Waldorf College Alumni Ambassador Kit

Waldorf College Alumni Ambassador Kit

To strengthen alumni engagement, a kit of materials was created to aid alumni in recruiting prospective students for Waldorf College. Wallet cards and a mini-fact sheet were enclosed in a wallet folder. Kits were distributed with a brief user’s guide that helped alumni understand the purpose of each piece. For example, one card (a yellow visitor’s pass) assured each visitor benefits like a bookstore discount, a free meal in the campus cafeteria, and tickets to either an athletic or fine arts event. The kit included a record of contacts and information on how to share those contacts with admission staff. All pieces conceptualized, written, designed by Joy M. Newcom.

  • Video Productions
  • Production for a video presentation begins with a conversation about the objectives an organization hopes to accomplish and the piece’s intended audience. A shared understanding of the desired outcomes shapes the production’s thesis. Then a discussion about possible imagery and tone points to a visual theme that provides a sense of continuity from the opening frames to the closing scenes and sounds. To assure communication with the client, JoyMark ! Communications develops an action plan that serves as a production agreement throughout the scripting and production phases.
