The "Connect & Succeed" campaign was built around CLC's mission to connect every student to a path of success, regardless of the obstacles or hesitations they might be facing. That connection takes many forms — in-person, online, with professors, with classmates, with transfer universities, and ultimately with the career of their dreams. To bring this to life, I developed a visual concept using graphic black-and-white photography of real students paired with simple, branded color blocks to playfully symbolize the obstacles students face and their journey to overcome them. I art directed all photography, casting actual students to ensure the campaign reflected a wide, authentic range of the population it was meant to represent. I then led the campaign's build-out across 11 distinct programs of study, scaling the concept into a full Fall marketing rollout across social media, digital ads, flyers, website pages, posters, postcards, and mailers.
