Nova Scotia Community College (NSCC) has earned an internationally-recognized Hermes Creative Award for a television campaign developed by Atlantic-Canadian agency Colour. The innovative, highly-animated “Built for Students” campaign was a Platinum Winner in the brand category. NSCC honoured Colour for their work during a presentation of the Hermes statuette.

Hermes Creative Awards is an international competition for creative professionals involved in the concept, writing and design of traditional materials and programs, and emerging technologies. Entries come from corporate marketing and communication departments, advertising agencies, PR firms, design shops, production companies, web based innovators, and freelancers.

The Awards are administered and judged by the Association of Marketing and Communication Professionals, an international organization consisting of several thousand marketing, communication, advertising, public relations, media production, web and free-lance professionals. The Association oversees awards and recognition programs, provides judges, and sets standards for excellence.

Association of Marketing and Communication Professionals began in 1995 as a means to honor outstanding achievement and service to the communication profession. As part of its mission, the Association fosters and supports the efforts of marketing and communication professionals who contribute their unique talents to public service and charitable organizations. Each year, the efforts of generous marketing and communication professionals are acknowledged through grants and special recognition. Hermes entrants are not charged entry fees for their pro bono entries.

Colour is very proud to share this award with NSCC and looks forward to pushing the creative envelope again in the future.
