THE COBB
MONTESSORI SCHOOL



Brand building for an
esoteric academic institution

title


Background:


Despite its 30-year history most area parents had no perception of the school beyond its private status and high cost. Additionally, "Montessori" was a foreign, esoteric concept. Yet, the school was/is the best in the region.






Challenge:


In a highly competitive educational environment the goal was to develop a leadership brand for the school as the absolute best place for a child's education...and well worth the cost.






Solution:


Step 1: Marketing Therapy consulting which determined the need for more aggressive, creative marketing to leverage The Cobb School attributes.


Step 2: Create a strong, positive, tagline.


Step 3: Create a strong, positive and memorable direct mail piece targeting the local parents.


Step 4: Replace expensive, ineffective local print ads with more effective web marketing via a compelling and informational video testimonial campaign featured on the school website, Facebook page, and YouTube. The videos could also be adapted to local cable TV.


Step 5: Add some guerrilla marketing to help generate local buzz and press.
