TargetX Launches "X Award" to Honor Excellence in College Recruiting

Bristol, PA (PRWeb) January 18, 2007 -- TargetX, a leader in helping colleges recruit the Millennial generation, has created the first award to recognize revolutionary marketing efforts by the nation's admissions offices.

The company's "X Award" will be presented periodically to honor exceptional marketing campaigns and projects, including publications, blogs, podcasts, email, on-campus experiences and other recruiting tools that are undergoing revolutionary changes as marketing-savvy Millennials conduct their college search.

"We're looking for schools that have embraced the remarkable shifts taking place in how students seek information about colleges and how colleges communicate with students," said TargetX CEO Brian Wm. Niles.

TargetX has the credentials to present an award for revolutionary marketing. The company spearheaded the student-recruiting revolution in 1998 when it was founded to help higher education take advantage of the power of email to communicate with prospective students.

Over the years, TargetX has developed other products and services to make it easier for colleges to use the Internet as a recruiting tool. More recently, the company created the position of "Experience Evangelist" to help colleges do a better job of hosting on-campus events, conducting campus tours and telling their unique stories to help differentiate themselves from other schools.

"We're in the middle of a fundamental change in how students search for colleges and decide on their school of choice," said Niles. "As a result, colleges have to be more interactive, more distinctive and more candid."

Schools need to accomplish much of this interaction, differentiation and truth telling through the technologies that today's teens know and love best, said Niles, including instant messaging, blogs, podcasts, personalized email and text messaging.

"TargetX has been at the forefront of recognizing and responding to the needs of colleges as they struggle with these challenges," said Niles, "which is why we feel empowered to recognize their successes and reward them for a job well done."
