The High Five Awards recognize advertising and marketing pros of any age from Summit, Stark, Portage, Wayne and Mahoning Counties that go above and beyond the 9-to-5 workday in big and small ways. Maybe they come in early or leave work late, or maybe they show knowledge and experience well beyond their years in the industry.
Congratulations to this year’s High Five Awards recipients!
