Overview

Mizzou Brand Reposition

Brand Reposition Activation

Mizzou has gone through a multi-year process to clarify and define “who we are” as an institution, and define opportunities for growth in enrollment and reputation and awareness of the university. This project is the anchor to Mizzou’s brand, setting the footing for a uniform positioning strategy that aligns and informs comprehensive marketing tactics from the top down.

In the spring of 2025, Mizzou activated the brand reposition, bringing together our strong new personality archetypes, messaging strategy and supporting visuals.

Brand Personality Reveal

Carnegie’s consensus-building method is built around the input of the people who know Mizzou the best—you. Many alumni, community members, faculty, staff and students attended one of the 10 in-person workshops held on campus. Others of you participated in the online survey that reached many of our alumni, community members and campus stakeholders. This feedback, along with external perception research and competitive analyses have culminated to reveal Mizzou’s authentic brand personality.
