The University of New England’s Office of Communications has been recognized for its exceptional marketing efforts for an advertisement for the College of Osteopathic Medicine. The ad, which touts UNE COM as the “#1 provider of physicians for the State of Maine,” appeared in Downeast Magazine “Best Doctors in Maine” issue.

According to AACOM, this year’s EIC Awards Program solicited more than 100 high-quality entries, which were adjudicated by an expert panel of judges including accomplished editorial, design, and production professionals from the DC metro area.

UNE COM was awarded third place for “Osteo Blast and Orientation Giveaway” – these pieces involved developing graphics and logos for a specific event.

And for the second time, UNE’s magazine has received national recognition.  In 2015, AACOM awarded first place to UNE’s “Happy In Morocco” edition.  This edition was also awarded first place by Collegiate Advertising Awards program, receiving Gold Awards for UNE Magazine in the Magazine Publication category 2014/2015.

UNE Vice President for Communications and Global Affairs Anouar Majid, Ph.D., said, “The UNE Office of Communications is committed to producing marketing and promotional content that is as innovative as the university’s programs. We are thrilled to receive this honor from the American Association of Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine and look forward to working on future campaigns that continue to elevate the outstanding education students receive at the University of New England."

The 2016 EIC Awards will be presented during the Marketing and Communications Advisory Council meeting at the AACOM 2016 Annual Conference in Washington, DC.
