Walsh College:
Strategy & Public Relations
Telling the story of professional development at a business college
For several years, Your People LLC was one of three agencies supporting Walsh College in its Marketing and Public Relations efforts. Our focus was to develop and promote Walsh Institute, a professional development arm for the suburban Detroit business college with campuses in Troy and Novi. (Note: Walsh Institute no longer exists.)
Our work began with a comprehensive Audit that led to the creation of a comprehensive 18-month Marketing Strategy, with a goal of increasing interactions with companies and business seeking professional development for their teams.
During our tenure, we launched Media Relations campaigns, promoted and helped coordinate Events, facilitated a Focus Group, created Content, assisted with the redesign of the college Website, and more. We also consulted on best practices for Social Media, Messaging, and Strategy.
Our work resulted in far-reaching Media coverage of Walsh Institute and more exposure for Walsh College in general. Some of the outlets we reached included:
- FOX 2 Detroit
- WXYZ
- WDIV
- Corp! Magazine
- Crain’s Detroit Business
- the Oakland Press
- the Detroit Free Press
- the Detroit News
- dBusiness Magazine
- WDET FM
- WWJ AM
- WJR AM
- Michigan Radio
- and many more
