As the year wraps up, we’re reflecting on what an incredible journey 2024 has been for Brick Media. From new initiatives and team accomplishments to exciting client milestones and awards, this year has been one for the books. Here are our top 10 moments from 2024 that made it so special:
1. A New Home in Historic Ybor City
This year, we transitioned to an Industrious office location in Ybor City! The welcoming Industrious team made the move seamless, and we’re excited to be renewing our membership for 2025. We have also enjoyed being surrounded by unique small businesses and immersed in the vibrant culture of Ybor!
2. Launching Three Team-Led Committees
To foster growth both within our team and outreach efforts the community, we launched these three committees:
- The Wellness Committee focuses on supporting our team’s well-being by encouraging open dialogue and fostering a healthy work-life balance.
- The Community Impact Committee works to plan team volunteering events with local organizations such as Feeding Tampa Bay and The Spring of Tampa Bay as well as find other ways we can support the community.
- The Brick Campus Connect Committee drives our university relations efforts. Through internships, mentorships, office tours, webinars, and campus visits, we’ve been able to connect with local colleges and inspire the next generation of marketing professionals.
3. Winning Tampa Magazine’s Best of the City Award
For the third year in a row, we were honored with Tampa Magazine’s Best of the City award in the Social Media Marketing category. We are so grateful for the support from our clients and the community who voted!
4. Partnering with the Tampa Bay Sun Football Club
Earlier this year, we had the exciting opportunity to help launch the Tampa Bay Sun Football Club brand on social media. Collaborating with Tampa’s newest professional soccer team to build their social presence before their inaugural season was an honor, and we’re proud to have played a part in building their brand.
5. Small Business of the Year Finalists
For the second consecutive year, we were finalists for the Tampa Bay Chamber’s Small Business of the Year Award. While we didn’t take home the trophy, being recognized alongside such amazing local businesses is a win in itself.
6. Creating Viral Moments for Our Clients
Every year, our creativity grows more and more. This is evident as we helped multiple clients achieve viral success this year. Whether it was through fun giveaways, trending content, or timely campaigns, we’re proud to see our hard work translate into real results for the brands we serve.
7. Brick Team Building Day
In the spring, we took a day to focus on team bonding during our Brick Team Building Day. We discussed the future of Brick Media and made multiple stops all around the city as we spent some quality time together.
8. Our New Leadership Team
We’re incredibly proud to have promoted four outstanding team members into leadership positions:
- Andrea Echeverry: Director of Accounts
- Amanda Maxim: Director of Social Media
- Brandon Munoz: Director of Production
- Morgan Alligood: Director of Growth and Operations
Their hard work and dedication have been instrumental to our success, and we’re excited to see them continue to grow in these new roles.
9. Launching the Brick Book Club
This year, we started our first-ever Brick Book Club! Together, we read Gary Vaynerchuk’s Day Trading Attention and met weekly to discuss insights and brainstorm ways to implement what we learned into our strategies. It was a great way to grow both personally and professionally.
10. Celebrating the Season with “Brickmas”
We wrapped up the year with our annual “Brickmas” happy hour event at Strandhill Public. It was the perfect way to celebrate the holiday season with our team, clients, and friends.
Thank you to everyone who has been part of our journey this year—your support inspires us to keep growing and creating. Cheers to an even brighter 2025!
