Anybody that has gone through a brand review process knows that getting stakeholders aligned on key messaging is no easy task. It is certainly a challenge to put together a message map (like this one from the University of Missouri Extension) and then to cascade it throughout an institution.

On episode 41, we explore these topics with Deborah Maue, VP of Strategic Marketing and Communications at Columbia College in Chicago and co-author of the 2015 Higher Ed Branding survey. In the interview, Deb discusses how to use research to align on messaging, the role workshops can plan in teaching colleagues to communicate the key messaging in an authentic way and the value of a messaging map, among other topics.

If you are thinking about how to approach a branding exercise within your group or institution, then you certainly won’t want to miss this episode.

At the conclusion of the interview, I discuss my new free Media Training for Academics mini-course which I will be delivering via Periscope.
