The Brownsville Public Utilities Board (BPUB) Communications and Marketing Division was recognized with three Platinum Hermes Creative Awards, the competition’s highest honor presented for its innovative approach to connecting with customers.

The international competition received more than 6,000 submissions from organizations and communications professionals across the United States, Canada and 29 other countries.

The division earned Platinum awards for its social media strategy, Refreshing Community Connection through Social Media; its corporate brand refresh; and the Big Public Utilities Bash. The three awards represent the new approach to how the utility connects with its community, moving beyond traditional communications to experiences that are more engaging, educational, and customer-centered.

“I’m proud of the incredible work our Communications and Marketing Division is doing to rethink how we connect with our customers. It’s making a difference,” BPUB General Manager and CEO Marilyn D. Gilbert said. “They continue to find new ways to make our messages clear, accessible, and meaningful to the community we serve. That creativity is helping us build stronger relationships with our customers.”

Presented by the Association of Marketing and Communication Professionals, the Hermes Creative Awards recognize excellence in marketing, communications, and media. Each year, the competition attracts thousands of submissions representing industries ranging from corporate communications and advertising to public relations, design, and media production.
