The Challenge

Engaged Community. Unclear Direction.

NDSU Team Makers had an active and enthusiastic audience, but their communication across platforms lacked consistency and alignment. With multiple events, announcements, and membership goals happening throughout the year, messaging often felt fragmented, making it difficult for supporters to clearly understand priorities or take action. They needed a unified approach that could organize their outreach while still capturing the energy of the Bison community.
