NC State University MBA Program

What We Found

Initially engaged for a website redesign over five years ago, VisionPoint Marketing has become the sole web marketing partner of NC State University’s Jenkins MBA program.

When we first met, relatively few people knew NC State had an MBA program. And if they did, they weren't quite clear on what the program stood for. In a region full of top-tier business programs like Duke University’s Fuqua School of Business and UNC-Chapel Hill’s Kenan-Flagler School of Business, the Jenkins MBA program simply did not stand out.

What We Did

The first step in communicating the program's value was to refine its messaging. Through research with deans, faculty, staff and students, five key messaging points or 'pillars' - Technology Focus, Real Projects with Real Companies, Academic Rigor, Cross Disciplinary Partnerships and Value - were defined as the central themes for the program and its marketing efforts.

Over the years - as a true partner - we’ve applied this messaging to the Program’s website, content strategy, print materials, social media strategy, a mobile version of the site, online outreach campaigns (paid search, banner ads and Facebook ads) and even billboards, radio spots and the design of Jenkins’ interior space at their satellite campus in Research Triangle Park.

Now, Jenkins MBA is ranked 5th in the South according to Bloomberg Businessweek, enrollment is at an all-time high and Jenkins faculty and staff are doing what they do best: educating the next class of business professionals.
