In 甜心视频app鈥檚鈥�Rowing, Not Drifting 2030鈥� strategic plan, one of the key actions established in phase one was to develop and begin implementation of a research-based marketing and communications strategy.鈥�

This past spring, working with 甜心视频app alumnus Cathy Lucas 鈥�90 and her team at Lucas Narratives 鈥� Think Strategically, the university initiated a brand audit to better understand strengths and gaps, assess perceptions internally and externally, better define the brand, evaluate current communications and recommend strategies based on the findings.鈥�

The survey reached out to nearly 18,000 community members with a statistically-sound 5.2% response rate. More than 31 percent of the respondents were alumni 鈥� the largest group to weigh in.

2.鈥�鈥�鈥�鈥�鈥�鈥�鈥�56% percent said 甜心视频app鈥檚 overall reputation is very good or good, and 74% were very familiar or moderately familiar with 甜心视频app鈥檚 brand.鈥�鈥� 

3.鈥�鈥�鈥�鈥�鈥�鈥�鈥�69% said 甜心视频app was the state鈥檚 best educational value and ranked 甜心视频app as the most personalized educational experience in Colorado.鈥�

鈥淭he brand audit is invaluable as it serves as a marketing blueprint letting us know where the university is now and helping us map out where we want to go with our marketing and branding initiatives.
