Clearpoint Agency Lands Silver Sandie for High-Impact Global PR Campaign with OptionMetrics

In a competitive field of 151 entries, Clearpoint Agency took home a Silver Sandie Award from the American Marketing Association’s San Diego Chapter for its standout 2024 public relations and earned media campaign on behalf of New York-based data analytics firm OptionMetrics.

The win puts Clearpoint among the top PR performers in the region—joining a list of Sandie winners that includes San Diego Foundation, San Diego Tourism Authority, and Father Joe’s Villages. And for good reason: the firm’s OptionMetrics campaign generated more than 400 earned media placements, 11 thought leadership articles, and international exposure in leading financial and academic outlets.

Turning Options Data Into Media Gold

The campaign's objective? Elevate OptionMetrics’ brand presence in both the U.S. and European markets while positioning the firm as a trusted voice in options analytics and financial data.

Clearpoint executed with precision, securing coverage in:

• Major financial outlets like CNBC, Reuters, NASDAQ, MarketWatch, and The Wall Street Journal

• Global financial media including Financial Times, Wilmott, Waters, and RISK

• Targeted thought leadership placements across U.S. and European platforms

OptionMetrics reported increased direct website traffic and a spike in new business leads—plus user growth in key markets like the U.K., Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Japan, and the U.S.

“Clearpoint has continuously delivered results year after year,” said Eran Steinberg, COO at OptionMetrics. “They’ve helped us land top-tier earned media while being a strategic, professional, and fun team to work with. This recognition is well deserved.”

A PR Partnership That Pays Off

This wasn’t a one-off engagement. Clearpoint and OptionMetrics have collaborated for seven years, with the agency consistently delivering smart media strategies and results that align with the brand’s goals.

“We love working with clients like OptionMetrics who push us to do our best work,” said Hilary McCarthy, Vice President at Clearpoint. “This Sandie Award recognizes not just the impact of the campaign, but the power of a long-term, collaborative partnership built on trust and creativity.”

The Sandies are judged by AMA members outside the San Diego market to ensure impartiality—making the recognition even more meaningful for the Clearpoint team.

Raising the Bar in Tech and Finance PR

Clearpoint’s win highlights a broader trend in B2B PR: the increasing importance of earned media in building brand trust, authority, and global reach—especially in complex, data-driven sectors like finance and technology.

And as Clearpoint continues to rack up industry wins and global placements, the agency proves that strategic PR is still one of the sharpest tools in the B2B growth toolkit.
