How Did Innovative Group Earn Company of the Year?
With so many applicants, how did IG differentiate from the seemingly endless stream of agencies out there? The key to this answer is their people. The “family first” environment captures the creative talents from our industry expert team and fuels their insatiable entrepreneurial appetite to lead IG into waters never thought navigable.
