The College Marketing Network's FE First Awards are now well established as the sector’s annual opportunity to celebrate marketing best practice. They showcase the excellent and imaginative work that is being achieved in further education colleges across the UK.
Over 100 colleges entered the Awards in 2009, with 130 entries across the 15 categories. Each category has specialist, independent judges, who not only look for best practice in the category area, but also how the entry fits into the college's marketing strategy. They are also looking for detailed evaluation of success against goals and objectives.
Overall, judges agreed that there is a huge amount of innovative and creative thinking going on in colleges, and a very high standard was set. Some colleges won more than one award, showing the excellent work being done by some of our colleagues.
The Awards Team for the College Marketing Network would like to thank all the judges for giving their time and expertise to the Awards. We are also very grateful to femarketing.co.uk for sponsoring the Powerpoint presentation used at the ceremony.
The 2009 Awards were presented by Dr David Collins CBE, Chief Executive of LSIS, at the Network's 22nd Annual Conference on 23rd November 2009.
Our Co-ordinator Helen Livesey has now left the College Marketing Network. A replacement for Helen will be recruited soon but in the meantime, the office phone and her emails will be answered.
