EM’s rebrand wins at national communications awards show

Eagle Mountain City’s recent rebranding effort has been recognized with a first place win at the City-County Communications & Marketing Association (3CMA) Savvy Awards, held last week in Arlington, Texas.

The Savvy Awards highlight effective government communications and marketing projects.

Eagle Mountain City’s updated brand and logo competed against entries from other communities across the nation in the Best Brand/Logo category. In total, there were 1,200 submissions across 38 categories.

“This is a big moment for Eagle Mountain,” says Communications Manager Tyler Maffitt. “Having this community’s branding and marketing efforts honored on the national stage, and in an incredibly competitive environment, shows what this community has to offer.”

Introduced in January 2024 after a year of development, Eagle Mountain’s new brand was designed to better reflect the community’s identity. City staff worked throughout 2023 to create a fresh look that aligns with the community’s values and aspirations.

“We’re grateful for the recognition,” said Maffitt. “Our goal was to develop something that truly represents Eagle Mountain, and this award acknowledges the efforts of everyone involved.”

In addition to its first-place recognition for the rebrand, Eagle Mountain City also earned second place for Best Educational Video content at the 3CMA Savvy Awards for its monthly video series “Living with Wildlife.”

The series features Eagle Mountain Wildlife Biologist Todd Black and educates residents about safely co-existing with local wildlife.

“Living with Wildlife” was praised for its clear messaging and practical tips, providing valuable information in an engaging and accessible format.

“We know Eagle Mountain residents love their open spaces and deeply value the wildlife that calls the Cedar Valley home,” says Maffitt. “That we’re showing what this valley has while educating effectively about wildlife conservation efforts speaks to the balance we’re striking.”

Eagle Mountain was the only City in Utah nominated across award categories. The Savvy Awards are held annually as part of 3CMA’s annual conference.
