May 27, 2015
The Public Relations team at HCC Northwest won in three categories at the recent American Marketing Association 29th annual Crystal Awards. Recognized for marketing efforts on campaigns focusing on student retention, community outreach and engineering partnerships, HCC competed amongst 300 Houston companies for this year’s esteemed awards.
According to AMA Houston President Jared Houser, “A Crystal Award is the most sought after trophy in the region’s marketing community because winning a Crystal is more than a beauty contest – it’s about proving results. Additionally, to capture the spirit of what winning a Crystal truly means, our Crystal Award co-chairs have made some dynamic changes to this year’s event.”
A panel of internationally distinguished marketing executives from outside the Houston area scored entries to determine the finalists and winners for the 2015 Crystal Awards gala held May 15 at Hotel Zaza that had 530 attendees.
