“Warrior students and alumni have always known Indiana Tech as a place where people achieve remarkable things every day. We’re a university that helps our students, faculty, and staff reach for a brighter future. The Go for IT campaign created by our partners at SimpsonScarborough not only captures this idea perfectly, it also helps us reach prospective students, partners, and community members to make sure these audiences are aware of — and inspired by — our Indiana Tech story.”

Bentley University

Bentley University is a small New England school with a 100-year history of turning out well-prepared business graduates. With a new president and marketing team, Bentley came to us for research that would form the foundation of a new long-term brand and a robust integrated marketing campaign.

“SimpsonScarborough helped NC State gather data-driven insights and used their experience to help bring our internal community together in a way that built support and enthusiasm for the university’s largest ever comprehensive fundraising campaign. Their solutions were both grounded in research and creative, and were also paired with strategies that helped us identify key audience segments and effective ways to inspire them to support NC State.”

Case Study

Saint Joseph’s University

Saint Joseph’s University has been a beacon of Jesuit education for over 100 years. In the early 2000s, enrollment in local Catholic high schools began to decline and it became imperative that Saint Joseph’s reach beyond their region in recruiting. Saint Joseph’s partnered with SimpsonScarborough in an effort to strengthen their brand and differentiate themselves in the crowded Philadelphia higher ed market.
