You’ve got mail! If you didn’t already know, we’re gonna be shaking things up for the Capital Awards this year in the most fly way.
Proudly sponsored by our home skillets over at zag, we are celebrating the invention and growth of the World Wide Web. Did you know all the awesome things you can do with it? Effective marketing, visual communications and 24/7 engagement with a super wide audience, among other gains.
We all know 2020 was a bleak year, but we resilient communicators always come slingin’ back up like a yo-yo. Since last year’s program was unfortunately cancelled, your work can date back to January 2019. Two whole years of progress – let’s see how far you’ve come!
What did you learn in the last two years? Which ideas are you most proud of? Did you work on any special projects during COVID-19? Here are a few reasons to participate in the Capital Awards 2021:
Realize that you’re da bomb dot com
Are you an ambitious student? A determined new communications practitioner? A focused mid-level practitioner? A senior communications pro?
