Award-winning marketing

Wheaton earns three digital marketing awards

Wheaton College was recognized in December 2025, when it received three awards in a national marketing competition. The college captured both gold and silver awards in the 13th Annual Education Digital Marketing Awards for a pair of submissions in the Online Display Ad category, and also earned a silver award for its Digital Video Ad, titled “Discover Yourself at Wheaton.”

The creative work for this year’s entries was produced by Marketing and Communications staff for the display ads and in conjunction with students and recent graduates for the video, namely Elias Stevens ’25 and Katie Pollock ’24.

“Working closely with our students and alumni allows us to tell Wheaton’s story authentically as they live it every day. We’re fortunate to collaborate with students year-round on social content, and it was a natural extension to expand that work in our digital advertising,” said Suzi Robinson, vice president for marketing and communications. “Featuring the video in a Netflix campaign brought great visibility to the college and also gave our students and alumni meaningful, real-world experience they can proudly add to their portfolios.”

More than 1,000 entries were received for the competition, which celebrates outstanding achievements in digital marketing within the education sector. Entries from U.S. colleges, universities, and secondary schools were evaluated by a panel of judges of education marketers, advertising creative directors, and marketing and advertising professionals.

Last spring, Wheaton earned a silver award in collaboration with Carnegie for an Online Display Ad in the 40th Annual Education Advertising Awards.
