Creativity can be one of the most powerful differentiators in student recruitment, and Sweet Briar College’s recent partnership with Liaison’s creative team proves just how transformative bold ideas can be. This session shares the story of how collaborating with a dedicated Liaison Enrollment Marketing writer and designer helped Sweet Briar break out of the traditional enrollment marketing mold. Working together, they created imaginative acceptance pieces, including an artist-inspired poster, postcard, and even branded bracelets, wristlet pouches, and water bottles. What began as a simple request for a fresh approach to yield communications evolved into a uniquely designed line of t-shirts now sold in the campus store, strengthening brand identity, student engagement, and a partnership between creative minds. Attendees will gain insight into how strategic creative partnerships and mutual trust can elevate institutional storytelling, drive engagement, and inspire outside-the-box thinking in their own enrollment efforts.
