IME is incredibly proud to announce that our marketing team took home two Colorado Marketing Excellence Awards: Best DEI Communications and Best Special Event – Mixed Media. 🏆 🏆
These awards validate a conscious decision by our team to align our marketing and communications strategy directly with core business needs to help drive organization transformation. In planning the celebration of our new headquarters milestone, we rejected traditional event playbooks to focus on a layered strategy of brand awareness, partnership & growth, workforce sustainability and diversity as drivers for operational excellence.
While this was a marketing initiative for IME, the true objective was to create a forum for our industry to initiate and lead real change and, help inform our DEI strategy. By transforming our fabrication floor into a space for candid open conversation on workforce sustainability, we chose to address a critical market challenge head-on.
A massive congratulations to our marketing team Madonna and Haley for their vision and ex*****on, and a sincere thank you to the panelists and industry partners who joined us to look toward the future of the trades.
Thank you to SMPS Colorado for the recognition.
