The video series aims to authentically and uniquely connect with potential employee candidates and create meaningful impressions.

Kelley Kronenberg was recognized for its careers microsite in the category that gives recognition for the design and development of firm websites, microsites, and blogs that further firm marketing and business development objectives. The winning Conversations that Matter video campaign and recruitment effort included building a niche careers microsite to anchor all of the pieces of the firm’s recruiting strategy, showcase its new recruiting videos, and raise brand awareness.

Marketing Management & Leadership – Internal Marketing: LINK – Kelley Kronenberg Intranet

Kelley Kronenberg won first place for the systematic and seamlessly executed launch of LINK, the firm’s new intranet. The LINK launch strategy earned top honors in the Marketing Management and Leadership category which evaluates internal marketing initiatives designed to foster collaboration and drive overall business objectives.  As the firm has continued to grow and diversify, Kelley Kronenberg sought to properly connect its nine offices and more than 250 personnel, easily share information, and build a stronger sense of community. LINK’s successful implementation is attributed to its engaging and creative teaser poster campaign that shared little-known, exciting tidbits about current employees that centered on “there is a lot you don’t know about your coworkers,”  a custom virtual scavenger hunt and user tutorial featuring the teaser posters and its overall thoughtful approach to branding LINK within Kelley Kronenberg.

The firm has been honored with 16 Your Honor Awards, 13 of which are first place recognition. These awards span a wide range of categories including Brand Identity, Events, Community Relations, Technology Management, Website Rebrand/Overhaul, Social Media and Engagement, and three consecutive first-place wins for Practice Development.
