WASHINGTON, D.C., October 11, 2017 — UPCEA, the leader in professional, continuing, and online education, has announced the recipients of the 2017 Marketing Awards. The UPCEA Marketing Awards program recognizes the top marketing and creative work across the UPCEA membership.

This year, UPCEA is honoring 196 recipients for their excellence in 26 awards categories across 8 divisions: Print Publications, Print Advertising, Outdoor/Exhibit Signage, Broadcast Advertising, Mixed Media Campaign, Most Improved, Strategic Recruitment Marketing Plan, and Interactive Media.

“As competition continues to increase in the continuing and online education space, marketers need to differentiate themselves, innovate, and find ways to turn heads,” said Michele Long, UPCEA Awards Committee Chair. “Kudos to this year’s Marketing Award recipients for their work propelling the vision of their institutions forward through an impressive convergence of creativity and strategy.”

Award recipients will be honored, and Division and Best in Show award recipients will be announced, at the 2017 UPCEA Marketing and Enrollment Management Seminar, on December 6 in Washington, D.C.
