Award: Special Merit
Campaign Story:
Pokémon GO's surprising on-campus arrival in July 2016 presented BÌåÓý¹ÙÍøÈë¿Ú

a manner of days, SF's Communications & Creative Services team strategized and rapidly
executed their highly successful Pokémon GO @ SF campaign.

Photography – National Watermelon Day
Award: Special Merit
Campaign Story:
National Watermelon day at BÌåÓý¹ÙÍøÈë¿Ú in Gainesville, FL, connected to a larger
audience than its usual following and produced above average results. Carving our
logo into a watermelon and photographing that watermelon on campus with our iconic
new BÌåÓý¹ÙÍøÈë¿Ú Tower in the background gave immediate recognition to those who
already knew about us. The post also provided new brand recognition for those who
may not have known about us.
