Bob Rucci of Elevation Exhibits & Events Receives “40 Under 40” Award from Worcester Business Journal
Elevation Exhibits & Events announced that Bob Rucci, the company’s Graphic Design Director, has been awarded Worcester Business Journal’s “40 Under 40” award. The award is granted annually by the publication to 40 area individuals, all under the age of 40, in recognition of outstanding professional and community work.
“Bob Rucci is that rare individual who’s not afraid to take risks if he thinks it will make something better,” said Jim Burke, president of Elevation Exhibits & Events. “He’s an asset to our company, to our clients, and to the community.”
Professionally, Rucci has been a graphic designer for more than 15 years. Since 2006, he has been in charge of graphic design and production at Elevation, where he helps clients create an impact with their messaging in a tradeshow atmosphere. One of his favorite projects was a larger-than-life, fully-working replica of the popular Milton Bradley game ‘Operation,’ which he helped create for a special event.
He has also been active in the community, doing pro-bono work for the Boys & Girls Club of MetroWest, creating a brand identity for a cancer charity, and designing a logo, T-shirts and posters for an event on behalf of the victims of the 2013 Boston Marathon tragedy.
"It’s a privilege to be acknowledged for such a prestigious award," Rucci stated. “I feel very fortunate to live and work where I do, and to be able to contribute to my community.” Rucci was featured along with the other recipients in the September 2nd edition of the Worcester Business Journal.
