Collab Architecture Honored at 2025 SMPS Colorado Marketing Excellence Awards

Collab Architecture was recognized at the 2025 SMPS Colorado Marketing Excellence Awards, held at Balistreri Vineyards in Denver. Hosted by the Society for Marketing Professional Services (SMPS) Colorado, the event celebrates outstanding achievements in marketing and business development within the AEC industry.

We’re proud to share that Jordan Lockner received the 2025 SMPS Firm Leader of the Year award, honoring his commitment to elevating marketing within firm leadership and fostering a collaborative, strategy-driven culture at Collab.

In addition to this recognition, Collab’s marketing team earned two project-based awards:

• One for the 2024 Bowling for Soup fundraising event, which brought together AEC industry partners across Northern Colorado to raise $10,000 and collect over 400 pounds of food and essential items for the Food Bank for Larimer County.
• One for our 2024 Holiday Client Presentation Package, recognized for its thoughtful, creative approach to client engagement and year-end appreciation.

During the event, Jordan Lockner also had the honor of presenting the SMPS Marketer of the Year award on behalf of Holly Fink, who was selected as the 2024 honoree and was originally slated to present this year’s award.

The atmosphere at the Balistreri Vineyards was full of energy and creativity, as firms from across Colorado gathered to celebrate the power of marketing to shape relationships, strengthen firms, and support impactful work. We’re grateful to SMPS Colorado for the recognition and proud to be part of a community that continues to raise the bar.

Thank you to the Unfound Door for sharing great photos from this year’s event!
