The Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (PUC) received a 2018 MarCom Gold Award, an international award for creative communications, for its #UtilityCareers campaign.
The PUC created the campaign to highlight the types of utility careers available in Pennsylvania and encourage more individuals of various ages and backgrounds to consider careers in the utility sector.
“We are honored that this year’s MarCom award recognizes the PUC’s #UtilityCareers campaign and our collaborative effort to highlight this important workforce development issue,” PUC Chairman Gladys M. Brown said. “The PUC is committed to our public service mission, and we are grateful that our team of dedicated communications professionals has again been selected as among the best in the industry.”
Judges chose the 2018 MarCom award winners from more than 6,500 worldwide entries. MarCom is sponsored and judged by the Association of Marketing and Communication Professionals (AMCP).
The #UtilityCareers campaign was honored alongside the American Heart Association, Comcast, Hilton Worldwide, IBM, Microsoft, National Geographic, Nissan North America, PepsiCo, and the PGA Tour.
Additional MarCom Gold Award winners from Pennsylvania include Temple University Health System, Fox Chase Cancer Center, Villanova School of Business, the American College of Physicians, the Pennsylvania State Employees Credit Union (PSECU), the Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency, FedEx and the Carnegie Museum of Natural History.
