The Houston Chapter of the American Marketing Association awarded Lone Star College with three Crystal Awards for excellence in marketing and communications.
The Crystal Awards recognize Houston’s best marketing work among organizations, businesses and advertising agencies.
“Lone Star College is delighted to be recognized by this respected organization,” said Emily deMilliano, LSC executive director of marketing. “The marketing/communications department has many talented individuals who work very hard at making sure Lone Star College is communicating its message in an efficient and professional manner.”
LSC received Crystal Awards for: best newsletter-print (Star newsletter, fall 2014), best illustration (Metal Bookmark Promo Item) and best nonprofit website (LoneStar.edu). In addition to the awards, LSC was a finalist in a number of other categories including advertising-magazine campaign, advertising radio campaign, advertising TV-single, product or service brochure, product or service catalog, website-most improved, and online marketing across two or more unique mediums.
“For many of our students, LoneStar.edu is their first experience with the college and it’s important that experience is a positive one,” said John King, LSC executive director, digital services. “Being recognized as having the best nonprofit website validates the hard work our team does in helping those students succeed.”
