Since day one, Elevation has been a family–– operating with a deep sense of kinship, joy and loyalty, and a coursing undercurrent of love. It’s a theme that stretches beyond our employees, to our contractors, partners, and clients alike. And, after more than 23 years in business, our familial footprint is vast.
As we wrap up 2024, we’d like to take some time to reflect on some of the biggest moments and milestones that proved once again: family elevates everything.
Amanda and Harrison, ESTA Account Executives, traveled across the border to attend the Eastern Canada Travel Industry Summit, hosted by the Association of Canadian Travel Agents. Their mission was to update Canadian travel industry professionals on the latest U.S. entry requirements for non-Canadian passport holders. The energetic duo shared key updates on the Visa Waiver Program, built valuable connections with industry partners, and couldn’t help but fall in love with the vibrant city of Toronto. The two highlights of the trip? Breakfast at Tim Horton’s and Harrison convincing Amanda that the CN Tower was actually named the “Drake Tower.”
Elevation traveled to Miami last month to film an exciting new campaign for our clients at CMS, highlighting the Special Enrollment Period (SEP). This vital program allows Americans to sign up for health insurance outside the standard Open Enrollment Period, ensuring coverage during some of life’s most pivotal moments—whether joyful or challenging. From moving and getting married to welcoming a new baby, adopting a child, or unexpectedly losing health coverage, SEP provides a safety net when it’s needed most. We’re honored to play a role in raising awareness for this important initiative, helping people stay protected through life’s highs and lows.
Elevation is thrilled about Harrison’s big move to Chicago! While we’ll miss seeing him in the office every day, we feel incredibly fortunate that he will still be part of our family. We can’t wait to hear about his adventures as he embarks on this exciting new chapter!
This year marks the 100th Anniversary of the U.S. Border Patrol, an agency with a vast and challenging mission and a workforce that embodies honor, commitment, and courage. For nearly 20 years, the Elevation team has had the unique privilege of working alongside many of these dedicated men and women.
The team attended the conference, put on by U.S. Travel Association, with our clients at U.S. Customs and Border Protection to promote the Visa Waiver Program. As they continued to spread awareness of the program, they scored the opportunity for ESTA Branch Chief, Macharia Davis, to record an episode of Brand USA’s “Talks Travel” Podcast.
There’s never a dull day at the U.S. Travel Association’s IPW Conference. This year’s conference included California vibes, live music from the legendary Diana Ross, and opportunities to participate in insightful podcasts & panels.
Account Executives, Amanda and Harrison, headed to L.A. to promote the Visa Waiver Programand make key connections with industry stakeholders. IPW once again reminded us what it truly means to “work hard, play hard”.
Today and all days moving forward, our heart and soul will cry. The passing of our beloved founder, brother and light – leaves an indescribable crevasse, simply too deep to comprehend. Matt Herath, represented the greatest of humanity, inspiration, whit, intelligence, passion, creativity, talent and love. His light will NEVER stop guiding and influencing all we do and represent. WE LOVE YOU MATT – MAY THE ANGELS WELCOME YOU HOME.
Elevation Creative Director, Ron Huey, explains the energy and inspiration behind our powerful “Phone Face” ads for the Visa Waiver Program powered by ESTA. These ads are a testament that client trust + innovative ability = top-notch creative.
Elevation is once again honored to be recognized by GrowthLab’s report of the top 100 marketing communications firms serving U.S. federal agencies. This year, Elevation is proud to be ranked in three different categories and to be named the #1 Small Business.
Another successful client conference down! ITB Berlin 2024 is a wrap. The conference hosted over 5,500 exhibitors from 170 countries this year, along with over 100,000 attendees and travel representatives. Senior Account Executive, Amanda, headed to Germany with our clients at the Visa Waiver Program powered by ESTA to inform travelers about the program, talk about the NEW ESTA mobile app, and meet with stakeholders.
What can we say? We love Elevation! Senior Account Executive, Amanda Mahon, shares how her favorite part of working at Elevation is also what makes her proudest to work here. With a background in agency work, Amanda’s passion for relationship-building has helped her build meaningful relationships with her clients.
