The City of Merriam received an Award of Excellence from the City-County Communications & Marketing Association (3CMA) for its Highlights and Recreation magazine.
3CMA announced the 2019 Savvy Award winners at its national conference in Denver, Colorado on Sept. 5. This is the second year in a row Merriam has received this award from 3CMA. Our Highlights and Recreation magazine is mailed out to all Merriam residents and businesses three times a year.
The Savvy Awards recognizes local government achievements in communications, marketing, and citizen-government relationships. 3CMA said 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 received more than 700 entries in 40 categories. Savvy Awards, Silver Circle Awards, and Awards of Excellence are handed out in each category. They accommodate local government organizations of all sizes, budget classes, and of different population groups. A list of all award winners is available at 3cma.org.
