The School of Communications and Theater

Study Away Program The School of Communications and Theater Study Away Program is organized by Assistant Director Erin Palmer. The program is designed to give Temple students the opportunity to experience the cultures of London, England or Dublin, Ireland as part of a semester spent abroad.

Campaign Summary Our goal for the School of Communications and Theater’s Study Away Program was to recreate this brand’s image, and to attract more students to information sessions to learn about studying away. We started this process by creating two postcards, one for the London Program, and one for the Dublin Program. These cards have images and copy that successfully represent the program, and appeal to the target market. We planned to reformat and host an existing information session. In order to make this information session a success, we pulled out a barrage of promotion during the week leading up to the event, this included handing out our postcards, and the use of a life-size British telephone booth to attract and hold attention. In the days prior to the event we sent out an e-mail blast to Temple SCT students, as another way to promote the event. We created a panel discussion, featuring students who have participated in SCT’s Study Away Program in the past. They told fun and exciting stories of their trips, and answered prospective students’ questions in an honest and, many times, a humorous manner. The prospective students reacted very positively to this style of information sharing; many of them expressed their interest in the programs immediately. We have met both campaign goals successfully, and will hopefully continue to develop concepts and materials for The School of Communications and Theater’s Study Away Program.

Creative Summary When faced with the challenge of rebranding the School of Communications and Theater’s Study Away Program, our creative team felt a bit conflicted. We wanted the brand to appeal to the young and hip college crowd, but also to accentuate the rich history and tradition maintained by both London and Dublin.

By putting our own spin on a few trends popular in contemporary British design, we effectively communicated the young and hip appeal of these two beautiful and historical cities.

We kept the look classic by using simplified color schemes and silhouettes of famous symbols (The Royal Crown and Celtic knots) and landmarks related to each city (Big Ben and Dublin Castle, among others). We incorporated stenciled and splattered looks to give the brand a gritty and adventurous feel, which will appeal to students looking to travel. This look is very versatile, and can be applied to all future promotional items and literature.
