Grow Here 2017 Employer Image Campaign Kicks Off
AWB’s 2017 Grow Here employer image campaign
launched in February with a series of TV spots
during the 89th annual Academy Awards telecast.
This year’s multi-media campaign features
M3 Biotechnology, Alaffia and The McGregor
Company.
In 2016, Grow Here highlighted the good work
and environmental efforts of three employers:
Rite in the Rain, Schilling Cider and Nucor Steel
Seattle. The campaign included print and online ads, videos on Hulu and Pandora, and AWB’s first-ever television spots.
Grow Here strives to humanize employers by highlighting their efforts to give back to the communities they serve, and illustrate that employers
do more than just enhance Washington’s economy and provide jobs.
