The winners of the 2022 Construction Marketing Awards were announced on December 1st at a glittering ceremony in London. The finalists gathered at what was the biggest presentation dinner in the 22 year history of the Awards to celebrate their achievements, see some old friends and make new ones at what everyone knows is the best party in UK construction.
ROCKWOOL UK (right) took the Marketing Team of the Year prize. Judges said they were a highly capable marketing team who look like they are leading the industry in terms of their in-house mar-tech capability. Their great innovation, and great inclusive
personal development had led to great results.
WAA Chosen took home Agency of the Year for the first time, their remarkable performance over the last year caught the eye of the judges, as did their drive to achieve on behalf of their clients, and their talent development programme – partly demonstrated by Jen Mitchell from the agency snapping up the Emerging Agency Star award.
