Cobb Schools issued the following announcement on Feb. 1.
Staff members and departments across Cobb Schools often win accolades across the state, nation, and beyond. The Cobb Schools Communication Department recently added to the District’s list of award recipients. They won eight international MarCom Awards, which honors excellence in marketing and communication while recognizing the creativity and hard work of industry professionals.
“As the Superintendent often says, we are a school district of excellence. He expects excellence, our Board expects excellence, and we hold ourselves to that standard for our students and parents. The Communications team has really modernized the ways our family receives information from their schools. We’re proud that they’re being recognized as the communication leaders they are, not only in education but across all industries,” said John Floresta, Chief Strategy & Accountability Officer.
The Cobb Schools Communications Team earned two platinum level awards, three gold level awards, and three honorable mention awards.
Some of the other platinum level MarCom award winners include Aflac, Amazon, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), and Syracuse University.
Since its inception in 2004, MarCom has evolved into one of the world’s largest and most-respected creative competitions. Each year about 6,500 print and digital entries are submitted from dozens of countries. MarCom is administered by the Association of Marketing and Communication Professionals (AMCP). The international organization, founded in 1995, consists of several thousand marketing, communication, advertising, public relations, digital, and web professionals. AMCP administers recognition programs, provides judges, and rewards outstanding achievement and service to the community.
