Abstract Stevens-Henager College, College America, California College San Diego and Independence University are four career colleges operated under one corporation owned by Carl B. Barney. These schools form an educational enterprise that stretches across Utah, Idaho, Colorado, Arizona, Wyoming and California. The combined strength of the brands total seventeen campuses and a student population of nearly 10,000. Carl Barney’s organizational goal is to be the biggest and best schools in each of these geographical areas. and to offer Associate, Bachelor, and Master degree programs in a variety of career fields. The colleges have been very successful but recognize the inherent problem of having four separate brand idintities that create a weaker market position and confusion with a national brand.

This campaign is about re-branding these four institutions into one unified brand that creates a corporate identity that will set them apart from competing schools and strengthen them as a nationally recognized brand. The corporation presently uses all four names as one administrative entity, but in the mind of students and the public they are separate colleges. This gives the wrong perception that they are small, local colleges and weakens the market position that they could create.

The corporation is ready to create an identity that effectively tells the world who they are, what they do and what they have to offer while at the same time establishing a relevant position as a national education brand. The goal is to create a stronger brand that will emotionally connect with the public by defining its unique selling propositions and a comprehensive marketing campaign.

The Importance of a Unified Brand

You can be the very best in the world at your business, but if no one knows about it, your business will fail. The goal of branding is to create an emotional tie with the public that will help them choose your company over the competition. Marketing experts convince businesses to spend millions of dollars every year to build successful brand strategies that make their business look better than its competition. A great brand becomes part of society that is recognized and loved by consumers because it offers a product that meets their needs and improves their life.

B2B International Business, commissioned by one of the United Kingdoms largest universities, did a brand positioning study to determine why students choose one college over another. “The research showed that the choice of a university as a place to study has as much to do with emotion as it does with logic. Therefore the brand of the University is a key driver in the choice. However, not many universities have actively managed their brands. Their brands have just grown rather than been shaped or managed” (Brand Positioning Research, B2B International).

The psychological needs of consumers require them to find a university that offers them the best benefit for their money and one that they can be proud to graduate from.

Stevens-Henager College College America Utah Colorado Idaho Arizona Wyoming

The three key rules of marketing are Brand

Identity, Brand Recognition, and Brand Loyalty.

The goal of branding is to create an emotional

tie with the public.

A great brand becomes part of society that is

recognized and loved by consumers because it

offers a product that improves their life.

“Success means never letting the competition

define you. Instead you have to define yourself

based on a point of view you care deeply about.”

In 1959 the name was changed to Stevens-Henager College. The main campus is in Ogden-West Haven, and branches were established in Provo, Utah, in June 1978; Salt Lake City, Utah, in August 1999; Logan, Utah, in October 2001; and in Boise, Idaho, in April 2004.

Independence University

Founded in 1978 as California College for Health Sciences and now known as Independence University, our institution has dedicated itself for more than 30 years to providing distance education to working adults. In 2005, CCHS became Independence University, a name that more accurately reflects the institution’s broader range of programs and its philosophy that education should lead to greater independence.

In 2010, Independence University merged with it’saffiliated institution, Stevens-Henager College.

California College San Diego Prior to moving to California in April 1976, CCRT(California College for Respiratory Therapy was located in Phoenix, Arizona, and was known as the Scottsdale Education Center, Upon moving to California, Scottsdale Education Center became California College for Respiratory Therapy and operated in San Diego from 1977 to 1980, CCRT changed its name in 1983 to California College for Health Sciences (CCHS).

In May 2003, the College was purchased by California College, Inc. and became the newest member of a family of schools that includes the Stevens-Henager Colleges in Utah and Idaho and the CollegeAmerica schools in Colorado, Wyoming, and Arizona. At that time, the name of the institution was changed to California College San Diego.(California College San Diego),

1.3 Demographics

Utah is demographically unique among states for a variety of reasons. The state’s population is younger and lives longer, and it has a higher number of persons per household than the nation as a whole. A hallmark of Utah’s demographic profile is its rapid rate of population increase.

Education is a high priority for Utah residents, and college-educated workers are reaping the benefits of a strengthening job market.

The national high school graduation rate is 70.1% with 63.3% of high school graduates going on to higher education degrees straight from high school.

59.3%

Population ages 18-64

By going to college, graduates are open to many more opportunities in the workplace that they wouldn’t have had with just a high school education. While the financial burden of going to college is high on students, the overwhelming majority will see a huge return on their investment, which makes going to college more than worthwhile. Statistics for college graduates change regularly each year, as well as the cost of getting a college education. The costs associated with getting a college education have increased greatly in recent years, but students still nearly always see a positive return on investment.

It is well known that on average the extra earnings a college graduate will receive far outweighs the tuition fees and all the other costs. On average college graduates earn around double the amount of high school graduates, again showing the advantage of getting a Bachelors degree.

High school graduates - $1.2 million during their lifetime.

Bachelors degree holders - $2.1 million during their lifetime. (Statistics On College Graduates)

that they have a strong presence in the markets that they

are in. They have viable programs that meet the needs of

students and employers within their markets. As they grow

and develop into a university system it will be vital that they

promotes their strengths and unique educational products.

Stevens-Henager College is losing market share due to

being out sold in marketing material by its competition

and will need to develop a strong brand awareness to the

community and businesses within its geographical areas of

interest.

The greatest areas of growth lie in developing online

programs that can be marketed nationwide and in building

business partnerships that will ensure that students and

businesses can be matched for employment needs.

2.2 Mood BoardStevens-Henager CollegeRebranding CampaignTim Miller

Stevens-Henager College, College America, California

College San Diego, and Independence University are

regional career colleges owned and operated by one

corporation. They are perceived as small reginal schools,

and not a cohesive brand. The absence of a unified brand

identity creates a market weakness that drives many

students to choose other educational instituitions and

has prevented the brand from growing into a strong

unified brand. The campaign project will unify the four

separate brands and created one unified brand, named

Capstone University.

The Capstone University brandmark is an arch with

a red center stone that capitalizes on the concept of

education being like a capstone in architecture, it is the

crowning piece of an arch, the center stone that holds

the arch together. Capstone University will play a similar

role in providing the strength and direction a student

needs to gain career, personal, finanancial, and other

lifelong benefits.

The new brand name and supporting materials

will reinforce the value of education as a crowning

achievement in the life of the student. The campaign

will refocus the brand as a nationwide university,

expand campus and online programs, and increase the

student populations in an effort to increase revenue.

2.3 Logo Development

A critical starting point for logo development is a well

defined brand. The logo is not the brand but acts as

the introduction and face of the brand. The first step

in designing a logo is to clearly define the brand and

to develop the logo with everything else the company

represents. The logo should reflect the essence of the

brand based on its position in the marketplace, the brand

promise, and what the business stands for and believes in.

The Capstone University logo was designed to capture

the brand essence in several ways:

• The logo was designed to be simple and readable. The

viewer should immediately be able to understand the

brand through the mark itself. The challenge is to create

a logo that is simple and immediate without being boring

or institutional.

• The logo should convey a sense of the personality of the

brand. The typography, the symbols, the shapes, and the

color palette all communicate the brand behind the logo.

• The logo should express the appropriate tone and

voice that articulates the brand strategy. The Capstone

University logo becomes the face of the brand and creates

a reputation that builds brand recognition and loyalty in

the marketplace.

• The logo should be flexible and work well on a wide

variety of mediums—not just on letterhead and business

cards. It should work in all mediums, on light or dark

backgrounds, large or small formats, web, and full-color

printing.

• The Capstone University logo was designed to look

different than other logos—especially with other colleges

and universities who share the same marketspace or target

audience. The goal was to strengthen the organization’s

uniqueness and to create a style that would present a face

to the brand that would capture the brands essence.

2.4 Print Media

Print media is considered to be one of the most effective

and best forms of advertising in the industries today.

Capstone University will be able to use print media to

reach its target audience with a wide array of options,

such as direct mail, newspapers and magazines.

Advantages of Print Media

One of the advantages of using newspapers and magazines

is that they have a loyal readership. If you are targeting a

particular geographical area, you can advertise Capstone

University programs and events in order to create interest

and build brand recognition. This form of advertising

makes it easy to control your advertisng budget, size of

the advertisement, and the time frame for the ad to run.

Direct mail is a great way to advertise because it enables

you to engage directly with the audience - whether they

are prospective students or existing students. Most people

look forward to receiving their daily mail, and a postcard

from Capstone University is an easy, affordable way for the

university to advertise and recruit new students. Direct

mail offers these benefits:

It’s Targeted

Direct mail can focus on an individual or a small geographic

area that are more likely to respond to your offer.

It’s Personal

Direct mail can address the customer by name, speak to

them individually, and appeal to their interests. And when

customers feel that you understand their needs, they’re

more likely to respond.

It’s Flexible

From letters to postcards to brochures, direct mail is

an inexpensive and easy way to create brand awareness

into a campaign. You can get your audiences attention by

including a special offer or free sample in the envelope.

It’s a Physical Reminder

Direct mail allows you to physically place your message

in the hands of your target audience and encourages

interaction. A powerful call to action can make an

unforgettable impression.

It’s Measurable and Cost Effective

Advertising budgets are sometimes hard to track to

determine their effectiveness. Direct mail gives you an

easy way to track the success of your campaign. Counting

the inquiries you receive directly as a result of the mailers

makes it easy to analyze your results,

History of Capstone University

Capstone University was founded in Salt Lake

City, Utah, in September 2010 as a result of

combining Stevens Henager College, College

America, Independence University, and

Community College San Diego. The

Universities purpose is to teach subjects that

place graduates in a position to find employment

opportunities and learn life long skills.

The history of the four combined schools make

it one of the oldest and most respected schools in

3.1 Introduction

Brand Style Guide

Introduction

The Capstone University brand

is a distinct identity designed to

emotionally connect with students,

alumni, business partners, and the

public. This connection separates

Capstone University from competitors

and creates a visual and perceptual

image that creates value and brand

loyalty with our target audience.

In order for Capstone University

and its partners to maintain the

visual integrity of the brand, we have

developed this style guide as a tool

that will ensure the proper application

of the logo, colors, and typography at

all times.

This Capstone University Brand Style

Guide provides samples and directions

that will guide you as you apply the

logo in a variety of applications.

We are dedicated to the consistent

application and precise production of

the logo. This will allow us to create

a unique and effective visual style that

will build public awareness of the

university. For further information or

if you have questions, please contact

Capstone University Logo

The Brandmark

The Capstone brandmark is an arch with a red center stone and equally spaced black horizontal line.

The Capstone University logo should appear on a white background and maintain the color palette at all times for the best impact and clarity. A one inch white space around the logo should be maintained at all times. If the logo is placed on a dark background, it should be positioned with a rectangle or oval background.

Logotype

The Logotype

The Capstone Logotype is made of the words “Capstone University” in uppercase. The typeface is Gill Sans.

Equal Space

Text aligned with flat portion of the brandmark on both sides

The oval cutout with or without gold is not part of the logo but helps build contrast with the logo and should be used whenever practical. The logo should be centered inside the oval cutout. The gold trim is not part of the logo but creates a feeling of wealth and the richness of the experience. When practical to the application, the gold should be used to enhance the logo.

The Capstone University business stationery plays an important role in branding the university. It is an official

communication tool between the school and its students, faculty, suppliers, lenders and other business associates.

Even in this day and age of internet and online communications, the need for custom stationery has not diminished.

Thousands of people walk or

drive past the University each day,

and the sign for the University is

one of the first things that catches

their attention.

The sign is like a hand shake with

the public and should reflect an

image that is inviting and friendly.

Brand awareness and loyalty starts

with creating positive experiences

each time someone comes in

contact with the University.

A sign is one of the least expensive

forms of advertising and needs very

little upkeep.

A Better Education A Better Choice

Advertising on a billboard sign is a preferred advertising medium that is

high-impact and cost-effective. With limitless possibilities for the design of

the Capstone University billboard and the opportunity to advertise 24/7 to

the traveling public, it will provide an effecient advertising medium to build

brand awareness.

Here are a few benefits of choosing billboard advertising over other media:

1. Billboard advertising grabs the attention of potential customers like no

other form of advertising can.

2. One of the most cost-effective

mediums of advertising.

3. Brand awareness and strong name

recognition.

4. Colorful, creative and eye-catching

ads have more impact.

5. Reaches out to thousands of people

on a daily basis.

6. Targets a specific audience according

to location.

7. Ads are not lost in the mix of

competitor and editorials.

8. Messages are delivered continuously

and frequently.

9. Directs potential clients and

On average, the US population spends two hours per day on the road. Vehicle advertising generates up to

70,000 views per day and is far less expensive than traditional radio and TV advertising. A bus wrap in selected

routes will allow you to target those areas that you would like in order to increase your admissions and creates

a great way of building brand awareness.

Top 5 Advantages Of Using Promotional

Products:

1. Tangible: Promotes repeat exposures.

2. Impact is easily measured.

3. Complements other advertising media.

4. Flexibility: Can easily target different

audiences.

5. Goodwill: Builds favorable perceptions.

In 2007, businesses spent $19.6 billion dollars

on promotional products. The big advantage

that promotional products have over other

advertising media is that the recipient almost

always keeps the item and the advertiser then

gets repeat exposure at no extra cost.

A great way to promote the university and to create loyalty is with items that carry the Capstone logo.

Promotional items are a constant reminder of the brand and an inexpensive way to build brand recognition.53

Student ID Cards allow students to recieve many of the services that are available on campus as well as discounts

to many events. Students can come to any campus Admissions & Records Office one business day after registering

for classes to have a photo ID card issued. Students must present a valid state or federally issued photo ID, such as

a Driver’s License, to receive their permanent (will not expire at the end of each semester) Student ID card. Lost or

stolen cards will need to be reported to an admissions office immediately, where a replacement card can be issued; a

replacement fee will apply.

ID cards for students taking

only Distance Learning

courses will be mailed. Student

ID cards are only available

through the Admissions &

Records Office.

The Student ID card is used

for campus services such as

libraries, testing centers, and

computer labs. Each semester,

after a student is registered

for classes, their student ID

card becomes valid for that

semester.

Contact an Admissions & RecordsOffice at any campus with questions about ACC Student ID cards.
