JWA Wins Award of Distinction

John Wayne Airport received the 2024 Excellence in Public Information & Communications Award of Distinction from the California Association of Public Information Officials (CAPIO). The “Marketing Plan Campaign” award was received for the Airport’s “100 Years of Flight” celebration.

The Airport developed a marketing and communications campaign to celebrate 100 Years of Flight in Orange County. A detailed plan was created, and a year-long program with commemorative branding for marketing materials and giveaways was implemented. A historical timeline display was installed at the Riley Terminal, and a press event and multiple guest experience, community, and employee outreach events were held.

With a competitive field and more than 400 entries statewide, the CAPIO annual EPIC awards program recognizes the most creative and effective efforts in the areas of communication and marketing campaigns, newsletter production, photography, special events, writing, website development, and video production.
