Services

  • Audience Segmentation + Analysis
  • Program Strategy

The Tufts Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) program offers a unique accelerated hybrid education model to students in Boston and newly, in Phoenix, AZ. We helped them build brand awareness across the country and diversify their applicant pool.

THE CHALLENGE

Brand Awareness + Recruitment

Tufts University School of Medicine was facing increasing competition in the DPT space, as well as encountering a lack of brand awareness outside of the Northeast US.

With two programs in two locations and more on the horizon, it was critical for the program to differentiate its offerings without creating internal competition

The Results

A Multi-Channel Media Mix

The Viv team created a media strategy and developed all related creative assets to promote the DPT program’s locations in Boston, MA, and Phoenix, AZ. Our work spanned billboards in key geographic areas to Spotify radio ads to social media and search engine advertisements.

The Results

4,000+

We recently worked with Viv to develop brand identities for two academic programs. Their team expertly managed the project, kept us on track, and ensured we were thorough every step of the way. The result was a polished branding toolkit that will help us maintain consistent messaging and visuals. Viv went above and beyond, taking great care to ensure the final product reflected exactly what we needed. Their work will be a tremendous asset moving forward.
