The City of Waukee was the Silver Circle Award Winner in the 2019 Savvy Awards competition in the category: Digital Interactive – Electronic Newsletter. The Waukee Marketing & Communications Department worked to redesign and relaunch the City’s bi-monthly newsletter in late 2018 with goals to make it more mobile-friendly, align branding and ensure newsletter users were receiving important information in a concise manner. Savvy Awards judges noted that the new design was an “awesome improvement from the past to the current! The layout is great and the GIFs really add to the consumable content. It is a really mobile-friendly layout. This is a great looking e-newsletter! I love the bold colors, and the short, to the point content.” The Savvy Awards, held in conjunction with 3CMA’s Annual Conference, recognize outstanding local government achievements in communications, public-sector marketing and citizen-government relationships. The Savvies salute skilled and effective city, county, agency or district professionals who have creatively planned and carried out successful innovations in communications and marketing. 3CMA accommodates local government organizations of all sizes and budget classes by judging entries in several different population groups.
