Welcome to Public Relations, Media and Marketing
We are the "voice" that informs the city.
The City of Columbia Public Relations, Media and Marketing Department is the "voice" that informs the city of everything that happens, everything that's about to happen, and how to access virtually every service, system and opportunity available in our community.
We do a lot to keep you informed.
From information, invitations and explanations to guidance, advice, announcements and important "heads up" alerts about what's new and what's "news" - it's the Public and Media Relations Department's employees who gather the facts and do whatever it takes to get the word out to the city.
They're the city's communicators - in print and on video, at press conferences and in media releases, via e-blasts and web content, and through any other channels that suit the subject, the audience and the deadline at hand.
In short, this group is the invaluable knowledge connection that keeps everyone in touch with the fact that We Are Columbia!
