Recognition for the platform's work showcasing Eau Claire and its local business community.
Grow Eau Claire has been recognized with a 2026 Communicator Award for it’s work showcasing Eau Claire and its local business community.
The award recognizes the video storytelling site produced by The Post House, developed in collaboration with the City of Eau Claire Economic Development Division, Four Peas Consulting and JB Systems.
And the best part? The recognition is especially meaningful because the award was earned for the earlier version of the Grow Eau Claire platform—before we added the latest round of improvements and expanded features.
Since then, Grow Eau Claire has evolved beyond just an info site to learn more about the portal, and has become a more complete community marketing platform, with new features like business spotlights on the main site, stronger navigation and searchability, expanded sponsorship opportunities, improved marketing benefits for participating businesses, and new ways to connect visitors with the businesses and organizations that make Eau Claire unique.
In other words, the award recognized where Grow Eau Claire started. The platform you’re looking at now represents the next generation of that work. And we’re excited to introduce it to you.
