Case Undergrad Admissions Rocks!!!

The results of the 2006 Admissions Marketing Report - an annual award competition judging everything from TV ads to brochures and websites to magazines - have been released.

Case took the Gold Award for Total Recruitment Package.

Plus, we were among a few Gold Award winners from all categories to be named Best in Show. According to the site, this recognition means that we “exhibited the highest production standards, creativity and professionalism,” and “captured the attention and admiration of our panel of judges.”

The report is available in PDF.

So in other words, the Marketing Team in the Office of Undergraduate Admissions rocks!!!

As many of you know, my last job was often less than satisfying. I'm unbelievably happy to be part of a great and very supportive team. Thanks to Lisa for organizing endless photoshoots and being my outgoing self when necessary. Thanks to Cindy for great (and brand-compliant) design. And thanks to Bob for... well just being a great manager and a great guy. (And I was very impressed by your response to this win; I never expected to see you fall to your knees and pull up your shirt a la Brandi Chastain while singing "We are the Champions" in the middle of our office. It's a pity your shirt got hung up on your tie.)

Now I'm going to indulge in a totally immodest moment. Thanks to me!!! This package has been around for a couple years and has taken silver the last two. I'm what's different this year, so I must have made the difference.

Next year, we're going to totally rock their socks off. The intro piece is out, the first set of brochures is off to the printer, and every time Kim, our new designer, sends me a layout, I cry for how good she makes my copy look.
