New Orleans — Zehno Cross Media Communications has won both a gold and a silver medal in the Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE) 2002 International Circle of Excellence Awards.

The gold medal piece is a recruitment brochure aimed at prospective MBA students for the Freeman School of Business at Tulane University. The Zehno/Tulane entry was one of only two in a field of 117 entries to be awarded the gold in the Individual Student Recruitment Publications category.

CASE judges said: “The design was clean and well-organized, and the writing was top-flight. In our view, a gold medal should be reserved for those publications without flaws….”

Zehno’s silver medal award was for its work on Vision: 2001 Report of the Dean for the Columbia Business School, in the Individual Development Publications category. The report was chosen as a medalist from among the 274 entries in the category.
