Bishop State Wins Pyramid Awards

Bishop State Community College captured a Best of Show, two first place and two second place awards in a recent Alabama Community College System Public Relations Association (ACCSPRA) Pyramid Awards Competition.

Herb Jordan, Director of Public Relations at Bishop State, picked up the awards on May 28 during an awards banquet in Orange Beach. The competition recognizes the work of marketing and public relations professionals employed in the state community, junior and technical colleges.

Bishop State received first place in the Print Advertising Single Ad category and Recruiting/Marketing Campaign category. The second place awards were in the Video Advertisement/PSA category and the Print Advertising Series category.

After announcing the winners in each category, the judges, who were seasoned public relations and marketing professionals, deliberated on two best of shows -- one in the print category and the other in the electronic category. Bishop State's entries in the print category were the judges' choice for the Best of Show.

The ad campaign, created by Red Square Ad Agency, has been running in the Mobile market since January 2008.

Founded in 1990, ACCSPRA is the only state public relations and marketing organization in Alabama devoted exclusively to marketing and public relations in community, junior and technical colleges.
