Engineering Greater Brand Awareness
UMass Dartmouth’s College of Engineering offers a world-class academic experience that allows students to make a real-world impact. The problem? Not enough prospective students and parents knew about it. With limited resources, the college needed to generate awareness quickly by connecting with high-schoolers, especially female students.
Our message to students was emotionally driven, fueling a creative approach that used humor to engage the target audience by countering engineering stereotypes. For parents, our digital campaign led with a rational message, highlighting the quality of the student experience, from the low student-to-faculty ratio to high-profile internships.
