GOALS & OBJECTIVES
- Increase positive awareness of the brand among potential students, parents and community
- Increase inquiries and applications

- Target the Oak Creek and Mequon campuses for growth
IMPLEMENTATION
Boelter + Lincoln developed a multi-media awareness campaign targeting 17-24 year-olds with 25-54 year-olds as a secondary target. B+L timed media flights during enrollment periods with broadcast as the driving force and out-of-home placements, including 30-sheets and transit signage, as reinforcement. Additionally, B+L used newspaper to target Hispanic and African-American audiences, and interactive to market the new MATC website.
RESULTS
