper laundry product use and storage to keep families safe. To help raise awareness on safe storage practices, ACI has collaborated with influencers like Dr. Kwandaa Roberts (@tinyhousecalls), an OB/GYN and interior designer and Dr. Darria (@drdarria), an Emergency Room doctor and child safety advocate.

As part of the Packets Up! campaign, ACI also developed a home safety guide in partnership with Horderly, a professional organizing company, and Safe Kids Worldwide, to provide parents and caregivers with tips on creating a functional and safe home environment for young children.

“For the ACI Communications Team to be honored as finalists in three PR Daily Awards categories is a great privilege,” said Jennifer Abril, ACI President & CEO. “I am proud to work alongside such a hard-working, savvy team that is an undeniable asset to our organization and the cleaning products industry. The Packets Up initiative’s positive impact on safe storage practices is invaluable, helping to keep everyone safe. We thank the PR Daily Awards for recognizing ACI’s efforts and our wonderful Communications Team.”

The award winners will be announced on December 2.
