During the fall semester before Dr. Ray Guarendi was scheduled to speak at St. Gregory’s, I was tasked with designing a marketing system to bring in a large audience.

In the planning phase, my team identified several target audiences, including:

  • Catholic faculty, staff, and students
  • Psychology graduate and undergraduate students
  • Social science faculty
  • Parenting faculty, staff, and students
  • Families in the local community
  • Parishioners of local parishes
  • Social media followers of the university and campus ministry

Based on these audiences, I designed four distinct marketing themes:

  • Sunset (targeted to parents and families)
  • Holy family (targeted to Catholics)
  • Silhouette (targeted to Psychology and Social Science scholars)
  • White (basic info with no specific target)

The core information, typography, and product types remained the same across themes. For most themes, I designed the following products:

  • 8.5×11 flyer
  • 8.5×11 and 11×17 posters
  • TV screen ads
  • Instagram & Facebook image posts

These materials were posted online, on campus, and in the local community.
