Rocky Mountain Student Media at CSU Awarded Top Three College Media Companies of the Year

Rocky Mountain Student Media Corporation at Colorado State University recently received several national awards including placing in the top three college media companies of the year by the College Media and Business Advertising Managers Organization (CMBAM). CMBAM is a nonprofit membership organization for universities with student media programs and supports the business operations of student media to ensure independent student journalism is relevant and sustainable. CMBAM has 68 member universities across the US and develops its member organizations, and the people within them, through innovative training programs, events, and networking opportunities.

“Our media students were honored to be recognized for their work this past year and earned a variety of awards for best media products and best sales and marketing programs in numerous categories,” says Christa Reed, Senior Advertising Consultant/Lead Trainer.

Universities across the country submit media samples of their work from the past year and an outside panel of media professionals judge all the entries. They then award points for honorable mention, third, second and first place and tally all points to name winners and the top three media companies of the year. “We were thrilled to be given these national awards and are very proud to be in the top three media companies of the year for the second year in a row,” adds Reed.
