The University of Missouri Division of Marketing and Communication recently announced the spring 2024 Brand Wagon award winners. The awards honor Mizzou employees whose work upholds and uplifts the university’s brand.
“Our Brand Wagon winners are amazing brand ambassadors,” said Brand Manager Jessi Church. “They enrich the brand with the work they do and make an impact with their audiences. The submissions for the Spring 2024 Brand Wagon were fantastic and showed the greatest variety of nominations yet—from design to copywriting to environmental branding. It’s important for us to recognize the work done across campus and continue to inspire others to get creative when working with the Mizzou brand.”
This semesters’ recipients are:

Brand Wagon Amped Up
Combining brand excellence, creativity and collaboration, geology professor Jim Schiffbauer led the creation of a geological timeline mural that bridges the gap between marketing messages, physical branding and decoration. For this effort, he was presented the Brand Wagon Amped Up award.
Brand Wagon Signature Style award
For his customized sidewalk clings designed for the MU Counseling Center, Macaulay Keevins won the Brand Wagon Signature Style award. Each original illustration was made especially for the different locations where the clings appear, combining depth with visual storytelling.
