So Wednesday night was my first time at the Construction Marketing Awards, hosted by the Construction Industry Group of the Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIMCIG).
A great sense of positivity could be felt across the entire venue as the night successfully showcased the very best of construction marketing; the event enabled both construction companies and their marketing teams to have their achievements recognized by all within the industry.
A few competitive categories from the awards listing included ‘PR Agency of the year’ and ‘Best Use of Content Marketing’.
With some big names pushing the construction industry forward, the night truly highlighted the industry’s creativity and growing effectiveness in marketing.
Our client Celotex and the Pauley Team truly enjoyed a night full of fun and laughter as the festivities continued into the early hours.
It’s fair to say that a great night was hard by all!
