Middle Georgia State University

In 2016, as Middle Georgia State University engaged in a full rebrand to promote their new University status, M&R Marketing was tasked with overseeing the design of a new .edu website. The website needed to be consistent with MGA’s newly established brand and precisely timed.

The university also approached us in 2021 to help promote programs like Business Administration (Bachelor’s), Information Technology (Doctorate), Management and Sports Management (Master’s), and Nursing (Master’s). Their leading goal was to increase the number of applications for each program.

We started from the ground up in 2016 by first meeting with focus groups composed of future and current students. We utilized their feedback to establish a user experience that was focused on the specific needs of both user groups. We then worked closely with their in-house web development team to create designs and an HTML and CSS framework that their development team could place on top of their school’s CMS.

For their digital efforts in 2021, we established specific Google Ads campaigns for all 4 programs. Each campaign ran for a 2-month period and strategically focused on increasing applications to the Business Administration, IT, Management and Sports Management, and Nursing programs.

Our solutions included:
