Waterloo launches a new brand expression: You+Waterloo
University Relations recently launched the University’s new You+Waterloo brand expression. Created in collaboration with campus partners and with audience input, this new expression aligns with Waterloo’s strategic priorities and our existing brand platform and visual identity.
You+Waterloo is replacing the BEYOND brand expression and will help define marketing and communications activities for UR’s new brand awareness campaign, Advancement’s annual giving fundraising campaign and other key initiatives in the coming months.
In acknowledgement and celebration of our culture of collaboration and valued partnerships, the focus is on the connections and community that continue to advance Waterloo research and innovation at home and around the world. You+Waterloo calls on creators, explorers and boundary-pushing thinkers to join us in driving real-world solutions that meet today’s and tomorrow’s challenges. Whether engaging students, alumni, employers, funders, donors, faculty or staff, the message is the same: our greatest impact happens together.
Keep an eye out for new paid advertising across various media sites, YouTube and LinkedIn, as well as storytelling via our own digital and social channels. You can also check out some of the first campaign stories here.
It’s important to note that the BEYOND brand expression will continue in use for some departments where it is already in implementation and that application of new You+Waterloo communications is voluntary and based on appropriate timing and available resources.
Learn more on the Waterloo brand site, which includes the You+Waterloo guidelines. Questions or comments can be directed to Dawn Charlton, Director, Marketing and Brand or Christine Goucher, Associate Director, Creative Services.
