MINNEAPOLIS, MN and BOSTON, MA — MVP Marketing + Design, Inc., a Minneapolis- and Boston-based brand-to-web agency serving private equity firms, investment banks, portfolio companies, and divisions of the Fortune 500, is pleased to announce that two of its private-capital-focused website projects have been recognized by the 2026 Communicator Awards, one of the leading international awards programs honoring excellence in digital communications.
MVP received an Award of Excellence, the competition’s highest honor, for its website redesign of Godspeed, a Washington, DC-based private equity firm focused on government services, defense, aerospace, and national security sectors.
In addition, MVP received an Award of Distinction for its website redesign of Bank Street, a Stamford, Connecticut-based investment bank specializing in digital infrastructure, communications, data centers, cloud, managed services, and related technology sectors.
Both honors were awarded in the Professional Services category.
“These awards reflect MVP’s continued commitment to helping private equity firms, investment banks, portfolio companies, and other private capital organizations strengthen their brands, digital visibility, and market positioning through strategic brand-to-web solutions,” said Dick Weinrib, Founder and CEO of MVP Marketing + Design. “We’re particularly honored that two organizations serving highly specialized and sophisticated markets have been recognized for excellence in digital communications. Both projects were developed utilizing our custom-tailored MVP TeamMate℠ WordPress platform and demonstrate the growing importance of website strategy, thought leadership, SEO, and digital experience in helping private capital firms differentiate themselves in an increasingly competitive marketplace.”
Godspeed Capital: Award of Excellence
The Godspeed website was developed to reflect the firm’s disciplined investment approach and deep sector expertise across government services, defense, aerospace, and national security markets. The site combines institutional-level design, clear investment messaging, intuitive navigation, and search-engine-optimized content to effectively communicate Godspeed’s differentiated investment thesis and value creation strategy.
The project received the Communicator Awards’ highest recognition, the Award of Excellence, which honors work that demonstrates exceptional quality, effectiveness, and creative execution.
Bank Street: Award of Distinction
MVP’s redesign of the Bank Street website focused on elevating the firm’s position as a leading advisor to companies operating across the rapidly evolving digital infrastructure ecosystem. The site was designed to better communicate the firm’s expertise in communications infrastructure, cloud services, data centers, managed services, and adjacent technology sectors while providing an enhanced user experience and improved content architecture.
The project received an Award of Distinction, recognizing outstanding achievement in digital communications and website design.
