Recognition Since 1997

Nearly 30 Years of
Award-Winning Work

CEA Marketing has earned more than 120 industry awards since founding in 1997. Recognition spans the NAHB Nationals presented by the National Association of Home Builders National Sales and Marketing Council, the Tampa Bay Builders Association Awards of Excellence, and the Aurora Awards presented by the Southeast Builders Conference. Every award on this page was won for a client or for work that moved a brand forward.

120+ Industry Awards
28+ Years Winning
3 Award Organizations
15+ Consecutive Years

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.
