Started just with creative programs – brand communication school – integrate

Vega is a sustainable brand, not just a surface brand
Vega doesn’t believe in surface brands that just value to consumers.
To sell a brand you need awareness of the category
Vega is in a brand category not a marketing or advertising category.

Can we use brands with more meaningful ideas to add value?

Vega has products – the courses that they offer

There are 4 ideas:
Generating/stimulating brand culture internally
Revitalising brand consciousness internally and externally
Tapping and mobilising student alumni
Mobilising current student base to grow brand awareness

Current students – brand culture (students should be aware of what Vega is about. Both past and present)
Alumni – brand advocates (advising and guiding, send people, workshops)

A reason for students not coming back is that maybe Vega don’t have an offering that they want.

Vega wants to get alumni to orbit
What do Vega want from orbit and what does orbit want from Vega?
What will the aim of the brief do for Vega?
Fulfil/ speed up mission and vision. It will send out a new breed of thinkers

Most people here about Vega through word of mouth

Vega must promote that they are a healthy brand
Vega want/need to be stronger financially

If you have a strong inside, you’ll have a strong outside

Alumni bring brands back into Vega
Alumni come back after about 2 or 3 years
