Join Us THIS WEEK for the First Dragon Dialogue on St M's Branding Initiative
Wednesday, September 24, 8:15 - 9:15 a.m., Perkinson Arts Center
Topic: Leading with Love, Learning with Purpose: An Introduction to St M’s Enhanced Brand Positioning (led by James Warren of Share More Stories)
As part of our Strategic Plan, St. Michael’s recently completed an exciting brand strategy and messaging project with the research and consulting firm Share More Stories to explore how our School is perceived in the greater Richmond educational landscape and what makes us special and unique. Through the voices of parents, alumni, students, faculty, and admissions leaders, what we heard was both profound and energizing-- and deeply affirming of our mission. From this research, we’ve crafted refreshed brand messaging that celebrates what we do best: honoring childhood, truly knowing and loving each student, celebrating joyful learning, and cultivating a deep sense of belonging at St M.
Come hear the story behind our refreshed branding and how it captures the heart of St. Michael’s—rooted in tradition, yet always reaching forward.
