True Blue Brand Week

True Blue Brand Week Part 2

Georgia Southern University continues its collaboration with Carnegie, a higher education marketing and enrollment strategy firm, to define its identity and create a data-driven market positioning strategy. 

Your input, gathered through in-person workshops and online surveys in September, has been crucial in this process. 

In February, Carnegie will return to campus for True Blue Brand Week (Part 2) to deliver the results of September’s True Blue Brand Week research and to take us through the market data that will position us for the future.

Elevate Georgia Southern University!

Join us in a transformative journey as we elevate the Georgia Southern brand. Partner with Carnegie, the renowned higher education reputation strategy firm, in an initiative that seeks to capture the essence of “who we are” and chart a course for our University’s future.  This project will take several months to complete, and ultimately culminate in a new reputation strategy and communication platform for the institution.

Why Carnegie?

Carnegie is celebrated for its unique, crowd-sourced, and consensus-driven approach, ensuring results that resonate with authenticity. Their pioneering methodology has not only been showcased on the cover of The Chronicle of Higher Education but has also been adopted by institutions nationwide.

Your Voice Matters!

The heart of this project? YOU.

The success of this endeavor hinges on the insights and perspectives of those who know Georgia Southern best. That’s where you come in.

Participate in September!

Mark your calendars for two of 11 available live workshops this September. Your insights are invaluable, and we urge you to rally your colleagues and peers to join in too. 

You are encouraged to participate in as many workshops for which you are eligible. For instance, if you attend a personality workshop, please also attend a messaging workshop.
