Amarillo College claims 5 prestigious national digital marketing awards

Amarillo College is pleased to announce that its Communications and Marketing Department has captured five national marketing awards – three at the topmost Gold level – from a leading authority on outstanding achievements in digital marketing for education.

The prestigious accolades come courtesy of the 12th Annual Education Digital Marketing (EDM)Awards, and AC captured Gold awards in the categories of Digital Publication—Teaching for Transformation magazine, Social Media Content Campaign—Bright Future, and Total Digital Marketing Program—Bright Future.

The College additionally claimed a Silver award for Blogs—AC News Blog, and a Merit award for Digital Publication—First Responders Academy Case for Support.

AC emerged from a pool of distinguished colleges, universities and secondary schools from across the country that combined to submit more than 1,000 entries. In the preeminent Total Digital Marketing Program category alone, AC was joined in the Gold winners circle by such luminaries as Kent State University, Michigan State University, and University of Louisville.

Submissions were reviewed and judged by a national panel of higher education marketers, advertising creative directors, and marketing and advertising professionals. Entries were evaluated for creativity, marketing execution, message impact, technology application, and innovative content.

“To be informed and assured that the digital marketing efforts of our talented and creative team are among those setting the bar nationally is not only gratifying for our department, but it’s extremely advantageous for our College, too,” said Kevin Ball, AC’s vice president of communications and marketing.

“I believe the College is poised to excel as the digital world continues to evolve because we are always willing to explore the boundaries of what is possible.”
