3/9 Through long conversations on campus, Brainworks helped us recognize our value and created an innovative idea that helps students engage with us. At the end of our first year using Brainworks publications, both our freshman and transfer yield increased by a staggering 20%!

4/9 From market research, to on-campus focus group interviews, to concept, to copy, to photography... everything was done with the utmost professionalism, ingenious creativity, in a timely manner and with the highest quality standards. Brainworks was able to capture the soul, the feel of the university in concept, copy and graphics. The attention to detail and the commitment to getting the job done right, and on time, was extraordinary. Campus reaction to completed pieces has been overwhelming... talk about "emotional response communication"! Even people who have been here for years are seeing the campus with a new appreciation. They've made me a campus hero!

5/9 With the Brainworks designed/produced viewbooks and advertising campaign, City College New York's enrollment has increased far above the national curve. Fall 2003 enrollment jumped 15% over Fall 2002, with the largest increase (+44) among new freshmen; Fall 2004 enrollment increased nearly 7% over Fall 2003. Our Fall 2002 pre-Brainworks enrollment was 10,400; with Brainworks materials, it is currently 12,600.

6/9 Working with Brainworks was one of the best experiences of my professional life. They were able to analyze our needs and produce materials that not only met those needs, but far exceeded our expectations. Already the freshman class is up 22%. In three years there has been an increase in application by over 40% and an increase in SAT scores by 30 points.

7/9 Brainworks not only captured an immediate understanding of the type of student we were looking to attract, but also delivered customized publications, which identified key features that made Manhattan College truly distinctive. Our objective was more qualitative than quantitative, but we ended up with both. We realized record results and accomplished recruiting more commuter students and our inquiry and applicant pools dramatically.

8/9 Creating A marketing/communications campaign is a big project. You must answer the big questions - who you are and who you want to be - but also deal with the nitty-grittly, the details and policies of complex academic curricula and services. Brainworks operates well at both these levels. They come in and on site research with faculty, staff, and students and tell you things about your school you need to know to make strategic decisions. They also get pencil to paper fast so the viewbook quickly becomes a working draft document. They stay on top of it and on top of you, which is crucial to keeping things moving. And, by the way, they are smart. And wait until you see what their wide-angle images do for your communications. Applications for the full-time program are up 30%, substantially due to the campaign.

9/9 Brainworks engaged our organization in a way that helped define a new and more powerful vision for the school. They understood at a more basic level than we did that our research-based education had to be portrayed in a very human context. This they did, and it has fundamentally changed the way our community views the power and elegance of our work. It's not always enough to be a leader in your field - you have to look like and communicate that standard at the most basic and effective level. This was the magic of Brainworks.
