The City of Fayetteville’s Marketing and Communications Department won first place in the North Carolina City & County Communicators annual statewide competition.
The department was awarded first place at NC3C’s annual conference held this week in Concord. This is the City’s 39th NC3C Award.
The “Excellence in Communications: Promotional Video” was awarded for “A City of Fayetteville Solid Waste Christmas Story,” a video designed to inspire and entertain Fayetteville residents about solid waste.
“I want to congratulate the entire Marketing and Communications Department for a job well done,” said Assistant City Manager Jodi Phelps in a press release. “They produced a spectacular animated video that was engaging, informative and demonstrates a multitude of skills from a talented team.”
