SAN BERNARDINO, CA— San Bernardino County proved that government communications can be as creative and compelling as the big brands in the private sector.
At the 2026 American Advertising Awards Inland Empire (the ADDYs), County Administrative Office Communications earned 12 awards: three gold and nine silver. The March 26 ceremony, held at the historic Terminal 1 at Ontario International Airport, recognizes the best in strategy, execution and storytelling in the local advertising industry.
“This recognition reflects the incredible talent of our team and partners in reimagining how we serve the public,” said Chief Communications Officer Martha Guzman-Hurtado. “We believe that clear communication is a core service. By making county information easy to understand and engaging, we are ensuring our residents stay informed, safe and connected to their community.”
County Communications earned three gold ADDYs for both life saving public safety messaging and strong community pride storytelling.
