Same story, different campus.

Close your eyes and dream.

If you were starting
from scratch...
![Page 8: Making the Case for Creative Services](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022110305/553a59a0550346592f8b4ac9/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Use emotion.William & Mary is a place of ideas, exceptional education, and unlike any other university in America. In my view, we are struggling to consistently represent who we are and what we do to those who know us and to those who know of us. A creative services operation could be an engine of creativity, a place where talented people who love the College can use multiple forms of communication to tell the William & Mary story.
![Page 9: Making the Case for Creative Services](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022110305/553a59a0550346592f8b4ac9/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Be direct.Currently, a number of committees are working hard to coordinate communication opportunities. I think William & Mary could do better. A creative services team could come to work everyday thinking about ways to explain and promote what happens on our campus. A creative services team could produce an integrated splash where individual creative elements like photos and language and graphics all come together to make a lasting impression.

So you got what you wanted.

Next up, organizational identity crisis.
Who are you? Who? Who?
![Page 12: Making the Case for Creative Services](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022110305/553a59a0550346592f8b4ac9/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Who we are...

I’ve been there.
![Page 14: Making the Case for Creative Services](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022110305/553a59a0550346592f8b4ac9/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Year 1: The year of
lessons learned.

Some people just want services.
You’re offering creative services.
![Page 16: Making the Case for Creative Services](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022110305/553a59a0550346592f8b4ac9/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Quickly or quality? Both!
Some of our best work didn’t take a lot of time or planning.
![Page 17: Making the Case for Creative Services](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022110305/553a59a0550346592f8b4ac9/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Print is different. “In the print world, the word
publish really means something.”
![Page 18: Making the Case for Creative Services](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022110305/553a59a0550346592f8b4ac9/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Set people up to disappoint you and they will.Ping them but don’t start.
![Page 19: Making the Case for Creative Services](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022110305/553a59a0550346592f8b4ac9/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
As soon as possible.
Don’t work back from whenever.
![Page 20: Making the Case for Creative Services](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022110305/553a59a0550346592f8b4ac9/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Sometimes you have to say no.
People will thank you for it.
![Page 21: Making the Case for Creative Services](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022110305/553a59a0550346592f8b4ac9/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
But don’t be afraid to say yes.
It doesn’t always mean more work.

Warning.
Don’t let the 30-, 40-, or 50-somethings pick the concept.

But if there's a shared passion at William & Mary — and William & Mary is nothing if not a place of passions — it is a passion for books. Printed and digital. Ancient and modern. We consume books. They are our sustenance and solace.

My daughter Holly (high school junior) and my wife went on a campus visit Monday and brought back the new view book. It’s innovative and well done—very impressive compared to the materials we are seeing from other schools.

Received the box of conjunctions yesterday. Must say I was happy my son had planned on applying before they arrived and now I'm even more pleased. I noticed he had left a few highlighted on the table this morning with notes about why he felt William & Mary would be a good fit for him.
