The Challenge

What we were up against

Sallie Mae needed a robust marketing campaign to rebrand them as a caring leader, parent and school counselor partner, and resource in financial education and college planning.

Our Approach

How we made it happen

Resources were designed to educate students and parents about financial planning for college, including a national competition, targeted email campaigns to school counselors, PTA leaders, and homeschool families, flyers, banner ads, and the Payingforcollegeresource.com website. The program ran successfully for over 5 years.
