Cast your vote for International Brand Master

Voting is now open for the 2013 International Brand Master Award, sponsored by Educational Marketing Group. And the three finalists are all very deserving of this recognition. It’s going to be a tough call, and it’s a shame all three cannot receive the award. Each represents different institutions that are taking innovative approaches in their own right to offer a quality educational experience.

The finalists are:

  • Jennifer Chesney, associate vice president of university digital strategy for the University of Alberta.
  • Seth Odell, director of interactive marketing at Southern New Hampshire University.
  • Rachel Reuben, associate vice president of marketing communications at Ithaca College.

Voting is open until Valentine’s Day (Feb. 14), so show some love and vote for your favorite of these three eminently qualified candidates. Voting instructions here.
