DCC wins international communications award for annual recognition ceremony

DCC has been honoured with a Gold Quill Award for communications excellence from the International Association of Business Communicators (IABC).

The DCC Communications Team was recognized with this international award (special events category) for their work on the hour-long 2023 National Awards ceremony video.

The bilingual video features pre-recorded greetings from employees and award presentations by managers and executives. The segments were filmed across Canada and in overseas locations where DCC employees are deployed.

The IABC judges were impressed by how the video, which was broadcast to the entire company, with employees watching in groups or on their own, met or exceeded the meaningful goals the project team had set. These included portraying an inclusive image of the organization, capturing employees’ hearts and minds, and showcasing employee engagement—in the video itself, in viewership and in the chat.

IABC has presented awards to communications professionals around the world for more than 40 years. While DCC has been honoured at the local and at the national levels before, this is the first time DCC has won an international IABC award.
