The campaign launched in March 2024 to raise awareness of, and secure support for, cementing the College’s future as a leader across the higher education sector in ensuring talented students from the broadest makeup of society have access to Oxford’s world-class education.

The Circle of Excellence Awards are the premier accolades for educational advancement, and celebrate colleges, universities, and schools across the world whose talented staff advance their institutions with ingenuity and resourcefulness. The Bronze award for Mansfield College was for the striking design, compelling messaging, and successful impact so far of the multi-year For Mansfield. Forever. campaign.

 

Mansfield College worked with brand and digital agency, Baxter & Bailey, to create a distinctive campaign that launched in March 2024 with a bold and challenging purpose: to raise funds to support all areas of the College’s work, including a significant capital project; raise the profile of the College; and inspire its audiences with the impact the College has within higher education and the world as a sector-leader in widening participation with Oxford University.

“I am proud and delighted that Mansfield’s brilliant Communications and Development teams have won a CASE Circle of Excellence Award. This award was given for the arresting and compelling content design of our campaign. This global recognition of the strength of the For Mansfield. Forever. campaign is richly deserved and will contribute to its ongoing success”.

Mansfield College Principal, Helen Mountfield, KC
