The Importance of Brand Strategy
The mainstream advertising paradigm is push. You develop your message and then force it onto your target audience via repetition. Madison Avenue has developed sophisticated and highly refined mechanisms for calculating this push. But if you work at a nonprofit academic institution, your ability to employ push is limited – if not non-existent. You might as well throw those chapters of your marketing textbooks away. They don’t apply to you (unless your administration is going to restructure their budgets and devote a significantly greater fraction to marketing). This is why a disciplined and proven brand strategy is so essential to academic institutions. With so little ability to use the traditional tools of push-based advertising, it is critical that every one of your communications, even the most casual, conveys your marketing message. You don’t have TV commercials. You need everything – your stationery, sweatshirts, school tour, website, Facebook page, admissions materials, fundraisers – to carry your message. As an academic institution, you are swimming upstream in a commercial world. You use a brand strategy to accomplish your goals.
