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.

“Close collaboration with our students and alumni allows us to tell Wheaton’s story authentically as they live it every day,” said Suzi Robinson, vice president for marketing and communications. “Our team is honored by this recognition, which grew from year-round social content into a national streaming ad campaign. It brought meaningful visibility to the college and gave students and alumni 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.
