IMI
Promoting your future.
The ad on the back cover is one of many IMI ads now appearing in leading U.S. and Canadian magazines. But IMI promotion only begins there. Here are just a few of the ways IMI is promoting your future:
• 22 million viewers watched IMI's award-winning commercial on NBC's Stanley Cup Hockey Playoffs the first national TV advertising in masonry history.
• IMI ads reached 3 million people in Newsweek magazine and 500,000 saw our ads in Executive Newsweek, a special edition for top decision makers.
• The top design and construction magazines feature IMI ads every month-reaching more than 250,000 architects, engineers, builders and investors.
• IMI produces and distributes valuable materials to fill requests from thousands of people who see our ads.
• IMI has launched an architectural school program to insure that the next generation of architects understands masonry.
IMI was created by the International Union of Bricklayers & Allied Craftsmen and the Mason Contractors Association of America to increase jobs and opportunities for the masonry industry.
How much more can IMI do? That depends on you. If your group is already participating in IMI, make sure it continues. If it isn't, find out why. Give your support to IMI. IMI supports you.
