THE WORK BEHIND THE IMPACT

Turned an ambitious vision into a campaign people supported.

THE CHALLENGE

Built momentum for the public phase of an ambitious capital campaign.

The University was preparing for the most ambitious fundraising effort in its history. The capital campaign's purpose was to grow the endowment, build new facilities and support academic programs, faculty and student scholarships.

It needed a unifying communications and branding strategy that would engage donors, students, alumni

and University partners and

inspire support.

THE APPROACH

Created a campaign platform that united the University community around a shared vision.

 

Imagine Consulting partnered with the University's President and Office of Development to develop the campaign branding and communications strategy.

Our work included: 

Strategy, branding, messaging, stakeholder engagement, campaign video, event materials, fundraising and stakeholder collateral, campus signage, advertising, and magazine and campaign content.

THE IMPACT

Made UT’s campaign vision and fundraising goals a reality.

 

 

The campaign communications brought donors, students, alumni and University partners into the story, connecting UT's vision

and mission with the people

whose support helped move

them forward.

The result was a record-setting campaign that will have a lasting impact on students, the University and future generations.

$160M+

GENERATED BY THE CAPITAL CAMPAIGN

Advanced UT's vision and opportunities to transform lives for generations to come.

THE CAMPAIGN IN ACTION

 

Brought the story to life across every touchpoint.

 

Campaign communications extended across video, campus signage, advertising, editorial content, stakeholder materials, fundraising collateral and campaign events.
