NCK TECH
NCK Tech is proud to offer students hands-on opportunities that open doors to successful futures. Now, the good news is reaching even more students, thanks to a collaboration with a Manhattan, Kansas, advertising firm.
502 Media Group created a magazine targeting prospective students, highlighting outstanding current students, exciting campus experiences and tips for navigating college life. This magazine recently won a Gold American Advertising Award, or ADDY.
The ADDYs is the advertising industry’s largest award competition. Entries receiving gold awards move on to the district competition, competing against advertising work from Kansas, Iowa, Missouri and Nebraska.
Mari Tucker, marketing/foundation director for NCK Tech, said in a news release the response to the magazine has been extremely positive in a variety of audiences.
“It’s really resonating with segments of the population outside our students, including alumni and prospective donors,” she said. “I enjoyed compiling the information and watching it grow in a new, student-focused format.”
NCK Tech prides itself on developing immediately accessible skills leading to high-tech careers. With 24 programs of study spread out over two campuses in Beloit and Hays, NCK Tech provides an education leading to rewarding and challenging experiences.
“Our students have opportunities similar to four-year universities with extremely high job placement,” said Eric Burks, NCK Tech president. “It’s important to us to spread that word to as many students as possible, and in a way that is both
informative and engaging.”
Blade Mages, 502 Media creative director, said he and his team share NCK Tech’s passion for creating tailored products to advance the goals of businesses, large and small.
“We’re grateful for the partnerships we have with our clients, including NCK Tech,” said Mages. “When our clients succeed in their goals, we consider that a 502 Media success as well.”
