The one Quill has been awarded for the category Employee/Member communication for the project named ‘Preparing Child Welfare Tshwane internally for external greatness'. The other category won is Brand Communication, with the project named ‘A Social Brand Transformation – to care for communities'.
After DevCom won these two categories in the IABC African region in the communication management division in October last year, it automatically qualified for the international awards and went on to win it. Previous winners in the communication management division include Heineken, Unilever, McDonald's and Eskom.
DevCom is a Gauteng-based communication agency using the power of communication to transform the social profit industry. They work with non-profit and for-profit clients using business communication skills to prepare them internally for external greatness and cross the communication gap with creativity and effectiveness.
