polkadotpeeps ltd, a full-service marketing design and advertising communications firm, has been selected to provide marketing communications development, design and execution by Case Western Reserve University’s Weatherhead School of Management as the school focuses on its initiative to incorporate innovative multidisciplinary approaches including Managing as Designing, Business Sustainability, and Social Entrepreneurship into the core curriculum.
Rated in the top 20 Business Schools in the United States for Management and Consulting, the Weatherhead School of Management, located in Cleveland, is a dynamic learning environment for students looking to go above and beyond a typical business education.
"I believe that our reputation for innovative communications design and approaching typical challenges with atypical solutions – both in print and online - were key factors in Weatherhead’s decision,” said Leslie Sutula, polkadotpeeps founder and Director of Business Development.
“Our strategy will be to reflect the school’s innovative spirit in the design and tone of their alumni communications, annual reports and program collateral.”
“A major tenet of our philosophy is that there is no leverage in following the crowd,” Said Phong Nguyen, the polkadotpeeps Art Director assigned to Weatherhead projects. “In just a few short meetings with the faculty and staff at Weatherhead, reading their papers and sitting in on lectures we formed distinct impressions that confirmed our ideas that this was not a school that would be well served by the typical student with a backpack in front of the clock tower tri-fold brochure. This is an innovative school that demands innovative collateral. Setting the creative pace for something this forward-thinking is an incredible honor and is going to be a lot of fun!”
In addition to Weatherhead, polkadotpeeps has added several other new clients in the last
several weeks. Key engagements include:
• Marketing communications design for OEConnection. OECOnnection is a joint venture
