Chestertown, Maryland (PRWEB) July 31, 2015 -- Mullin/Ashley Associates, a Mid-Atlantic branding, communications, PR and marketing research firm, has been recognized in the 2015 Aster Awards national competition for a marketing communications campaign created for Atlantic General Hospital, a regional healthcare organization serving Ocean City and surrounding communities in Coastal Maryland and Southern Delaware.
