Branding Training
Communications and Marketing, in partnership with a Largo marketing firm, The Go Agency, hosted the City's first ever brand training session on June 1st at Creative Pinellas. Over twenty staff members from various departments learned about the importance of brand integration and the positive financial impact it can have on a city. Participants walked away with a branding checklist including questions to consider when embarking on a new project, sharing information publicly or working on the website. Attendees were charged to become brand ambassadors and help support the City in all efforts towards becoming the community of choice in Tampa Bay. Communications & Marketing will continue to work city-wide to support departments and program representatives to find ways to incorporate the new brand in their messaging and material.

Florida League of Cities Environmental Award
The Florida League of Cities recognized the City of Largo for paving the way for innovation and excellence in Environmental Stewardship.
Largo was recently announced as the 2018 winner of the 10th Annual Florida Municipal Achievement Awards, taking the top spot in the Environmental Stewardship Award for its annual Freecycle Event. During this event City staff collect items donated from residents and create a "marketplace" featuring items such as clothing, books, school supplies, kids toys and more. Residents are then invited to 'shop' for free where they are given a recycled, reusable bag, helping to provide them with needed resources and keeping items out of the landfill.
"For the past decade, the Florida Municipal Achievement Awards have recognized cities that create standout programs to better serve their communities" said Tallahassee City Commissioner and Florida League of Cities President Gil Ziffer. "These programs are perfect examples of cities at work, and the League is proud to recognize this year's award winners for their success."
