Get an inside look at what it takes to create award-winning marketing in the A/E/C industry. This session presents a rare opportunity to hear directly from past winners of SMPS’s Marketing Excellence Awards (MEAs) and Marketing Communications Awards (MCAs) as they share the inspiration, strategy, and standout ideas behind their recognized work. The program begins with brief presentations, followed by a panel discussion where attendees can ask their own questions. You’ll leave with a clearer understanding of how different teams tackle the process and the practical considerations that contributed to their national successes.

Participants will:

• Gain insight into elevating a submission from strong to award-winning
• Understand key storytelling and content decisions within award entry constraints
• Identify strategies for highlighting impact and purpose in submissions
• Learn how past winners shaped successful award submissions
• Walk away with actionable ideas to strengthen your next proposal or award entry
