ElectriCities wins two awards for outstanding communications from American Public Power Association
RALEIGH (OCT. 30, 2019) — An uplifting video produced by ElectriCities of North Carolina that highlights the dedication of public power lineworkers has won an award of excellence from the American Public Power Association’s Excellence in Public Power Communications Awards. ElectriCities won a second award for the redesign of its website last year.
The annual awards, presented at a national conference this week in New Orleans, recognize utilities that demonstrate outstanding work in print, digital, web, social media, and video communications.
“Our public power communities have important and inspiring stories to tell. I’m so proud of our team for bringing those stories to life and promoting the value that public power brings to North Carolina communities,” said Michelle Vaught, ElectriCities Vice President of Communications. “We work hard to clearly and creatively communicate the value of public power and this recognition is a testament to that hard work paying off.”
ElectriCities partnered with Centerline Digital, a digital communications firm based in Raleigh, on both projects.
