Intentional Branding: A Messaging Strategy That Resonates

Bart and Troy return for a conversation with Janice Supplee, VP for Enrollment and Communications at Cedarville University, around intentional branding in higher ed messaging. 

Janice shares how Cedarville’s “One Thousand Days” metaphor has not only defined the institution’s identity but also shaped its approach to student development and marketing strategy. She emphasizes the importance of consistent messaging, intentionality in brand communication, and building a high-capacity team that embodies the university’s mission.
