CTC Director of Marketing Kim Crowe said the annual report stood out to the judges for its overall design concept and the easy to read infographics used as well as the high quality matte paper. The online newsletter, which is primarily for the college’s internal audience of faculty and staff, also won for its graphics as well as the quality of the writing. The Innovation in Technology award was given for the college’s social media advertising campaign on Twitter and Facebook, which had exceptional results in the number of impressions and click-through rates.
The publications were judged by an independent panel on the criteria of project results, aesthetics, design quality and techniques.
