Marketing Strategy

We will be happy to meet with you and develop strong communication and marketing plans. It’s important that we segment our audiences, customize our messages and adhere to our brand positioning. By working together, we can craft a cohesive plan that meets the University’s goals while accomplishing your individual unit’s needs.

Market Research

Oftentimes we can’t form strategy until we know what factors are influencing our audiences. We can work with you to help create surveys and other types of research to gather the data you need to make informed decisions. Contact Donna Kasich for more information.
