The Santa Clarita Valley Economic Development Corp. was awarded a Gold Excellence in Economic Development Award for the 2016 “Still Golden Campaign.”

“On behalf of the IEDC board of directors and Excellence in Economic Development Awards Advisory Committee, congratulations to SCVEDC,” said Barry Matherly, president and CEO of the Greater Richmond Partnership.

SCVEDC’s Still Golden marketing campaign invested in the creation of new brochures, themes and videos capturing the Santa Clarita Valley’s lifestyle. These media were deployed through print, billboard and digital advertising and social media.

The campaign is adaptable to specific announcements, such as the announcement of Logix Federal Credit Union relocating its headquarters to the Santa Clarita Valley.

This multimedia campaign strengthens the identity of the SCV as as the place where companies can prosper in a diverse and resilient economy.

The honor was presented at an awards ceremony Tuesday, Sept. 27, during the IEDC Annual Conference, which was held on Sept. 25-28 in Cleveland, Ohio.

“Not only did they work to provide a necessary service to their community,” Matherly said, “but also, their participation in the awards program sheds light on their stellar projects which other communities can now use a benchmark.”
