Methodology
We picked an exemplary University, one with vast influence, a strong number of offered majors, and a wide reach through several campuses across the Kingdom – King Abdulaziz University – as our ground operations headquarters – and then we didn’t stop. This large-scale project required an intricate and thought out plan that we devised on the basis of phases, each with their own set of objectives and operations. We went all out and covered each and every aspect of the project, which included both internal and external strategic communication in order to take a quality-driven approach. We employed social media platforms along with revamping an online portal with excellent UI and UX dynamics – reaching out to our audience in the most effective manner. Through managing and providing internal training sessions within the faculty and staff, we unified the flow of information, making the entire process a lot easier and more informed.
