Recipients of this quarter's Alli Engineering Awards were given a unique hourglass award that not only signifies their efforts but underscores PMG’s vision to be the most respected global independent digital company powered by technology and amazing people. The hourglass serves as a poignant reminder that the window to fully embrace artificial intelligence (AI) and emerging technologies is quickly narrowing as the industry continues to evolve. In celebration of these honorees, we hosted an incredibly fun awards ceremony and event in the PMG Dallas Office with the entire team.
