The contest honors top advertising pieces and campaigns in the region. The department received a Gold ADDY Award in the Television Advertising category for “Say Yes to SIU,” and will now advance to district competition. The department also received a Silver ADDY Award, which recognizes excellence in digital design and content, for the Student Life webpage.
The SIU Foundation’s marketing team won a Gold ADDY in the internet commercial campaign category for Saluki Takeover Tour videos (the 2025 Washington, D.C. video is shown), and a Silver ADDY in the television advertising campaign category for “A Moment with Grey Dawg” SIU Alumni Association video.
The SIU Alumni Association earned a silver ADDY in the digital/online publication category for the fall 2025 edition of the SIU Alumni Magazine.
