June 1, 2018 - The Office of Enrollment Services Communication and Marketing (ESCM) won two Crystal Awards from the Houston chapter of the American Marketing Association.
With hundreds of submissions in eighty-seven categories, the awards are results-driven and are given out to businesses and organizations from around the greater Houston area. The judges include past AMA presidents, central marketing officers, and senior marketers from various industries outside the region.
The first award won by the ESCM team was in the Marketing Campaign for Non-Profit In-House category for the successful “Let’s Define” campaign for the University of Houston Office of Admissions. The campaign, launched in 2017, included various print and digital media, and was geared toward attracting and engaging new students. Some of the components, specifically the Spotify playlist, were firsts for a recruitment campaign at the University.
The brochure for that campaign, which was aimed at prospective students, parents, and high school counselors, was the winner in the Product or Service Brochure (Single) category.
“Effective marketing is not easy to execute, especially with a fairly new team. We have worked hard over the past year to develop compelling content, and these awards are affirmations of our efforts,” said De’Awn Bunch, executive director of Enrollment Services Communication and Marketing.
Team members include: Kirsten Clark, communications coordinator; Jo Anne Davis-Jones, communications manager; Eric Green, graphic designer 2; Crystal Irving, technical services specialist 2; Marcus Powers, communications coordinator; Stephen Reynolds, program manager 1; Mark E. Smith, marketing manager
With many more projects and campaigns in the works, ESCM is poised to continue strategic marketing and communication planning on behalf of Enrollment Services to support student recruitment and retention.
