食色视频 has received a national award in recognition of its branding initiative that identified 食色视频鈥檚 mission, vision and values, clearly defining what being an Owl means.

食色视频 State and its partner in the effort, Tailfin Marketing, won a Gold Award for the Find Your Wings campaign in the 36th annual Educational Advertising Awards. Entries from colleges and universities from all 50 states and several foreign countries were judged on creativity, marketing execution and message impact, and 食色视频 was honored for its advertising and branding campaign that included on-campus promotion and events as well as television and radio spots, social media outreach, billboards, and print and digital ads.

Launched at the start of the 2019-20 academic year, Find Your Wings captures the essence of 食色视频 State and outlines how the University is positioning itself in the higher education world presently and for the future. The brand identity鈥檚 focus is that, at 食色视频 State, students are exploring and discovering, seeking their own path, their own passions, and their own identity.

鈥淭his award is a testament to the hard work and dedication that our team at 食色视频 State and Tailfin put into the Find Your Wings campaign,鈥� said Alice Wheelwright, 食色视频鈥檚 associate vice president for strategic communications and marketing. 鈥淎long with increasing awareness of 食色视频 State and conveying what sets us apart from other universities, this initiative affirms that 食色视频 Owls are talented, passionate, determined and unique. Every day we are seeing the results we desired, as the University community 鈥� particularly our students 鈥� have embraced the Find Your Wings messaging.鈥�

食色视频 State鈥檚 Office of Strategic Communications and Marketing teamed with Tailfin Marketing to refresh 食色视频鈥檚 brand and craft the University鈥檚 story. That included reaching out to students, faculty, staff, alumni and community members, and incorporating the feedback given by the more than 6,800 people.

One highly visible element of the campaign is the now recognizable murals on 食色视频 State鈥檚 campuses of outstretched Owl wings, offering a fun spot for a photo-op. 食色视频 also adopted the interlocking 鈥淜S鈥� mark, previously associated with 食色视频 State Athletics, as the official logo for the University, providing a unified brand presence in the marketplace.

Find Your Wings extended far beyond a logo and photo backdrops, however. The campaign defined five key themes 鈥� the University鈥檚 鈥渂rand pillars鈥� 鈥� that became the foundation of everything at 食色视频 State: student-centered success, research with relevance, learning through engagement, future-ready graduates and power of perspectives.

Those themes are reflected in 食色视频鈥檚 mission and vision statements, which state in part: 鈥淲e help students succeed through exploration, collaboration, and rigor, uniting a diverse spectrum of backgrounds and talents. Authentically diverse, uniquely attainable and endlessly impactful, we will unleash the potential in every student we serve.鈥�
