OCALA, FL (352today.com) – The Ocala Metro Chamber & Economic Partnership (CEP), a nonprofit organization that develops, promotes and supports business growth in and for the City of Ocala, caught some national buzz last week for its “Weekly Buzz” video series.
The series, which serves to update viewers on business development in the area as well as chamber news and events, garnered an Award of Excellence in the Association of Chamber of Commerce Executives‘ 2026 Awards for Communication Excellence.
“The award-winning entry was produced by CEP Visual Media Specialist Noah Paradiso, whose creative vision and production expertise have helped elevate the quality and impact of CEP’s digital communications,” read an announcement, in part. “Through a blend of studio production, event coverage, interviews, and storytelling, Paradiso has helped transform the Weekly Buzz into one of the organization’s most effective and recognizable communications tools.”
In conferring the award, the ACCE judges praised the show’s production values, pacing and “effectiveness in communicating community initiatives.”
The CEP’s award was one of 12 Awards of Excellence handed out by the ACCE this year; three of those winners will be further feted with Best in Show honors at the association’s annual convention in July in New Orleans.
