UMAINE

Stagnant enrollment and an outdated image meant that the University of Maine Augusta’s campus needed a new strategy for communications and recruitment. Trampoline started by creating a fresh look for the College and an identity system for its branch locations across the state.

We also created a tagline as an aspirational positioning, but also to start conversations with perspective students. “Declare Your Future” set the tone for outbound marketing pieces and admissions counselors to build the UMA brand—and step out of the shadow of bigger state campuses to the north and south.

The results have been immediate:

over a single recruitment cycle, with redesigned materials and website in place, out-of-state admissions at Augusta are up 15%—the highest in the state of Maine.
