Brand Agency Presentations Start Next Week

All Canisius faculty and staff are invited to attend presentations and provide feedback as three branding agencies pitch their services to the college. This is the next step to follow the research completed earlier this year by Simpson Scarborough.

The first agency presentation, which will include an opportunity for questions and answers, is with Ologie on Tuesday (October 25) at 2 p.m. in the Montante Cultural Center.  Refreshments will be provided.  Two other national agencies, Mindpower and 160over90, will give presentations on November 1 and November 2 respectively, also at 2 p.m. Additional details will be released soon.

One of these agencies will be selected to partner with Canisius to aid in the development of an integrated marketing and branding campaign designed to enhance and extend the visibility and reputation of the college.
