April 28th, 2026

Columbus, Ohio — April 23, 2026 — ContentEXP Group (CXG), a Columbus-based creative agency known for its “Cinematic Promotion” approach, has been named a Bronze Stevie® Award winner for Communications Team of the Year in The 24th Annual American Business Awards®.

The award recognizes CXG’s submission, “From Campaigns to Community: A Visually Narrative-Driven Communications System,” which highlights the company’s model of transforming traditional marketing into ongoing, story-driven communication platforms.

The American Business Awards are among the nation’s premier business awards programs, recognizing organizations of all sizes for outstanding performance in the workplace. More than 3,700 nominations were submitted this year across a wide range of industries.

“CXG provided an outstanding submission… Their model to listen, plan, engage, inform, and provide measurable outcomes takes a collaborative team effort,” noted one of the competition’s judges.

CXG’s winning work demonstrates a shift away from short-term marketing efforts toward a continuous communications system that integrates film, strategy, and analytics. The model has been applied across corporate, nonprofit, and manufacturing organizations, helping brands:

  • Increase engagement beyond industry benchmarks
  • Simplify complex messaging for broader audiences
  • Build trust through consistent, narrative-driven communication
  • Extend impact beyond digital channels into real-world engagement

Projects highlighted in the submission include corporate communications programs, mid-market business
storytelling platforms, and public-facing documentary initiatives such as Lines of Hope, a film focused on
veteran mental health and PTSD awareness.

Judges also recognized the strength of CXG’s storytelling approach and production quality, noting the effectiveness of its video-driven communication model across audiences and platforms.

The Stevie® Awards will be formally presented at the American Business Awards banquet in New York City on June 9, 2026.
