NACMA WINNERS
Current Commercial:
ORLANDO – For the second consecutive year a University of Missouri football television ad was named best in the nation by the National Association of Collegiate Marketing Administrators (NACMA) Board of Directors. The announcement came on Friday, June 19 during the “Best of” awards ceremony at the 18th annual NACMA Convention in Orlando, Florida.
The :30 second television commercial, titled "We're Back", featured four young Tiger fans recalling their favorite plays from the previous season before they receive a surprise visit from now former Mizzou standouts Chase Coffman, William Moore and Jeremy Maclin.
The gold award-winning ad was selected from three finalists, and from numerous submissions of collegiate sports ads from across the nation.
The commercial was produced by Bark Productions of Kansas City, Jack Smith Creative Services, and Mizzou Athletics with assistance from 19 Below of Kansas City.
Mizzou also took home honors in the promotional poster and video board segment categories, receiving bronze awards for both the 2009 gymnastics schedule poster and the 2008 football intro video.
Mizzou won the gold award last year for the 2007 football commercial featuring former running back Tony Temple and head coach Gary Pinkel titled “Speed.” View all of the award winners, as well as this year's video, in the sidebar above.
