* Silver for an internal communications campaign to build and launch a new staff portal.
The awards recognise the contribution made by the sector marketing teams to the success of colleges in Scotland with an annual awards ceremony and gala dinner.
The New College Lanarkshire team received their prizes in front of 130 guests from industry on 9 March in Edinburgh venue, Ghillie Dhu.
