Purpose and focus

The purpose of the campaign was to generate interest in the University of Borås and encourage more people to choose the university as their first choice.

With the concept First choice for curious minds, we highlighted the University of Borås as a choice for curious and independent students. The focus was on hands-on, practical education programs that provide the tools to question, change, and make a difference.

FAQ

What is a message platform?

Your narrative, your core messages, and your tone of voice gathered so that the entire organization can use them. It determines what you say, before the choice of channels determines where.

In practice, it is a short document: what you do, for whom, why it matters, and what evidence you rely on. Plus what it sounds like when a salesperson, a recruiter, and a CEO say the same thing in their own words.

The benefit becomes apparent when several people need to communicate at the same time. Without a platform, every initiative becomes a new negotiation about what applies. With it in place, work goes faster and the messages remain cohesive over time.

We already have a brand platform, do we need this?

Often, yes. The brand platform says who you are; the communication strategy says how you tell it, and to whom.

Brand work usually stops at position, promise, and values. This is the right basis, but it says nothing about which target groups should be reached first, which issues you should own in the debate, or what you should answer when someone questions you.

We therefore start with what you already have. If the platform holds, we build on it. If it does not match reality, we say so, with a proposal for what needs to be adjusted.

How do we start?

With a conversation about the current situation. Then we say what is needed. Sometimes it is less than you think.

The conversation is about where you stand, what you have tried, and what is causing the friction. We would love to see what you have already produced, regardless of how finished it is. That tells us more than a brief.

After that, you will receive a recommendation: a proposal for the first step, what it means in terms of time, and how much it costs. If you choose to do it yourself from there, the material is yours to use.
