The University of Manchester knew it offered its students something unique, beyond their core academic area of study. They wanted to identify what made the University of Manchester’s offer attractive and distinctive in order to use this intelligence as a recruitment tool to market the University to prospective students.

The University approached us to help them conduct extensive workshops with staff and prospective students to better understand what their unique offer was. From this, we identified a package of activities we called ‘Stellify’.

‘Stellify’ is a major university-wide programme of activities and opportunities supported by a communications campaign. It seeks to demonstrate how the University equips its graduates with the core attributes needed to make a positive impact on the real world, ranging from social justice, ethical leadership and community action, to global connections and multiculturalism. 

Stellify brand elements

The campaign uses a range of channels from print and display graphics, to a website featuring a pledge wall, email campaign, social media and ambient installations to engage with current students.
