The definitive higher ed. marketer’s guide to a branded house vs. a house of brands.

Is your higher ed. institution a branded house or a house of brands?

Every brand structures its visual identity differently, and for valid reasons. But there is a right and wrong approach depending on your specific institution’s structure and marketing goals.
