Vision One Sponsors the Public Sector Communications Awards

Vision One is proud to announce its sponsorship of this year’s Public Sector Communications Conference & Awards – September 2017, London.

Since its inception, Vision One have been working closely with Public Sector organisations and the marketing agencies that support them (see Social Market Research services)- so we thought it would be good to give something back by supporting these communication awards. Now in its fifth year, the event will feature a fantastic afternoon conference with a number of high-profile speakers, followed by a drinks reception, 3-course dinner and the all-important Public Sector Communications awards ceremony in the evening.

The communications awards element of the event will celebrate and reward excellent communication strategies and campaigns, teams and individuals in local and national government, emergency services and not-for-profit bodies from across the UK. There are over 20 categories up for the awards, including a few of the following…
