University of Connecticut

A university where having new ideas is the idea

People have always seen UConn (especially during March Madness), but they weren’t seeing the full story – a top public university that was producing world-changing research through innovative partnerships. So it was time for a reintroduction.

We developed a brand platform (and subsequent campaigns) to show everyone that big ideas don’t come from thin air—they come from years of research and experimentation, innovation, perseverance and collaboration. They come from UConn, in blue and white, and go on to change the world.

UConn Health

Supported by a state grant and exciting early data, the UConn Indoor Air Quality Initiative was poised to transform the health of thousands of students across Connecticut. We developed unique brand elements and a suite of digital and communication materials for IAQI to engage partner schools and show that out of the box thinking sometimes comes in a box.
