We love a good gold moment – and this one is worth celebrating.

RPM Living’s Austin community, Bishop Momo, earned Gold at the MHN Excellence Awards for Best 2025 Marketing Campaign, recognizing a campaign that blended strategy, creativity, and authentic local connection.

The award-winning campaign was created and submitted by Asterisk, with strong collaboration between RPM Living’s corporate marketing team and on-site execution at the community level. Together, the teams leveraged resident experience, local partnerships, and community-focused content to bring the campaign to life in a way that felt both authentic and scalable.

It’s a great example of what happens when thoughtful strategy meets strong execution – and a proud moment for everyone involved.

This year, RPM teams showed up in a major way – donating an incredible 4,362 pairs of shoes to Soles4Souls, an organization that turns unwanted shoes into providing relief, creating jobs and empowering people to break the cycle of poverty. Two standout contributors helped push that number even higher:

Melissa Rosado, Remote Payroll Account Manager (Florida): 486 pairs
La Sierra Apartments (San Antonio): 704 pairs

Both took completely different approaches, but each proved that a little creativity – and a lot of heart – goes a long way. Here’s how they did it, and how you can bring their strategies into your next drive.

La Sierra Apartments: How a Community Came Together

La Sierra focused on meeting residents where they already were. Their top strategies included:

• Encouraging move-out donations: Residents who were relocating were invited to drop off any new or gently used shoes they no longer needed – turning a stressful transition into an easy moment to give back.
• Highlighting the drive at resident events: The team promoted the shoe drive during multiple community gatherings, making participation effortless and visible.
• Sending reminders and follow-ups: Simple nudges kept the drive top-of-mind and boosted resident turnout.

Result: 704 pairs collected and an entire community energized around giving.

Melissa Rosado: Getting Creative with Your Network

Melissa’s approach was all about expanding the circle. Here’s what worked:

• Shared the drive in her kickball league’s WhatsApp chats: Quick messages = fast momentum.
• Posted in multiple local Facebook groups: Broad reach, zero cost, and highly effective.
• Enlisted help from the owner of the kickball league: He emailed all participants on her behalf, creating immediate community buy-in.
• Welcomed support from unexpected places: Even a local Zumba class joined in once they heard about the cause!
• Stayed grounded in the mission: Melissa loved knowing her donations would support families in countries like Haiti and Honduras – providing consistent, quality food, housing, and education for five months.

Result: 486 pairs collected by one person – powered by purpose, connection, and a little hustle.

Both Melissa and La Sierra proved there’s no one way to make a big impact. Whether you tap into your community, your social circles, or everyday touchpoints with residents, small efforts add up fast. Because when we rally together, extraordinary things happen.

This Veterans Day, RPM Living is doing something we’re genuinely proud of: Giving every RPM veteran the day off.

It’s a small gesture for people who’ve served in big ways – and we wanted to spotlight how a few of our own RPM veterans plan to spend their time off.

Chase Workman – Leasing Manager (pictured returning from his first deployment to Iraq in 2018)

Chase is mixing progress and fresh air. He’s planning to spend part of his day catching up on homework (he’s nearing the end of his bachelor’s degree in accounting with only 14 months to go!) and then taking his fur baby to Floyd Lamb Park for a stroll – and yes, they’ll be stopping by the pet store afterward for a treat.

Johnathan Mathis – Maintenance Technician (pictured in uniform during his time in service)
Johnathan's plan is to relax, recharge, maybe sneak in a workout, and simply enjoy having a day to himself.

John Yanik – Senior Maintenance Manager
John has a clear mission for his day off – he’s hitting as many Veterans Day food perks as possible. San Diego has no shortage of restaurants that recognize veterans – Chili’s, Claim Jumper, Red Lobster, Dunkin’, Bluewater Boathouse Seafood Grill, Woodstock’s Pizza, Stone Brewery Tap Room, Melting Pot, Applebee’s, Lucille’s Smokehouse Bar-B-Que … and more – and if there’s a deal or a free entrée, John’s on it.

Jose Nunez – Maintenance Technician (pictured while serving in Afghanistan)
Jose is choosing to take his day off on an alternative date – his community, The Douglas, is hosting a Veterans Day get-together and he wants to spend the actual holiday celebrating with fellow veterans.

Dee Shaw Knox – Community Manager (pictured in uniform during her time in service)
Dee’s plan is much like Jose’s – she’s spending her day enjoying the complimentary meals and appreciation events offered throughout her area. A well-deserved day of good food and good company.

To all Veterans (however you choose to spend the day), thank you. Your service, your perspective, the culture you help shape and the heart you bring matter more than we can express in one blog post.
