OUTREACH CAMPAIGN // UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON

UW IS WHERE THE HEART IS

This outreach campaign promoted the launch of the new ArtsUW website to increase engagement with Arts performances, galleries and courses available to current UW students.

CASE STUDY

AT A GLANCE

The University of Washington sought to make the arts part of every student’s experience and the College of Arts & Sciences aims to create ways for students to use the arts as a way to view, interact with, and impact the world. This includes curricular innovations, new courses and new channels to communicate the value of the arts to students. Part of this new arts initiative a marketing campaign was necessary to heighten brand awareness and encourage current students of all majors to engage in the arts at UW's Seattle Campus.

    

GOALS & OBJECTIVES 


  • Increase awareness of the arts performance, events, venues, and courses available to current UW students.
     
  • Convey the value of the arts and how it enriches student experiences regardless of major or areas of study though multiple channels (websites, email, social media, and outreach events)
