About Communications and Brand Management
It’s ALWAYS happening at the Communications and Brand Management Department, and while we’re excellent at keeping information confidential we’re even better as getting it OUT there once the embargo is lifted. Talking about the City is our business and we do it with great gusto and enthusiasm.
Simply put, our role is two-fold:
To provide strategic leadership on matters related to communications, brand marketing and stakeholder engagement
To showcase the City’s projects and achievements to build the reputation of the brand
