Experts in Their Fields

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.

I want to thank you for all you have done for Elmhurst College. Our new brand idea, Reach Your Potential, is working! I think that we made considerable progress in the last two years, thanks to you.

Stamats consulting was integral to the success of the brand re-positioning project we recently completed for NAU’s Extended Campuses. They were an adept adviser regarding brand strategy, process and implementation at ever stage: research, positioning, creative and internal communications. They are knowledgeable, professional, insightful and a true pleasure to work with.

…the gold standard company (Stamats Communications, Inc.) in higher education marketing that I have successfully relied upon for over thirty years…

I have concluded that the most valuable partnerships are ones in which the firm insists on a clear definition of the problem the institution is trying to solve, a thoughtful (not off-the shelf) approach to solutions that are unique for the circumstances and institutional market position, the will to listen to input from the institution, the courage to make recommendations or challenge conventions from a well-grounded empirical base and in a timely manner.

Stamats has been a capable and collaborative partner throughout our website redesign process. Their research not only helped shape the final form of the site, it helped us clarify our content strategy and extend our institutional brand more effectively. The new site is a far better reflection of RMC -- easier to navigate, more relevant, and more engaging to all the audiences we need to connect with every day.

Stamats has done great work studying non-matriculated applicants for our university for a number of years.   Their research provides us strong insight into students’ perceptions of our university which in turn allows us to focus our yield efforts.  The fantastic team tailored the research to our brand needs and provided valuable conclusions that shaped our strategy.

Stamats provided an immeasurable amount of support from high-quality market research to building and maintaining our beautiful website. Their marketing efforts continue to bring a significant amount of attention to the Alternative Credit Project and provide an efficient online interface to help nontraditional students return to college.

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

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!
