Beyond Academics is a Higher Education consulting firm that is transforming the future of colleges and universities across the country. They needed a brand that told their story and inspired change. After working with Fortress to create a powerful online presence, Beyond Academics and its team of thought leaders are now recognized on a national level.
Fortress was tasked to create a website that connects colleges and universities to the innovators at Beyond Academics, while also establishing the firm as though leaders in their industry through shareable content, online events, podcasts, and social media presence.
The iconic logo and user-friendly website that we created with Beyond Academics allowed the firm’s clients to connect and engage with the BA team in a way that was true to the innovation that the brand is built on. Events, podcasts, video production, and more all serve to establish Beyond Academics as leaders in the space.
To become a thought leader, you have to present those thoughts in a way that is engaging to your audience. With video production for Beyond Academics, we were able to help their team reach their target audience in a way that created interest and conversation around today’s Higher Ed trends.
