Case studies
"For the fall following the [first] ad campaign, Drexel received over 8,900 applications and enrolled a freshman class of 1,750 new and 400 transfer students. Net revenue of the full-time undergraduates increased 21 percent and average enrolling freshman SAT scores increased by 25 points." – GDA Integrated Services
Drexel University

Over a period of three years, I wrote advertorials for Drexel University that ran in the Philadelphia Inquirer. These advertorials were designed to help improve the image of Drexel in the Philadelphia community, and they worked. I joined with a nationally known higher education marketing team to translate their marketing themes into cogent, powerful headlines and copy. After researching materials and interviewing members of the Drexel community, I wrote dozens of short, to-the-point articles of interest to the greater Philadelphia community. These were published between 1997 and 1999.
