Engaging With Purpose.

Home | Work | Bowling Green State University

Bowling Green State University has a network of more than 200,000 alumni, students and other supporters worldwide — a strong number, but the challenge was to keep them engaged. We used smart data segmentation, authentic marketing outreach and yearlong events to stoke their love for BGSU and drive the success of its first comprehensive fundraising campaign.

Celebrating 100 Years

Creating an Experience to Match the Occasion.

Bowling Green State University celebrated its centennial in 2010. At centerpiece of the festivities was a reinvention of our annual Alumni Awards ceremony, which increased in scope to honor the most prominent graduates from the past 100 years. When the audience of more than 800 entered the ballroom, we wanted to create an experience they would never forget: Every detail was painstakingly crafted.

A Memento With the Heart and Soul of BGSU.

In addition to table settings, wall banners, written remarks and audiovisuals that created an environment celebrating BGSU’s rich history, each guest also received a full-color, 112-page program. The booklet featured a full-page biography and quote from each of the 100 honorees, as well as special highlights marking the historic milestone.

“I've collaborated with Joe on countless events. From planning and marketing to scripting and presentation, he's great at creating unforgettable experiences.”
