Montana’s Marketing Staff Named Commissioner’s Team of the Month

Montana earned points in nine different categories, ranging from revenue generating ideas to viral social initiatives

FARMINGTON, Utah (July 10, 2024) – After earning the title of Marketing Team of the Year from the National Association of Collegiate Marketing Administrators (NACMA), Montana’s marketing department has been named Big Sky Conference Commissioner’s Team of the Month for June.
 
NACMA presents the award to one institution from Group I (FBS), Group II (FCS and all non-football FBS schools) and Group III (DII and below). Nebraska was the Group I winner while Minnesota State-Moorhead was the Group III winner. Montana was a Group II finalist, along with Creighton and Delaware.
 
NACMA’s Best of Awards program features 20 categories, spanning NACMA’s three pillars of fan development, brand management and revenue generation. Schools were allowed to submit up to one nomination for each category, with points being allotted to the Gold, Silver and Bronze winners. Points were then accumulated to determine the Marketing Team of the Year.
 
Montana earned points in nine different categories, ranging from revenue generating ideas to viral social initiatives.
 
The Griz weren’t the only staffs to be recognized by NACMA either, as Idaho won a Silver award for Fundraising Campaign and Portland State won a Gold for Viral Social Initiative.
