THE RESULTS: This comprehensive campaign was fast-tracked, developed, and launched in under six months and achieved great success. We worked diligently with public information officers from all 23 colleges to build consensus and drive support from these very different schools. After the program launched, AccessU measured traffic from the VCCS website to assess initial program interest and benchmark awareness performance. In the first month alone, we achieved dramatic impact as evidenced by the numbers shown to the right.
