MANSON WINS BEST DIGITAL MEDIA CAMPAIGN AWARD
Last week, Manson’s Marketing Team received the Best Digital Media Campaign Award at the Society for Marketing Professional Services (SMPS) Seattle’s 2026 Reign Awards for its 2025 National Tradesmen Month campaign in Seattle, WA.
The campaign highlighted the skilled men and women who build, maintain, and protect America’s marine infrastructure through a flagship tribute video and a series of Career Compass blog posts focused on specific trades.
Together, these elements created a cohesive month-long campaign that celebrated the diversity, dedication, and humanity of Manson’s workforce. By educating audiences about marine construction careers and highlighting the pride behind the work, the campaign elevated the trades and reinforced their essential role in shaping America’s waterways and coastal communities.
The SMPS Seattle Reign Awards recognize firms in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction industry whose marketing assets and campaigns advance their firms’ goals and deliver impactful messages.
Way to go, Marketing!

Manson’s newest 15,000-cubic-yard (CY) self-propelled trailing suction hopper dredge, FREDERICK PAUP, is already making a meaningful impact on coastal communities in the United States of America. As a Jones Act-qualified vessel, it reflects the strength of American shipbuilding, supports U.S. maritime jobs, and reinforces the nation’s ability to maintain critical waterways and protect infrastructure with U.S.-built, U.S.-flagged, and U.S.-crewed equipment.
Built in Texas and U.S.-crewed, the FREDERICK PAUP is designed to support the long-term maintenance of federal navigation channels and public shorelines. Most recently, the vessel dredged and placed more than one million cubic yards of sand along the Gulf shoreline, including Pensacola Beach and Santa Rosa Island in Escambia County, Florida. The work helps protect a region that welcomes more than two million visitors each year, supports approximately 8,000 local jobs, and serves as home to the world-famous Blue Angels, the U.S. Navy flight demonstration team.
Following its work in Florida, the FREDERICK PAUP will continue serving communities and commerce in Mobile, Alabama, and along the Mississippi River in Louisiana. Its ongoing deployment underscores the essential role Jones Act dredges play in keeping America’s ports, waterways, and coastlines safe, navigable, and economically strong.

A Quarter Century of Dedication
Congratulations to NEWPORT Cook Stanley Madison on reaching an impressive milestone of 25 years with the organization. Earlier this week, Stanley was presented with his 25-year Manson watch.
Gulf & East Coast Hopper Dredge Manager Juan Valdez shared the following remarks, "Almost 20 years ago, Senior Vice President and Dredging Manager Mike Warwick gave us young field engineers a motivational book called ‘The Fred Factor.’ The book is about a mailman named Fred that goes above and beyond in his job duties, and it illustrates how every company would be prosperous with employees like Fred. Our 'Fred' runs the galley of the NEWPORT, and his name is Stanley “Stan” Madison.
Stan is the only cook that will get on the radio to ask how many breakfast plates to send to Manson's survey crew. Army Corps inspectors have fought over who gets assigned to the NEWPORT and who gets to experience Stan’s meatballs, po' boys, and other fine dining cuisines.”
Congratulations, Stanley!
