Mankato, Minnesota, June 19, 2025 — ISG has received national recognition in the 2025 Zweig Group Marketing Excellence Awards. Amongst the most competitive and respected awards, they celebrate the creativity, strategy, and impact of marketing teams across the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry.

ISG received top rankings in three standout categories:

Each winning entry was evaluated by an external panel of senior marketing professionals and recognized for excellence in messaging, design, and measurable results.

"ISG’s brand is our people, and these awards are a testament to the exceptional work our employee owners deliver for clients and communities,” said Abby Gram, Vice President of Marketing at ISG. “Our marketing professionals are intentional in how they communicate, knowing that words, visuals, and stories shape meaningful experiences.”

In addition to its marketing achievements, ISG was recognized by Zweig Group on two other nationally ranked lists:

  • 2025 Best Firms To Work For – Recognizing outstanding workplace culture
  • 2025 Hot Firm List – Honoring the fastest-growing firms in the U.S. and Canada

Earning the Zweig Group Trifecta each year since the program’s launch, ISG stands among a select group of firms recognized for sustained excellence across marketing, culture, and growth. “This recognition fuels our passion,” said Abby Gram, “and gives us the momentum to keep doing what we do best— making a difference.”

ISG’s ability to stand out among peers stems from its 100% employee-owned model and collaborative, cross-disciplinary approach. The strength of ISG’s marketing team lies in the talent and creativity of its people. Their collaborative mindset and deep alignment with the firm’s values not only drive impactful work, but also create the opportunity to take on bold, meaningful initiatives.
