Transforming Reputation: Engineering the Path to Success

The Brighton School is a private first through twelfth-grade school for students with dyslexia and other language-based learning differences. Brighton has been serving the Baton Rouge community for over 50 years.

The Challenge

The Brighton School approached us with a need for communication support as educators and administration were handling all internal and external communication with no support or strategy. As we dove into the needs of the school, we realized that the real challenge lay in the lack of a dedicated team or person for communication as well as reputation management.

While the school is well-known in the Baton Rouge community, name changes and misunderstandings of who they serve were critical issues. This was hindering the school from growing enrollment and funds raised throughout the year.

The strategy

Based on the diverse scope of work needed, our team embedded ourselves into the school by allocating a couple of days a week where we would work on-site. This allowed us to build rapport with the faculty and staff, as well as, have a better grasp on the workings and needs on a day-to-day basis.

Along with our embedded support, we regularly met with the administration to identify the goals of the school to align our communication support. Our first goal was to change the reputation of the school to accurately reflect its mission. To do so, we knew we would need creative collateral, an updated website, and better messaging. Social media would play a critical role in disseminating these messages and showing the culture of the school.

Internally, there was a lack of organization and streamlined messaging to key stakeholders – parents, students, alumni, board members, and faculty. We surveyed the stakeholders to identify preferred communication methods. With this in mind, we created a weekly email for faculty, staff, and parents with reminders on upcoming events and news; and a monthly newsletter to keep board members and alumni informed and connected.

Lastly, increasing financial support through dollars donated and the number of donors was crucial to the school. As the educators at the school are required to have specialized training for students with language-based learning differences, we had to ensure they have the proper support for continuing education and classroom resources. This solidifies student success. To gain fundraising support, we knew we needed to share the stories of the families impacted by the school as well as highlight what makes the school unique.

The execution

outcomes

The reputation of the school is now accurately reflected in the community as well as surrounding areas such as New Orleans, Lafayette, and more. People know what The Brighton School is and what it does – teaching those who learn differently.

The first annual campaign we assisted earned $85,000 which normally only brought in $50,000 at most. This was over 6 months as we had come in at the halfway point. Future years saw a steady increase in funds raised.

Enrollment increased by 15 percent and continued to grow each year leading to the need for new buildings to accommodate.

The 50th Anniversary Gala raised almost $40,000 in profits and had 206 attendees. An alumni database of 250 individuals was created and established.

The Brighton School improved its reputation and relationship with the community in Baton Rouge. It is now well-known for its mission and dedication to students. Our work with them to create consistent branding and messaging has set the school up for success in years to come.

Diamond D Industries is the nation’s leading women-owned heavy construction specialist.  Based in South Louisiana, DDI offers clearing, access, site preparation, logistics, storm response, and  hydro excavation services throughout North America.

The Challenge

Diamond D Industries (DDI), one of the nation’s leading woman-owned heavy construction specialist, faced the significant challenge of standing out in the competitive industrial landscape. To differentiate themselves, DDI sought to strengthen their online presence, aiming to build more robust connections with clients and employees and to clearly define their competitive edge. Equally imperative was their need for our expertise in articulating comprehensive project descriptions, which would not only serve to inform and engage stakeholders but also underscore the breadth and depth of DDI's project successes on their website and in RFP submissions.

Our research into the digital footprint of similar companies uncovered opportunities to emphasize DDI's unique selling propositions. The challenge extended to developing their website and social media platforms (including photos, videos, and graphics) that not only showcased DDI's expertise in services such as clearing, access, logistics, storm response, and hydro excavation but also highlighted their commitment to leadership, safety practices, projects, and career opportunities. Internal communication, facilitated through a newsletter, was vital to spotlight DDI's community, covering seasonal events, professional milestones, and industry updates.

The strategy

To facilitate our strategy, we embedded our communications specialist within Diamond D Industries. This placement was pivotal, as it allowed for our communication specialist to act as a bridge between our team and DDI, ensuring that all communications, PR, and marketing efforts were not only consistent but also deeply integrated with DDI's brand ethos and operational nuances.

Our communication specialist was instrumental in driving our content strategy forward, particularly in the creation of engaging social media content that resonated with DDI's audience. They also played a key role in meticulously crafting detailed project descriptions for both the website and RFP submissions, which served to highlight DDI's extensive portfolio and underscore their expertise in the industry.

Complementing these efforts, a quarterly newsletter was developed to align with DDI's branding, which celebrated the company's community and its achievements, thereby reinforcing the internal and external brand image and affirming DDI's status as a leader in the heavy construction industry.

execution & outcomes

The execution of our strategy was spearheaded by our communication specialist who was embedded within Diamond D Industries. This strategic placement was vital, as it allowed for a seamless fusion of DDI's industry knowledge with our marketing expertise. The specialist acted as a conduit for constant communication between Three Six Zero and DDI's leadership, ensuring that every communication/marketing initiative was infused with DDI's brand voice and business objectives.

During the execution phase, our communication specialist played a critical role in producing content that truly reflected the core of DDI. Central to this effort was the development of detailed project descriptions, which were carefully crafted to highlight the wide array of services provided by DDI and the successful outcomes of their projects. These descriptions were not just additions to the website; they were foundational elements that offered a persuasive and comprehensive portrayal of DDI's expertise and accomplishments. In tandem with this, our specialist curated genuine social media content that brought to light the everyday activities and community engagement of the company, further illustrating the dynamic and involved nature of DDI's operations.

The internal newsletter, a key component of our communication strategy, was meticulously managed by our specialist to celebrate the company's culture, share industry news, and highlight employee milestones.

Guided by the dedicated efforts of our embedded communications specialist, Three Six Zero crafted a narrative that was deeply rooted in industry insights, ensuring that every piece of content was relevant, engaging, and in step with cutting-edge trends and technologies. Our specialist's intimate understanding of DDI's operations and culture was pivotal in creating a unified and powerful communication and marketing campaign. This campaign not only solidified DDI's stature as a frontrunner in the heavy construction industry but also magnified their brand message across multiple platforms. The result was a fortified market presence and a bolstered sense of community within the company, reflecting the true spirit of Diamond D Industries.
