Each year the client recognizes employees that exemplify the company’s Core Values. It’s a very select group of individuals chosen for a very prestigious honor, and the ceremony is a highly produced event meant to showcase these worthy individuals.
2018 - “WORLDWDE CHAMPIONS”
The venue for the 2018 event was the home of the Houston Astros: Union Station at Minute Maid Park. A baseball theme was the natural direction to take which included personalized jerseys and large hanging banners. It all came together in recognizing a group of individuals, gathered from around the world, as the champions they all are.
2015 - “ACHIEVERS: AGE OF EXCELLENCE”
With the release of the film “Avengers: Age of Ultron” in 2015, the organizers were inspired to produce an event that would tell the stories of their own group of superheroes, “The Achievers”. The theme was ripe for creative expression. From the invitation that took the form of a comic book to the dinner program full of colorful superhero embellishments, the evening was one of “heroic” proportions. Each recipient was also represented on their own oversized comic book cover which also served as room decor.
ABOVE AND BEYOND
Inspired by the 2012 release of the movie “Skyfall”, the 14th annual awards event took on a Bond-inspired design. Honoring all of the “Agents” of Excellence, the room was decorated with colorful acrylic towers that were illuminated from within.
20 YEARS AND STILL GOING STRONG
