The American Staffing Association recognized member staffing firms with 2017 ASA Genius Awards for outstanding marketing, advertising, multimedia, and public relations campaigns. The winning entries will be featured in a cutting-edge, interactive display at Staffing World® 2017, the ASA annual convention and expo, Oct. 24–26 in Chicago.
Genius Award entries are judged on a numeric scale by a panel of communication experts. Each entry is assessed for its visual appeal, content and message, originality of approach, objectives achieved, and overall effectiveness. Achievements in individual categories were recognized with Grand Awards, Genius Awards, and honorable mention distinctions.
“The ASA Genius Awards program highlights the most innovative and effective communications and marketing programs in staffing for the year,” said Richard Wahlquist, ASA president and chief executive officer. “We hope that learning about the Genius Award winners will continue to inspire our members to explore creative alternatives when communicating with job seekers, businesses, and other targeted audiences.”
