Experts in Their Fields

The key to branding is knowing who you really are and how your audiences perceive you. At Cal Poly, we thought we knew ourselves and knew how to tell our story. What the entire Stamats team helped us discover carefully, thoughtfully—and with much kindness—was a richer, deeper, more appealing set of dimensions about who we are, and how our audiences view us.

"They are fast, flexible, and responsive. They are always prepared and go above and beyond."

"If the customer wants a fully integrated back-end and fully integrated brand reach report, then Stamats is the company for them."

Throughout my career, I have turned to Stamats, Inc. time and time again to assist with a market analysis. At my former institution, the work resulted in an immediate 26 percent rise in applications and admissions. By the time I left, our increases year-over-year were close to 49 percent. I knew we needed that at my new institution. The team worked with us and the results have been game-changing for us.

Stamats and BUILDINGS have managed a significant portion of our digital spend since 2017. We are very pleased with the performance to date, specifically the communication and reporting they consistently provide.

"'Whoever knows the customer best, wins.' We want to know the customer as best as we can, and SDM helps us do that."

Stamats has been an excellent partner in both creating a brand that truly captures the essence of our district and communicating it in a manner that captivates and makes our stakeholders proud. “They nailed it” is the phrase we heard over and over again as we shared the work of Stamats with our constituents.

Stamats presents NO OBSTACLES. They’re FAST, FLEXIBLE, RESPONSIVE, INNOVATIVE and DEPENDABLE.

The work of the Stamats team empowered our community to consider the entire spectrum of our institutional brand. Not one area of campus has remained on the sideline. Their work triggered in us the drive to uncover our brand potential. The creativity and persistence demonstrated by the team directly impacted what we are hearing from our external and internal constituents today.

It’s all good! One of the things we all track is the change, year over year, in those applicants who put Brescia as their first choice. In a recent report, Western had increased 8% in its first choice applicants; King’s, 4%; Huron, 11%; but Brescia had increased 38 percent! This is a strong message that our partnership with Stamats is producing results even quicker than we even hoped for. I am just thrilled!
