Cutting through a crowded market to tell a memorable story.
With campuses in Manhattan and Westchester, NY, Pace University competes for media attention with a number of globally recognized brands in the region. FINN Partners collaborated with Pace to help build national and local awareness of its leadership, faculty, students, areas of academic excellence, and—perhaps most importantly—its track record of putting students on a path to lifelong career success. FINN focused on telling the success stories of Pace’s students and promoting faculty expertise about trending news linked to key academic programs.
