Project Description
PSU began implementing new branding and messaging and needed a complete website refresh. The School of Business approached A.wordsmith to support the content development for its cornerstone website pages which included details about undergraduate and graduate programs, academic advising and the honors program. As part of the multi-year project, A.wordsmith was also tasked with creating undergraduate and graduate student profiles to feature on the website and a feature story about the keynote speakers for the 2019 School of Business Commencement Ceremony that was also published online.
A.wordsmith was also brought in to draft the majority of content for The School of Business’ 2020 Annual Report. The content development process included a multitude of voices that all needed to be in line with the university’s overall tone. Each piece was carefully created to fit The School of Business’ story and incorporate its new messaging.
