Higher Ed Institutions As Brands

When people think of brands they think of the big players like Coca-Cola, Nike, or Apple. Colleges and universities don’t usually come up, but every institution is in fact a brand. Hopefully, your institution has some sort of brand guide that outlines the institution’s visual identity, voice, tone, and messaging. But there’s so much more to a brand, especially in the online space.

Bringing a Digital Brand to Life Through Experience Design

If your institution exists online, its website is the front door to its brand. You have the power to change your website visitors’ perceptions of your college or university by paying close attention to experience design. So, what is experience design? We’re glad you asked.

 

Experience design is the ease at which visitors can find what they came for, the feeling they get from reading a great story, the feedback they get as they interact with the user interface, the more personalized the content becomes as the site learns more about their needs.

Discover what’s missing from your brand book. Download our guide, The Missing Checklist: A Guide for Successful Digital Branding and make sure your institution’s brand guide checks all the boxes for:

  • Visual identity
  • Brand storytelling
  • Marketing strategy
