SWTA Announces 35th Annual Spotlight Awards Winners
Seven public transit agencies throughout the SWTA nation took home Spotlight Awards during the 2022 Summer University conference in Rogers, AK.
The award entries – reviewed and judged by marketing and communication professionals at transit agencies and private marketing firms – are among the oldest awards recognizing marketing campaigns and projects in the public transportation industry, first awarded in 1990. Winners are selected from submissions in categories of different-sized transit systems and for multi-platform marketing campaigns along with specific print, electronic, social and event media projects.
Representatives from the marketing and communications departments of the agencies listed below shared details of their award-winning campaigns and projects on Tuesday, July 26th at 10:00 a.m. (Central) as part of SWTA’s 2022 Summer University Conference.
“The SWTA Spotlight Awards represent a great and long-standing tradition in the SWTA Nation in recognizing the outstanding work our members do in communicating their services, events and innovations while reinforcing that transit matters everywhere, especially in our part of the country,” said SWTA Executive Director Rich Sampson. “We were please to present these awards for 2022 and hear the winners’ share the details of their award-winning campaigns.”
