The St. Louis-based agency is once more added of best engagement and activation agencies across 11 categories and specialties spotlighting the fastest-growing channels of marketing.
CPG is honored to be back on the CM200 list of the best non-advertising agencies. Chosen for quality of work, creativity, reputation and innovation, CPG Agency adds the 2020 recognition to this year’s list of distinguished awards, including Event Marketer’s “2019 It List” of the top 100 event agencies and two “B-to-B Hidden Gems” awards for Best Employee Engagement Event and runner-up for Best Overall B-to-B Event.
Winners were selected based on several criteria including insightful client testimonials; outstanding case study submissions; high caliber, consistent work across programs and clients; innovative and creative executions; and bold and inspiring concepts and ideas that are moving the industry forward. While many agencies were considered, the 200 agencies selected for this year’s program have been deemed thought leaders in their craft and representative of the best of the industry.
“We’re very thankful for clients who trust us to be bold and purposeful with our solutions,” said CEO and Co-Founder of CPG Agency, Keith Alper. “Our goal with every project is to create belief that powers a positive change for the client, their business goals and their people. I continue to have so much pride for the work we do and the amazing clients we get to do it for.”
Alper recently wrote the book on inspiring emotional commitment from employees and customers with “From Like to Love.” CPG Agency continues a record-breaking revenue and retention streak across the business as they continue to design result-driven corporate events and internal engagement strategies that transform moments into movements for their clients.
Strategic partnerships across the industry, including with Maritz Global Events, the world’s leader in event logistics, have helped CPG Agency break into new verticals like automotive, pharmaceuticals and user conferences. Top brands like Southwest Airlines, Ulta Beauty, Jimmy John’s, Carnival Corporation and O’Reilly Auto Parts have benefited from CPG’s unique live experiences, internal engagement and immersive digital solutions.
“Many of the marketing disciplines that were once considered ‘below the line’ have come into their own and become some of the most powerful marketing tools in the marketing mix,” says Jessica Heasley, Group Editor & Publisher at Chief Marketer. “We created the CM200 three years ago to shine a spotlight on this vibrant and fast-growing agency community, and to help modern marketers find the partners that will help them craft the kind of campaigns that modern consumers demand.”
