As a long-time partner of The University of Colorado Boulder, Carnegie has delivered comprehensive digital and lead generation services to CU Boulder for nearly a decade. With their return to the Big 12, CU Boulder wanted to scale their reputation, extend their “Be Boulder” brand concept, and differentiate themselves from their Big 12 peers. We helped them produce video content that helped them make an impression.
