​The agency’s Communications team brought home a First Place Award in the Social Media Campaign category for its marketing campaign which educated the public on the ease of use of its vehicle registration ATM-style kiosks located in Publix Supermarkets throughout the county, which allow vehicle owners the convenience to instantly renew their vehicle registration.
