Brand Strategy
A Brand Story as Distinct as Your Institution
In today’s competitive higher education environment, an intelligent approach to brand strategy is mandatory. Carnegie’s original psychometric model and brand reputation strategy allow us to do more than just create a brand for your organization. Through extensive brand research, we identify your institution’s unique personality and transform the way you communicate to your audiences. Harnessing this human connection will give you a competitive edge in building a powerhouse brand foundation that’s authentic to your college or university.
