Dear Campus Community,<\/h1>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

For the last several years, Colorado College has engaged in a collective effort to refresh how we express who we are\u2014and ultimately, to share the CC story confidently and authentically to new and familiar audiences. The result is the latest reflection of our CC, shared creativity, and the many voices that make CC what it is.<\/p>\n

The majority of brands are experienced in moments and incremental touchpoints\u2014making it difficult to see the scope of the platform. With gratitude for our community\u2019s collective contributions to this work, I\u2019m delighted to invite you to a one-day immersive showcase\u2014specifically for our campus community\u2014that offers a holistic view of the efforts to date and a preview of what\u2019s ahead as we move from building the foundation to sharing our story in new ways that deepen engagement.<\/p>\n

Join us Friday, Feb. 20, from 1-4 p.m. in the Cornerstone Main Space<\/strong> to step inside the work we\u2019ve been developing together and experience how it comes to life. At the showcase, you\u2019ll explore a robust sampling of brand elements developed so far:<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

Messaging Framework<\/strong>

Visual Identity<\/strong> 
Discover how color, pattern, and iconography come together to create a visual system that reflects CC\u2019s place, character, and identity in a way that is uniquely and undeniably CC.<\/p>\n

Web and Digital<\/strong>
Experience how the CC story comes to life in dynamic ways through our new website and interactive story platform\u2014designed for exploration and engagement that keeps CC top of mind with key audiences.<\/p>\n

Experiential and Environmental<\/strong>
Discover how the brand shows up in the real world through print, enrollment marketing, event branding and experiences, and the daily rhythm of campus.<\/p>\n

On the Horizon<\/strong>
Get a sneak peek at proof-of-concept work and insights into the next chapter\u2014the chapter where CC\u2019s brand spreads in the form of new mediums and campaigns and will be infused across Athletics and the Fine Arts Center, the front doors of our CC. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

As you explore the showcase, please know that this is also a space for conversation. Throughout the afternoon, you\u2019ll be invited to ask questions, share ideas, and engage directly with the Office of Communications & Marketing team members guiding this work on our collective behalf.<\/p>\n

The Brand Showcase is both an expression of gratitude to all of you who contributed to the work and a rare opportunity to see the main points of the brand refresh efforts on display. I hope you\u2019ll join us for this special, campus-only event.<\/p>\n

Warmly,<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
