Project: Strategic Planning & Focus Groups

In the face of declining student enrollment, Legg Work was retained to conduct an analysis of its student outreach, recruitment, retention, budget, printed materials and tracking methods. Legg Work initiated an internal exploration that assessed those areas, as well as scanned the external and internal environments in which the college marketing must perform, and she presented new strategies for the college to secure its market share. The following year, Legg Work was recommissioned to host focus groups with high school seniors to gain better insights into their college deliberations.

Client Comments:

“We incorporated Maureen’s recommendations into our two-year marketing plan and I’m pleased to say that we have experienced enrollment increases each semester since. Regarding the focus groups, her analysis has been very helpful in designing our outreach efforts to seniors. Maureen is thorough, professional and fun to work with—I highly recommend her.”
