Charlotte Communication and Marketing

​Charlotte Communication & Marketing

Charlotte, one of the 25 largest cities in the U.S. and the largest city in North Carolina, is a fast-growing, fast-moving city. Nearly 800,000 people live and work here, and millions more visit Charlotte every year to enjoy professional sports, fine dining and exceptional shopping, study at our universities, receive excellent care at our hospitals, and explore the outdoors.

The Queen City's audiences want effective, accurate and fast information, as well as ways to share thoughts and concerns with City employees, department leaders and elected officials.

From storytelling to public affairs, community engagement to marketing and creative services, web services to video production, Charlotte Communications and Marketing's professional, talented team members provide a multitude of ways to share effective messaging across a variety of communications channels.

The department is organized into six areas, all focused on providing guidance and assistance to tell Charlotte's stories.
