“We are pleased that our work to increase employee engagement has been recognized as being among the best in the nation,” said Dan Tipton, president and CEO of Tipton Communications. “We are very proud of the quality of our design work, which is so important to our ability to effectively deliver messages for our clients.”
Tipton was recognized for the creativity, effectiveness, and practicality of its publication design for the Carpenter Connections employee publication, which Tipton developed in concert with Carpenter Technology’s communications team.
“We have always known—and our clients have long recognized—that the work produced by our creative director Karen White and her team is consistently outstanding,” Tipton said. “But it is very nice to have that work singled out for honor by a nationwide panel of design experts.”
