The International Association of Business Communicators recognized Cranston Engineering in two categories during their annual Palmetto Awards. Cranson’s 50th Anniversary Brochure was given an Award of Merit for Publications, and their Take It To The Streets Block Party received an Award of Excellence for Special Events, the highest statewide award in the category.

Cranston Engineering Group has worked on some of the Central Savannah River Area’s most notable structures. From the Augusta Riverwalk to the engineering of bridges and roadways at Hilton Head’s Palmetto Dunes, the group of civil and structural engineers has played a vital role in many communities. Cranston was excited about celebrating 50 years, and decided to kick off the celebration with an updated identity. They employed the Alison South Marketing Group to create their signature event, "Take it to the Streets Block Party, “ and to design a 50^th anniversary logo that was unveiled during the event. Alison South also helped them in creating a signature invitation, a brochure about their history and branded every piece of the party from street signs to corn hole boards.
