WESTMINSTER, Colo., May 22, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Coalfire, a trusted provider of cybersecurity advisory and assessment services, announced it received a 2019 Silver Award from the Colorado Chapter of the Business Marketing Association (BMA) and American Marketing Association (AMA) for its submission of their tradeshow booth design, "Coalfire, Cybersecurity in Graffiti," under the Tradeshow category. Coalfire and their creative branding agency, Burns Marketing, received the award at the annual Fourteeners Awards gala Friday, May 10 at the historic Kirk of Highland in Denver, Colo.

The creative booth display was featured at Black Hat in Las Vegas in the summer of 2018, receiving both attendee and media attention. In order to create a gritty but approachable space, the booth backdrop was covered in graffiti (a style that would resonate with the show's demographic), which highlighted words relevant to the cybersecurity market.

"To be truly authentic, we leveraged hand-sprayed graffiti drawn in cybersecurity themes," said Holly Doucette, Senior Manager, Events, Coalfire. "We encouraged interaction with attendees through real-time demos and a 'pick the lock' challenge – the perfect activity for the event audience."

The Fourteeners (formerly the Gold Key Award) is recognized as Colorado's most prestigious competition dedicated solely to marketing excellence. Categories included both B2B- and B2C-focused work. This year saw more than 100 submissions from some of the state's top businesses and agencies. A panel of 12 independent judges from across the country, representing agency and corporate marketing professionals, scored entries in more than 40 categories on objectives, creativity, production and results.
