Getting to and THROUGH College With Higher Endeavor

A New Name and Identity for an education ecosystem: Higher Endeavor, for the Gates Foundation

 

The Brief

The Gates Foundation found little traction in managing “Transformation for Scale”, a platform to advance higher education outcomes for underrepresented groups.

DBC named Higher Endeavor, and built a brand with the end user in mind, truly embodying our goals of Democratizing the design process.

Conducting Focus Groups and a formal unveiling of the name and brand, we were truly able to democratize the brand creation process

Truly Participatory Design

From focus groups on the name on Zoom, to an in-person unveiling of three Higher Endeavor Concepts at the annual convening, DBC kept the end users involved and aligned throughout the project.

The final Higher Endeavor concept is actually made of pieces from all three preliminary concepts see here.
