IISG wins two Apex Awards of Excellence

June 18th, 2015 by

We are happy to announce that APEX 2015 bestowed the Award of Excellence to two IISG projects.

Anjanette Riley, Erin Knowles, and Joel Davenport received a “Social Media – Special Purpose” prize for iamIISG, an undertaking that involved 33 employees throughout all of IISG’s locations. Program staffers were interviewed and photographed to provide insight into who we are for a social media campaign on Facebook and Twitter.

The other honor, “Electronic Media – Green,” went to Kristin TePas, Allison Neubauer, and Jason Brown for a video series that took a behind-the-scenes look at marine careers. The nine videos – viewed over 1,000 times – explored the professions of individuals aboard the U.S. EPA research vessel, the Lake Guardian.
