“Rise at Regis” Brand Campaign Elevates Brand and Enrollment for Regis College

Regis College, a co-educational, non-profit institution located just outside of Boston, offers a wide range of undergraduate, graduate, and professional programs across four academic schools. Known for its values-based education, strong focus on career readiness, and excellence in nursing and health sciences, Regis empowers students to grow both personally and professionally.

To boost enrollment and strengthen brand recognition in an increasingly competitive higher education landscape, Regis sought a more strategic, unified marketing approach that would better connect with prospective students and reflect the institution’s mission.

Solution

Regis College partnered with Chartwell Agency to develop and launch “Rise at Regis,” a full-service, multi-platform brand campaign designed to position Regis as a vibrant, supportive, and forward-thinking choice for students seeking to rise personally, professionally, and academically.

Strategy

To help Regis College stand out and reach prospective students more effectively, Chartwell Agency developed and implemented a fully integrated brand campaign. This comprehensive strategy spanned multiple platforms, inclusive of traditional and digital advertising, and emphasized the college’s values-based, career-focused education, elevating brand awareness, sparking engagement, and ultimately driving enrollment.

Chartwell worked closely with Regis to craft a cohesive campaign narrative that positioned the college as a place where students can rise academically, professionally, and personally.

The strategy included:

A bold campaign narrative and messaging platform: “Rise at Regis”
Visually compelling print collateral and campus banners
Engaging social media content and targeted advertisements
A fully developed video concept, including storyboard, script, and art direction
High-visibility billboards and transit ads to broaden reach
Digital advertising, including display ads, targeted emails, and connected TV (CTV)
