New city communications director pitches social‑media expansion, cross‑agency outreach
Summary
Megan Delaney, the city’s new director of communications, outlined staff expansions on social media, alignment with the city's five‑year strategic plan, and promised to explore lawful ways to increase awareness of the Centennial license plate and Channel 2 accessibility.
Megan Delaney, the city’s new director of communications, introduced herself to the Centennial Commission and described immediate changes since joining the city in March, including converting two part‑time roles into two full‑time social‑media positions and a reallocation of marketing to align with the city’s newly adopted five‑year strategic plan.
"Again, I've been here since March... One of the things I was able to do, immediately upon joining, was take 2 part time positions on my team and 2 full time positions," Delaney said, describing the staffing changes aimed at improving digital engagement. She said the office now focuses marketing spending on the city’s four priority areas — housing and homelessness, economic development, public safety and health care — to ensure messaging supports city goals.
Commissioners asked for short-term options to boost license‑plate awareness and whether the parade and other videos could be better surfaced on the Centennial website. Delaney said she would work with commission staff and the city’s communications team to identify lawful promotional avenues and to improve access to Channel 2 and embedded videos. She also flagged a technical issue with embedded YouTube videos across the city site and said IT is working on a fix.
