 Ravensbourne College of Design and Communication has awarded the first phase of a strategic branding and identity programme to Lloyd Northover, the brand strategy and experience design consultancy, to prepare for its relocation to a new £50 million campus at Greenwich Peninsula.
Lloyd Northover has been appointed to conduct a brand audit and perception study amongst Ravensbourne stakeholders including students, alumni, current and past governors, as well as business partners.
The results will be used to evaluate the brand positioning of Ravensbourne, measure the effectiveness of its messaging communication compared to other colleges, as well as identify perceived strengths and weaknesses.
The findings - to be delivered in July - will form the basis of a brand strategy, to be developed and implemented during later stages of the project.
Jim Bodoh, Director of Strategy at Lord Northover said, "The way Ravensbourne is approaching this branding programme is far more thorough than any other college of its size that we have ever worked with.
They are doing it very strategically and in a way that serves as a role model to others."

 Trend-watching, until recently, has largely been an exercise in watching connections form between direct associations.
Photoshop releases a new filter, and voila-an entire raft of logos take on that effect.
A particular illustration style is featured in a successful advertising campaign or movie, and in what seems like minutes, the flavor of that art starts to enhance corporate identities.
Periodically, something truly surprising and unexpected pops up.
This year, however, it seems as though there has been a change in the nature of trends themselves.
Instead of a hub-to-spoke relationship in which trends fan out from a central source, prevailing tendencies in logo design now seem to send out long underground runners that poke through the dirt in unrelated, unexpected places, anywhere in the world.
It's harder and harder to trace the rhizomatous spread of ideas anymore-which truly is a good thing.
