HVCC’s mission is to meet students’ needs and empower them to thrive. Today, they prioritize personalized learning, affordability, and practical experience to maximize the educational journey. Through emotive documentary-style portraits, personal testimonials, and insight from educators, we pitched a campaign positioning HVCC as the smart choice for a smarter generation. HVCC helps students to unlock opportunity, embrace financial equity, and maintain flexibility in learning through individualized paths. The bold graphic visual system and voice, fresh palette and photography, and real-life quotes carry this campaign through to sales materials and kits, social media promotion, environmental marketing, a new splash page for the web, and branded swag for trade and community events. The utilization of direct testimonials from the HVCC community positions this campaign seamlessly for both internal and external use. Community college is no longer a safe choice, but a smarter choice.
