• George Mason University, Search Pieces category
• Temple University, Website category
• Harrisburg University, Search Pieces category
• Kettering University, Direct Mail category

Why did these campaigns win higher education marketing awards?

What made these enrollment communications great? First, it starts with the institutions sending compelling images, messages, and reasons to be interested in your institution to the RNL creative team. We use the best design and technology to turn these ideas and materials into compelling campaigns that make it easy for students to respond. This includes making the inquire link or apply button immediately visible and even driving students to online information from direct mail. Mail reply devices also have to be easy to complete. In today’s attention economy, institutions have tremendous competition for the time and interest of prospective students and their families. We have to get attention quickly and convert it to action.

Judges for the Educational Advertising Awards consisted of a national panel of higher education marketers, advertising creative directors, marketing and advertising professionals, and the editorial board of Higher Education Marketing Report.

These RNL client winners also show the power of multichannel outreach to donors, using a mixture traditional and digital marketing to attract the attention of their target audience whether those potential students were on social media, browsing websites, or opening their mail.
