UGA Stick Around for Summer Campaign
One of UGA's key goals is to increase retention and graduation rates. UGA encourages students to take summer classes to stay on track to graduate.
I wrote this campaign, starting with research in talking to students and advisors. The campaign, relies on targeted audiences and key stakeholders to promote summer classes. The multi-faceted campaign includes bus ads, targeted emails to students who haven't yet registered, talking points to advisors, and more. In 2023, we added text messages. Classes saw 5% increases year over year, and in 2022 saw a 10% increase in hours taken.
This campaign won a Phoenix Award at the state level, and in 2023 won a Silver Anvil Award of Excellence from PRSA National.
