Case study challenge - Strategy by Mortar Creative Advertising San Francisco

The Challenge

—

GGU wanted to promote their undergraduate program to adult students who didn’t stick to their commitment and complete their degree. So how do we get them back into a world they’ve been out of for so long?

Strategic Decision

—

Appeal to students who discontinued their pursuit of a diploma, with marketing that looks nothing like ads for continuing education.

The A-Ha Moment

—

No matter what made you stop, you can always finish what you started.
