BCC Marketing Team Wins Statewide Award for Integrated Marketing Campaign

Brunswick Community College’s Marketing Team has been recognized with a 2025 PRIMA NC Marketing & Communications Award for excellence in Integrated Marketing, earning top honors for its creative and strategic rollout of BCC’s new BookSmart textbook program.

The award was presented during the Annual PRIMA NC Conference held at Isothermal Community College in Spindale, North Carolina, last month.

The PRIMA NC Marketing & Communications Awards celebrate creativity, innovation, and impact across the North Carolina Community College System (NCCCS). This year’s competition drew 99 entries from colleges statewide, all judged by marketing professionals from across the country.

Director of Public Relations and Marketing Julia Stuart accepted the award on behalf of the team, which also includes Digital Content Specialist Mary Jane Kinkade and Graphic Designer Colette Chidalek. “We’re proud of this recognition because it highlights BCC’s commitment to student success,” said Stuart. “Our goal is to ensure every campaign we produce informs, inspires, and connects with the communities we serve.”

PRIMA NC (Public Relations, Information, and Marketing Association of North Carolina Community Colleges) supports excellence in communications across the NCCCS, honoring professionals who help share the story of how community colleges change lives across North Carolina.
