The National Association of Collegiate Marketing Administrators (NACMA) meets annually to honor outstanding achievement in marketing and promotions. This year, Belmont University received a gold medal in the Best Student Promotion category for Ned, the evil alter ego of Bruiser the Bruin, the official mascot of Belmont athletics.
Last year, the Belmont Vision’s Katie Redding introduced Ned in the video below:
Katie’s story mentions Ned’s Death to Bruiser facebook.com group…the group is was so wildly popular that it attracted 3 members including Mean Bruiser (Ned) himself. To be fair, Mean Bruiser’s facebook.com profile lists 33 friends….compared to Bruiser the Bruin’s 2,457 friends. So Ned, we have to ask, “Who’s your papa bear?”
Congratulations to the marketing people in Belmont Athletics for making basketball games fun to attend! Hat Tip: Bruins Online
