Marquette University receives two global CASE Circle of Excellence awards for video marketing
MILWAUKEE — The Office of University Relations at Marquette University has received two Circle of Excellence silver awards from the Council for Advancement and Support of Education for recent video productions: “Reflections,” the university commercial, and “Let There Be Peace on Earth,” the 2020 Christmas video.
“Reflections” won a silver award in the “University Commercial” category, while “Let There Be Peace on Earth” won a silver award in the “Holiday/Year-End Video” category. In 2022, CASE received more than 4,500 entries from institutions in nearly 30 countries for its awards, which showcase outstanding work in marketing, communications, advancement services, alumni relations and fundraising. Entries were original work produced between July 1, 2020, and Dec. 31, 2021.
“Reflections” is Marquette’s current 60-second commercial. “The idea of personal transformation is what I wanted to convey,” Burke said. “From acceptance to graduation, being a Marquette student is an emotional journey and our goal was to tell that story that in just 60 seconds.”
“Great story and visuals,” wrote the judges. “Accurate display of student life throughout the video. Great video and concept to capture the whole four years in 60 seconds. Tugged at the heart strings.”
The judges agreed: “Simply stunning. It’s on brand, moving and brilliant in its simplicity. The black and white treatment is over-the-top good.”
CASE’s Circle of Excellence Awards are the premier recognition program for educational advancement. These peer-selected and adjudicated awards honor colleges, universities, and schools worldwide whose talented staff have advanced their organizations with resourcefulness and ingenuity.
