Bartlett Cocke General Contractors’ Marketing team has earned national recognition from the Society for Marketing Professional Services (SMPS), receiving a 2026 Marketing Communications Award of Excellence for the firm’s Corporate Safety Video.
The award is the highest honor for marketing in the architecture, engineering, and construction industry and recognizes exceptional achievement in professional services marketing and communications.
The 2026 national competition received more than 300 entries across all categories. Bartlett Cocke earned the top honor in one of the program’s most competitive categories, recognizing both the quality of the finished video and the collaboration required to bring the company’s safety culture to life.
Members of the team accepted the award during the national SMPS Amplify Conference at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas.
The project was a true collaboration involving Bartlett Cocke’s Marketing and Safety teams, project teams at Salado High School, Linder Elementary School, Southwest Research Institute, and Creek View High School for Medina Valley ISD, and Champ Creative, which served as the video’s production team.
Together, the teams helped communicate an important message in an authentic way: safety is a shared responsibility that depends on every person, every day, on every project.
That commitment is central to how Bartlett Cocke operates. Safety is more than a set of procedures. It is a promise to employees, trade partners, clients, and families that everyone working on a Bartlett Cocke project should return home safely each day.
