AIM Awards

So, as many of you know, the AIM (Achievement In Marketing) Awards were last week and here is the award the Nashville Huskers won!

Here is what the brochure had to say:

Catagory: Special Event, Event Marketing - Event Under $100,000 Investment
Nashville Huskers
Team Lead: Emily Fay

Emily Fay loves football - and in particular, the Nebraska Huskers. Although he University of Nebraska has one of the winningest college football programs in history, she quickly learned that didn't matter in the middle of SEC territory. So Emily set out to create a community of local Husker fans who would gather to enjoy some football. The only problem was she had no budget, no support for the University, no place to meet and she didn't know any other Nashville Nebraskans. But Emily convinced a bar to turn off the SEC game and turn on the Nebraska game. At the end of the 2010 football season, the Nashville Huskers boasted a community of 361 members. Average attendance at the viewing parties was 102.

I am so blessed to be able to watch football with each and of the Nebraska fans here in Nashville. This is such an amazing group of people! I am looking forward to seeing everyone again soon. I think this season is going to be really exciting...new teams...new challenges...and hopefully more fans.

I am also so blessed to be surrounded with some of the best marking minds in Nashville. With out their support and encouragement I would not have applied for this award. They helped me realize that what I have been doing with the Nashville Huskers is in essence is direct marketing...and that I do marketing for the fun of it!

GO BIG RED!
