Human Dimensions of Organizations, The University of Texas at Austin

Overview

The University of Texas at Austin launched a new Master’s degree program in Liberal Arts that needed branding, messaging and promotion to the business and student communities in Texas.

Objectives

Communicate the unique advantage of the Human Dimensions of Organizations’ Master of Arts program to prospective students, recruit the first class of students, and engage support from local business leaders.

Strategies

Accolades PR developed strategic planning on a monthly basis, met weekly to coordinate priorities with the Associate Director, and implemented action steps of the integrated communications plan on an ongoing basis.

The PR team worked closely with the Human Dimensions of Organizations staff to develop precise messaging that articulated the value of the program for prospective students for corporations.

The PR firm bridged the gap between the conceptual vision of the program and the business value that the program could bring to Texas companies.

The Accolades team developed thought leadership topics of interest to companies and corporations desiring independent thinkers with a multi-disciplinary approach to problem solving. The pain points of companies that the HDO program could address are around the topics listed below:

  • Global Business and Cultures
  • Communications and Social Media
  • Leadership and Original Thinking
  • Talent Acquisition
  • Motivation and Retention
  • Change Management and Business Transformation
  • Consumer Behavior and Big Data
  • Product Development
  • Conflict and Persuasion

Accolades provided marketing support for introductory seminars and conducted media outreach as these events were held in targeted cities across Texas. The team developed core media documents (including fact sheets,) bios, press releases, and targeted media lists to use during this process.

Accolades clearly articulated the potential value and impact the program could have on student careers and companies seeking global leadership teams. Strategic networking and outreach to business leaders and organizations was accomplished on an ongoing basis to Texas business communities.
Cynthia Baker developed key strategic partnerships with supporting organizations and community groups.

Accolades PR introduced potential board members to HDO and guided the board formation. Cynthia Baker worked directly with Phyllis Snodgrass and Susan Davenport to explore ways the Austin Chamber of Commerce and HDO could strategically work together toward common goals.

Results

Within an 8-month period, the client benefited from the following results:

  • Established HDO’s positioning and messaging to explain a complex program with multiple priorities to the key audiences of students, business, the media, and the public at large.
  • Introduced the program to C-level executives in the Austin business community creating ongoing awareness and brand building within the business community.
  • Gained media coverage by the Austin Business Journal, Fort Worth Business Press, Fox 7 News, press release announcements and guest columns in the Austin Business Journal and Smart Business Magazine.
  • Leveraged business relationships and networking to create a successful introductory event at The University of Texas at Austin with key business targets represented.

PR & Communications

BRAND PROMISE, MESSAGE STRATEGY & THE STORY

Messaging is a critical marketing strategy to create alignment within the organization to articulate the story consistently and in a uniform way. This messaging brings the entire organization in alignment with everyone from the receptionist to the sales team to the tradeshow staff to executives – all describing the company and its value proposition with the same messaging or “elevator pitch.” The power of knowing the voice of the company and how to describe the company, its value and key offerings will help to move prospects toward buying decisions, partners towards strategic relationships and influencers towards engagement. We will refine current messaging for communication channels with supporting proof points to capture the interest of the media, partners, target decision-makers and consumers.

MEDIA KIT

In our digital world, reporters expect to download corporate information and graphics directly from your website as they cover your company in a story. A media kit is needed to maximize accurate media coverage.

MEDIA & INFLUENCER RELATIONS

We will establish and strengthen your credibility as an expert voice with the media and among industry influencers. With a long term, engagement, we can guarantee article placements in targeted publications and/or broadcast media.

NEWS RELEASES

We will identify strategic announcements and accomplishments to be the subject of a news release. We will work with you to establish the pace of releases based upon newsworthy topics, accomplishments and business wins.

NEWSLETTERS

We work to keep your customers and business partners informed on a regular basis of your expertise and industry knowledge in order to spark interest, business collaboration and sales.

THOUGHT LEADERSHIP & SPEAKER PROGRAMS

Being viewed as an expert by speaking in front of the right audiences can increase credibility, increase the sphere of influence and expand your brand reputation. Article placement adds to the reach and the opportunities to connect with the right audiences.

REPUTATION MANAGEMENT

A negative online review or negative press coverage can seriously damage the brand reputation of a company. We develop proactive plans and messaging for companies, as needed, to be prepared with a strategic, on-target response in the case of sensitive or controversial media situations.
