Mid-America Christian University was recognized with two Awards of Merit in the 2026 Marketing Excellence Awards (MEAs), hosted by the American Marketing Association (AMA).
The awards recognize outstanding marketing work across a variety of categories, with MACU earning recognition for both a blog and a short-form video.
MACU’s “Journey Through Greece” received an Award of Merit in the Marketing Tactic – Blog category. The blog followed MACU’s journey through Greece as students, faculty, and staff explored biblical history and traced the footsteps of the Apostle Paul. Through storytelling and firsthand experiences, the piece highlighted how MACU’s greater engagement in learning extends beyond the classroom, connecting students with their faith, history, and the world around them.
MACU also received an Award of Merit for “MACU: Where My Why Finds a Way,” a short-form video created in collaboration with Lampstand Story Co. The commercial captures the heart of the MACU experience by highlighting how MACU prepares students to pursue their calling and find purpose in their education.
The 2026 MEAs received a tremendous number of entries, making this year’s judging process highly competitive. MACU’s two Awards of Merit recognize the creativity, storytelling, and intentional marketing behind both projects.
The recognition reflects MACU’s continued commitment to using creative storytelling and strategic marketing to communicate its mission and share the MACU experience with others.
