Best of Show Award
The Best of Show Award features the winning entries from each category going head-to-head to be named Best of Show voted on by a jury of outside industry marketing professionals. This year’s award went to Middle of Six from Tacoma, WA for their entry titled “The Wildcards Campaign” in the Brand Awareness Campaign category.
One juror commented, “What a fun campaign! This is a great idea and an excellent way to promote your business. In AEC marketing we recognize all of those Wildcards and work with them every day. Thank you for identifying them and giving them nicknames. This really showed you understand AEC marketing, and they resonate with us.”
People's Choice Award
The People’s Choice Award, voted on by conference attendees and the virtual SMPS community alike, was awarded to the Consor Engineers from Houston, TX for its intranet website ”Beacon.”
A juror stated that “This was a great way to engender ownership was to have employees choose the name. Very impressed with beta testing and clear instructions for training. It’s a very tall order to consolidate so many offices and company cultures into one. The naming and carry-through on the metaphor of light was clever.”
