It was another banner year for the Chattanooga Mocs Athletics Department as the marketing team earned national recognition following the release of the 2024 National Association of Collegiate Marketing Administrators (NACMA) awards during last week's convention in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The marketing team, in collaboration with creative services, earned a "Best Of" award for its efforts during "90's Night" this past basketball season. The award, presented by Old Hat, recognized UTC as its Gold winner in the Group 2 (FCS) designation for the "Single Game Attendance/Sellout Campaign" category.
Associate AD for Marketing & Promotions Ashley Alletto spearheaded the campaign and reiterated it was a full team effort in earning the award.
"We are proud of the full team effort that goes into making 90's Night so successful," said Alletto.
"This is a promotion that we look forward to each year, and we love seeing the fans embrace our creative ideas.
It is an honor to have these efforts and ideas recognized on a national level."
In addition to Alletto, UTC staffers who contributed directly to the winning performance include:
Andrew Horton - Deputy AD - External Ops
Hannah Mitchell - Director of Marketing
Leah Gill - Assistant AD - Creative Services
Tate Johnson - Production Director
Abby Walker - Production Specialist
The success has become a tradition for the crew during the summer award months. Last year, the group helped UTC land Silver in the same category for its "Wrestle Mania" theme during the Iowa wrestling match while also earning a Bronze title for 90's Night in the "Game Day Promotion" category.
