Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a complete brand strategy project typically take?

  • Weeks 1-2: Research and discovery

What makes school branding different from corporate branding?

School branding requires a unique approach because educational institutions have diverse stakeholder groups and distinct objectives. Key differences include:

  • Multiple audience considerations (students, parents, staff, community)
  • Focus on community and cultural impact
  • Balance of tradition with innovation
  • Integration with educational mission and values
  • Longer-term relationship building

Our strategy process explicitly addresses these educational sector nuances.

How do you measure the success of a school branding strategy?

We track success through multiple metrics:

  • Enrollment trends and application rates
  • Student and parent satisfaction scores
  • Staff engagement and retention
  • Community participation rates
  • Social media engagement and website traffic
  • Media coverage and public perception
  • Alumni engagement and support

We establish baseline measurements and track these metrics throughout implementation to demonstrate ROI.

Who needs to be involved in the branding strategy process?

For optimal results, we recommend involving:

  • School administration and leadership team
  • Selected faculty and staff members
  • Student representatives
  • Marketing/communications team (if applicable)

We help coordinate and facilitate involvement at appropriate stages to ensure efficient use of everyone’s time.
