Are you a marketer? Make yourself visible!

When we think of the construction industry, the last thing that springs to mind is probably a professional who, through conscious, strategic and value-based communication, helps to improve the industry’s reputation, professional prestige and public image. The Építési Vállalkozók Országos Szakszövetsége (ÉVOSZ) Media Section will, in 2024,

established the Construction Industry Marketing and Communications Awards to highlight the fact that communication and marketing in the construction industry are key elements in the sector’s development.

This would enable the sector to be recognised as part of the creative industries, with a view to encouraging even more outstanding professionals to choose a career in the construction industry. 

Following the positive response, the Media Division is launching the competition for the third time to further encourage industry players’ value-creating work in the field of marketing communications through these awards.

Investing in marketing is an investment in the future

„Through well-planned, credible and transparent communication, we are not only building individual companies” brands, but we can also improve the public perception of the entire sector” – emphasised Péter Kincses, Chair of the Media Section of ÉVOSZ.

„We need to showcase the people behind the projects, technological progress, innovation and the value that the construction industry creates day in, day out. To do this, we need skilled communications professionals, creative solutions and companies that recognise the importance of this.
