Aspirational and inspirational content. For example, "We believe that optimism is a viable, proven teaching strategy," and gorgeous photography with clean and simple design. A beautiful winner!
Very compelling! They did a great job of thoughtfully articulating their beliefs. The majority of the imagery strongly supported the messaging. Well done!

I really love how this school is bringing its brand promise into its community — really bringing the story through its friendship bracelet initiative and corresponding messaging.
Excellent job combining digital marketing and an intentional word-of-mouth initiative for both current and prospective student audiences.
