Garmann Miller has been recognized among the best in the nation, earning three first-place honors in Zweig Group’s 2025 Marketing Excellence Awards.

These annual awards celebrate outstanding achievement in marketing, branding, and communications within the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry. GM’s recognition highlights the team’s creative strategy and collaborative approach to sharing the firm’s story.

The team earned top honors in the following categories:

• Event – For “Play It Forward,” a purpose-driven trade show campaign that turned client engagement into community impact through interactive design and philanthropy.

• Integrated Marketing / Brand Awareness – For the “Play It Forward” campaign’s coordinated digital and in-person storytelling, creating a unified brand experience across multiple platforms.

• Internal Marketing – For “Good Things Come in Green Boxes,” a creative onboarding initiative that welcomed new team members with energy, belonging, and GM culture from day one.

“These accolades reflect our team’s commitment to creative storytelling and to connecting audiences with the heart of Garmann Miller’s work—our people, purpose, and the communities we serve,” said Communication & Marketing Director Doug Rentz, CPSM.

All winners were recognized in the fall of 2025 at the Elevate AEC Awards Gala in San Antonio.
