The City of Arlington received seven awards from the national organization, City-County Communications: Marketing Association, or 3CMA, for outstanding work done by the Office of Communications and Parks and Recreation marketing team.

The American Dream City was one of the top award winners in the nation for 2015 said Jay Warren, Marketing Communication Manager for the City of Arlington. According to the 3CMA website, more than 700 award entries in 36 categories were received.

Among the seven awarded to the City of Arlington, four were 1st place awards, two were 2nd place awards, and one was a 3rd place award.

Warren said it means a lot to his department to be recognized nationally for their hard work on the City of Arlington's brand.

'A brand for the City had been a dream for many years, becoming a reality in June of 2014 with the launch of Arlington: The American Dream City," Warren said. 'With these awards, our work on the brand and other projects is being recognized by our peers from across the country. But, perhaps even more gratifying is how our own community has embraced this brand."
