Sagent Wins Big With Caltrans "Be Alert" Public Awareness Campaign
Sagent, a California social marketing agency, won awards from PRSA and ARTBA for a driver awareness campaign designed to improve safety conditions for highway workers.
Sacramento, CA, March 1, 2016 (Newswire.com) - Sagent (formerly ProProse), the Sacramento-based social marketing agency, was recognized by the Public Relations Society of America (PRSA) and the American Road and Transportation Builders Association (ARTBA) for its “Be Alert” Caltrans campaign.
The two professional organizations independently bestowed honors upon Sagent and its partner, Glass Agency, for development and management of the multi-media campaign. The awards included a 2015 PRSA Influencer Award for External Community Relations Campaign and top national honors from the ARTBA.
"We are so pleased to be recognized by PRSA and ARTBA for our work on the "Be Alert" campaign for Caltrans. Creating campaigns that positively impact our community is at the core of what we do, and it's truly an honor to be recognized for this influential work."
