Challenge
Against the background of a decline in the number of students at Emden/Leer University of Applied Sciences, Ellery Studio was commissioned to develop a strategy for the university and the location. The goal was to make the university visible in national and international comparison and to create incentives for prospective students.
Process
The first analysis phase consisted of a content-related and structural examination of the status quo. Qualitative interviews, field research on site and in surrounding cities and universities, as well as stakeholder workshops with students, politics, business and administration formed the essential basis for the formulation of goals and strategies. The visual design was strongly guided by a peer-to-peer and user-centered approach. Subsequently, measures were derived and implemented. In addition, a monitoring system was introduced to evaluate the success of the designed measures.
