We are Custom-Built

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.

If you are looking to start a research project – and in particular, new academic program research – I strongly recommend and endorse the Stamats team. The final report was filled with comprehensive information to meet the needs of the biggest data junkie, yet was also presented in a way that could be easily converted into an executive summary more appropriate for sharing with your Board of Trustees.

Stamats has empowered us to solve our identity crisis. Since the launch of our new brand, we’ve enjoyed an 11% increase in effective communication institution-wide as well as a 6% increase in enrollment. Stamats doesn’t just fulfill a work contract, they teach you how and why to implement ideas and how to stand on your own two feet.

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.

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 was very responsive to our needs and feedback throughout the engagement.

Stamats was invaluable to Clinton Community College as it developed a new logo and tagline. From start to finish, the Stamats team was attentive, responsive and professional. We were very pleased with the results. I recommend Stamats to anyone who needs this type of service.

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.

In their work with Ramapo, I found Stamats to be unlike other consultants in that they truly understand the world of marketing and branding, but more importantly for a college campus, understands how to frame and deliver the results to a variety of campus constituents.

Stamats has helped us position ourselves in the marketplace, and they’ve really helped us really project our strengths. They’ve enabled us to identify an appropriate brand and we’re going to make great strides with their help over the next few years.

Stamats is, arguably, the nation’s leading expert in educational research, using national data and local research to help institutions shape marketing decision-making. Highly collaborative, Stamats doesn’t try to shape a cookie-cutter approach to your institution. They work with you to create something meaningful and valuable to you and your institution.

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.

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

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.

Stamats certainly lives up to its tag line, “Promises Kept.” We now have an aesthetically superior, dynamic and easy to navigate website that will serve our current and prospective students well over the coming years.

If you are looking for a company to be strictly a vendor and to provide you data and reports, Stamats is not your firm. However, if you are looking for a company that is a true partner in your success – you need not look further. In more than a decade of working with Stamats, it has been my experience that they approach the relationship with institutions as a true partnership.

We needed very specifically to figure out what more we could do to increase our reputation in the state and the region. They understood our unique needs, were incredibly responsive, pushed us when we needed to be pushed, helped us avoid some political minefields, and really gave us what we needed. We were so impressed.

Stamats has been a pleasure to work with and is a true partner in the rebranding of our College and coming up with a new name and logo. It’s clear in all that they do that they wanted us to be successful in this. All their recommendations and advice were research based for our situation, which helped us make informed decisions.

Public reaction has been overwhelmingly positive. We were delighted with Stamats’ process and we look forward to opening a new center that will serve our community and the next generation of Hawkeye Community College students.

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.

The team at Stamats are amazing to work with! Their level of expertise in the industry coupled with their excellent customer service and friendly demeanor have made our project a success and my interactions with them a joy. I would recommended them to any college looking for cutting-edge ideas and strong team relationships.

Stamats collaborated with us on every aspect of the studies we carried out, from designing the questionnaire, to figuring out who would be questioned, and what questions needed to be asked. It has been a great experience.

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.

It’s really been a miracle given our resources, our timing, and the level of awareness about Cornell Tech. Working with the Stamats team, we were able to deliver an exceptional class at a very reasonable cost per student.

Our work with Stamats has resulted in strategic and creative marketing communications solutions. The creative team developed an insightful brand strategy approach that complimented our existing brand tools and has allowed us to solidify the ways in which the Drake brand is effectively represented across all constituencies.

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.

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.

Where other agencies saw roadblocks and said ‘no,’ Stamats said ‘yes!’ They worked hard to win our business and worked just as hard throughout the process. Stamats wowed our entire team with their efforts and energy.

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!

The brand identity has been spreading across campus with new recruitment materials, advertising, light pole banners on campus, and the new web site that was just launched a few weeks ago. Overall enrollment is up slightly and we’re still moving forward!

Before hiring Stamats, we did our homework: researching the competition, calling references, and consulting in-house with other senior-level administrators. That research paid off: Stamats provided an excellent research report—data-rich and empirically grounded, but also thoughtful and filled with helpful leads and opportunities--an exemplary level of service, and an analyst and project leader who proved to be the best possible partners we could imagine.

Stamats is producing results even quicker than we even hoped for. I am just thrilled!
