The Town of Minto has been awarded a Marketing Canada Award by the Economic Developers Association of Canada. The town earned the award in the Brand Identity category for its Move to Minto branding campaign.
Chief Executive Officer of EDAC Penny Gardiner, Ec.D., said, “The Association recognizes that marketing a community is an integral part of the economic development profession, therefore provides The Marketing Canada Awards competition as an opportunity to exchange and review promotional and marketing material produced by municipalities across the country. This awards program is open to those organizations that undertake to promote and market Canadian provinces, territories, regions, cities, towns and areas with a view to improving the economic well being of Canadians.”
The Move to Minto campaign puts a twist on Minto’s municipal tagline to remind residents and future residents that “You Belong Here” emphasizing the importance of inclusivity, welcoming atmosphere, and sense of belonging felt within the community.
The Town of Minto would like to thank Heather Watterworth of Creative Worth Branding & Design for her
work on the Move to Minto Brand Identity, including the redesign of movetominto.ca, brand identity
and guideline package, billboard update, and Residents Prospectus.
