It also won five individual excellence awards.<\/p>\n<p><strong>They were for:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>NMMU\u2019s new app, myjourney;<\/li>\n<li>Its unconventional packaging of the university\u2019s Annual Report<\/li>\n<li>The external newsletter, In Touch<\/li>\n<li>Videos of NMMU ambassadors as part of a strategy to reach today\u2019s highly-visual Generation Y<\/li>\n<li>Its integrated Graduation campaign aimed at profiling all that is excellent about NMMU.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Each attained a mark of 80% or more from a panel of judges from higher education and industry.<\/p>\n<p>The other awards were for NMMU\u2019s university twitter handle, NMMU4U; its Facebook page; a Law publication; its student diary; its video content-sharing site, NMMUonTube and its 10 000 Dibaz campaign<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are thrilled with the results. NMMU may be a new university, but it\u2019s a university that is on the rise in all spheres \u2013 from its research, teaching and learning through to its branding, marketing and communication,\u201d said NMMU\u2019s Director of Marketing and Corporate Relations Pieter Swart.<\/p>\n<p>Two years ago NMMU won an unprecedented 17 awards for various campaigns, publications, advertisements, social media and video productions, including the flighting of a flash mob by the NMMU choir at Greenacres <a title=\"Shopping Centre\" class=\"aal\" target=\"_self\"
