Phi Kappa Phi recently won four national awards for its marketing and publishing efforts at the 42nd Annual AM&P Network EXCEL Awards. The awards recognize excellence and leadership in nonprofit association media, publishing, marketing and communications.

Phi Kappa Phi has a tradition of winning EXCEL Awards for its quarterly magazine, the Phi Kappa Phi Forum, and this year was no different. The Forum's winter 2021 issue with a theme of "community" won a silver award in the “Magazine: Single Topic Issue” for publications with a circulation of 50,001 or more. In addition, the magazine received a bronze award in the “Pandemic Response: Dedicated Issue” category for the spring 2021 issue with a theme of “solitude.” This edition took a deeper look at solitude and its effect on us all.  You can read both editions in our Forum Archive.

The marketing department’s Excellence in Innovation Direct Mailer won a bronze award in the "Promotional Content: Direct Mail – Single Piece" category with its custom piece inviting universities to apply for the $100,000 Excellence in Innovation Award. To view the mailer, click here.
