at Airports Council International conference

Recognized in 2012's Excellence in Marketing and Communications Contest

SAN DIEGO-June 14, 2012-The San Diego County Regional Airport Authority received two first-place wins and a second-place finish at last week's Airports Council International -North America (ACI-NA) Marketing and Communications Conference in Sacramento.
The Airport Authority was recognized in the categories of Creative Innovations-Promotional Items; Public Relations Campaigns; and Airport Aviation and Education Programs.
According to ACI-NA, 250 entries from nearly 50 airports and airport authorities were submitted for the
2012 Excellence in Marketing and Communications Contest.
The Airport Authority's first-place win in the Creative Innovations-Promotional Items category was for its work with San Diego's School of Performing and Creative Arts and lead artist Isaias Crow in developing a mural for Junior Achievement's BizTown. The mural, San Diego International Airport and Beyond ,

The first-place win in the Public Relations Campaign category came for the public outreach for the largest improvement project in San Diego International Airport's history, The Green Build. The detailed campaign, still ongoing, utilizes traditional media, social media, stakeholder outreach and community updates to keep the public informed as construction progresse s on The Green Build.
