Awards do not make the work. The work makes the awards. CEA Marketing has been entering industry competitions since the late 1990s not to collect hardware but to hold the work to a standard. Every trophy on this page is proof that what we built for a client was judged the best by independent industry panels.
The organizations that recognized us are the three most respected in the homebuilding industry. NAHB at the national level. TBBA at the regional level. The Aurora Awards at the Southeast conference level. Winning across all three is rare. Winning consistently for nearly 30 years is what separates a great year from a great agency.
