Helping Curry grow enrollment and modernize its marketing
Triad has partnered with Curry College for more than 5 years, providing branding and advertising for its undergraduate, graduate and continuing education divisions.
As a small, private liberal arts college just 7 miles from Boston, one of the country’s most well-known college towns, Curry was facing an awareness and brand perception challenge. Big careers start at Curry – and our goal was to share that message. Our solutions included a refreshed undergraduate brand, around the rallying cry, “Dream Bigger,” and a multi-year engagement with the school’s grad and continuing ed division that completely changed the way the team markets.
