UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO
WHAT WAS THE CLIENT’S ASK?
The leadership team at the Athletic Training Department sought a unified brand voice, website, collateral and digital campaign to reach students in new ways.
Bringing stakeholders together to share in the vision whether senior or brand new to the organization would be critical to developing all subsequent outbound communications and activities. We wanted to bring personality and connection to our materials and set ourselves apart from other Athletic Training Departments across the US, capturing our trailblazing spirit and superior first-of-its-kind program.
WHAT WAS THE CHALLENGE?
Unifying the voices of many leaders into meaningful content for potential students, consistently
In order to bring all voices together, we needed to have everyone participate in brand strategy including identifying archetypes, value propositions, mission, vision and goals as well as lexicon and imagery guidance. Once armed with this we were able to write and craft a gorgeous unique website where the potential student was at the center of the story. The narrative needed to speak to the goals and dreams of those potentially entering the MSAT and DAT programs beyond just data and class facts. From there we produced collateral packets that aligned with the site and the consumer journey for potential students to receive upon request as well as at conferences. Next, we drove forward with a comprehensive digital campaign using SEO, PPC and SMM to bring students into our fold!
