Carnegie is solely responsible for the design and management of the survey and its resulting data. The platform and collection of sample is facilitated by a third party survey provider. All survey functionality is based on the industry-leading platform leveraged by Carnegie and special requests or unique design may not be available.

Any change in scope, such as requests for additional completes will result in a cost increase. A summary report of responses to survey questions will be provided. Raw data is withheld from Clients for the privacy of respondents. Client affirms that Carnegie will not alter actual data results in any way that changes the implied meaning or representation of facts. A charge per complete has been included in the total cost.

ADMITTED STUDENT RESEARCH (in Slate CRM)

Client acknowledges that the Client Slate instance will be used to recruit survey respondents. Carnegie will plan and execute all communications, including timed follow-up. Invitation times will be related to time of student decline or deposit.

ANNUAL UNLIMITED DARTS DATA TAGGING

Client acknowledges that prospective student identifiers and addresses are required data points. Carnegie will provide a sample data file as needed and will direct Client to a secure Google Drive folder where data files can be uploaded.

If the data submission deadline passes and no files are sent to Carnegie for tagging, Carnegie assumes that no tagging is needed for that month. Client’s next available opportunity to tag data will be the following month. No months will be added to the twelve-month agreement if Client chooses to skip one or several months of data tagging opportunities. Rather, an additional annual unlimited data tagging agreement may be purchased.

Client acknowledges that Carnegie cannot fulfill this deliverable without the minimum data requirements listed above. Client is responsible for gathering all relevant stakeholders to attend data/discovery meetings as well as ongoing project meetings. Client acknowledges that expansion of project scope (including adding special populations for tagging and/or requesting additional ad-hoc analysis beyond the scope of the contracted services) will result in a cost increase. Client agrees to provide data and documentation to Carnegie via either (a) an approved secure data transfer site provided by Carnegie or (b) a secure data transfer method as preferred by Client. Client further agrees to provide tracking data during the enrollment cycle on a schedule agreed-upon between Carnegie and the Client, typically monthly.

All survey functionality is based on the industry-leading platform leveraged by Carnegie and special requests or unique design may not be available.

Participants may be removed from the survey due to familiarity bias.

Using Google Analytics, Carnegie will research and analyze the effects of branding campaigns on how prospects are reaching Client’s website and their behavior on it. A brand lift measurement strategy that benchmarks site performance before, during, and after your campaigns are in-market will be delivered and will provide data and insights. The “pre-campaigns” time segment will benchmark brand-influenced traffic sources and their audiences. The “during-campaigns” time segment will provide insights based on immediate impact from campaigns and an optional second “during-campaign” time segment can be added to the Analysis for additional insights on campaign impact as changes are made (i.e. target markets, budgets, etc.). The “post-campaigns” time segment will analyze the potential lasting impact of brand campaigns on the market

If brand campaigns are an always-on tactic, the post campaign analysis will be based on a date 12 months from the pre-campaigns time segment or based on a slow spend time segment for campaigns where the market is closest to benchmark.

BRAND PERSONALITY DEFINITION: EXECUTIVE WORKSHOP

One interactive executive workshop will be conducted on campus by Carnegie representatives. The workshop will last four to six hours (when beginning on time). While invitation templates and language will be provided by Carnegie, Client acknowledges that the recruitment, location selection, and location preparation for these workshops is the sole responsibility of the Client. Carnegie provides several hospitality recommendations, based on past experience. Client recognizes the following recommendations and assumes all risk associated with not taking the recommendations:

Providing refreshments and/or a meal during workshop increases the engagement levels of participants during the half-day workshop.
A centralized location, easily accessible for all or most Client stakeholders, will remove obstacles in attendance. Wayfinding signs are equally important at the designated location.

All executive workshop sessions will have audio recording to capture qualitative data. If there any objections from the Client, Client understands that the Account Manager needs to be informed at least two weeks prior to the on-site visit.

By electing an executive workshop, Client acknowledges that the resulting messaging platform deliverable will include archetype-driven story headlines and defined trait dimensions, but will not include a grand narrative, nor a storyline per archetype. In order to deliver a comprehensive messaging platform with storylines, multiple messaging workshops would need to be conducted on campus.

Client may choose to have Carnegie facilitate this workshop virtually, rather than in person, however that decision must be made no less than four weeks in advance of the workshop date.

BRAND PERSONALITY DEFINITION: LIVE WORKSHOPS

A series of interactive workshops will be conducted on campus by Carnegie representatives. Each workshop will last two hours (when beginning on time). While invitation templates and language will be provided by Carnegie, the recruitment, location selection, and location preparation for these workshops is the sole responsibility of the Client. Carnegie provides several recruitment recommendations, based on past experience. Client recognizes the following recommendations and assumes all risk associated with not taking the recommendations:

Providing refreshments and/or a meal during workshops not only draws added interest in attendance, but also increases the engagement levels of participants during the two-hour workshops.
A centralized location, easily accessible for all or most Client stakeholders, will remove obstacles in attendance and will reduce the number of no-shows. Wayfinding signs are equally important at the designated location.
Requesting registrations for the workshops provides a higher level of commitment for stakeholders and allows Carnegie representatives to align materials ordering with actual attendance counts, potentially reducing the amount of leftover materials.

Client may choose to have Carnegie facilitate these workshops virtually, rather than in person, however that decision must be made no less than six weeks in advance of the workshop dates.

BRAND PERSONALITY DEFINITION: ONLINE SURVEY

An online survey will be available for stakeholders who are not invited to or able to attend the brand personality workshops. Upon being given the URL, Client assumes all responsibility for inviting stakeholders to take part in this survey and ensuring there is no overlap between participation in the live workshops and the online survey. Client acknowledges that the online survey reproduces Carnegie’s personality workshop frameworks, but without allowing for the ability to collaborate with other online survey participants (unlike the collaboration methods used during the in-person workshops).

Client acknowledges Carnegie recommends sending one or two follow-up emails for best results, as well as indicating the survey close date in all communications. The online survey will be open for up to seven days or until it has collected the scoped number of completes, whichever comes first. The survey will be administered online. Carnegie is solely responsible for the design and management of the survey and its resulting data. The platform and collection of sample is facilitated by a third party survey provider. Client acknowledges that user testing of the platform has been conducted and that improvements to functionality are facilitated by the platform host.

BRAND POSITIONING + STORY DEVELOPMENT

Client acknowledges that Carnegie is being hired to deliver a proprietary method for delivering brand personality and consensus-building. Client acknowledges that no other firm in the world can deliver this method, because it was invented by Dartlet LLC and trademarked. Due to the proprietary nature of this work, Client recognizes that the Strategic Deliverable provided by Carnegie will look and feel unlike any other brand assessment and that the specific deliverables reported in the culminating Strategic Deliverable will include: workshop data (traits, faults, archetype, cause statement, genome), competitive audit, market perception research, personality solution, and messaging platform. Client acknowledges that the Strategic Deliverable and the previously stated contents will not be altered in any significant way.

Up to two rounds of revision included in messaging platform. Revisions must be requested within 6 weeks of the initial virtual reveal of the strategic deliverable. Client affirms that Carnegie will not alter actual data results in any way that changes the implied meaning or representation of facts.

A print-ready pdf of the strategic deliverable will be provided. Should the Client desire printed copies, Carnegie will provide a print cost and time estimate.

CAMPAIGN CONCEPTS

Carnegie will develop and present the scoped number of unique campaign concepts for Client review. A series of single-canvas product examples will be produced for each concept. Two rounds of revision are included. Once a singular concept has been chosen, Carnegie will deliver native files to Client for development and implementation.

Client understands that it is purchasing Carnegie’s creative expertise and best recommendations. If for any reason the client is not entirely satisfied, Carnegie will make the best use of the revision round to edit elements of the chosen concept to more closely align with the client’s desires and expectations. This revision round includes visual and language updates within the construct of the presented campaign concepts. Revision round does not include creation of additional campaign concepts. Mock-ups and concepts presented for demonstration purposes do not imply rights of use of imagery. Client will provide access to Client-owned imagery whenever possible. Packaging of files may take up to three days after client approval of final concept.

When Dart Iterations are in scope: Once a singular concept has been chosen, Carnegie will present a series of single-canvas product iterations (scoped number per Dart) for the chosen concept and will then will deliver native files to Client for development and implementation.

CREATIVE BLITZ

Client will choose from a series of established blitz modules to fill the scoped number of programming hours. One custom module can be created by Carnegie to meet a unique need.

Client is responsible for recommending relevant stakeholders to attend the blitz. These stakeholders must be knowledgeable about and have the authority to impact creative strategy. Client acknowledges that a creative blitz requires a commitment from attendees to attend the entirety of the event and that the creative decisions made will be acted upon by Carnegie immediately following the blitz, as it relates to contracted work. If, after the blitz, Client requests changes to the creative strategy confirmed during the blitz, the timeline and/or budget may be impacted.

Client acknowledges that Client is being invited as guests to a blitz environment and that all liability for personal injury adheres to the travel policies carried by the Client. Any material damages to property beyond normal wear and tear will be billed back to the client.

Client understands that Client team flight, parking, and ground transportation reservations and associated costs are not included in the price, unless noted otherwise. Clients will be responsible for booking flight and ground transportation to the training destination.

Client understands the Blitz is scoped for a max number of client participants, as defined in the contract. The client is responsible for any Carnegie-incurred costs that result from attendees surpassing that max number, including but not limited to meal, lodging, and excursion costs.

CREATIVE EXECUTION

Client acknowledges that photograph and color reproduction are subject to a variety of factors in both print and digital display. Carnegie maintains best practices, client color specifications, and PANTONE or applicable color system guidelines, but cannot guarantee consistent display across various media.

The Client’s project will utilize already existing client assets and stories. Client will provide any student/staff/faculty/alumni profiles, facts, statistics, and evidence points they wish to have considered for inclusion in the piece, and deliver any former marketing pieces they wish Carnegie to reference. If Client requests Carnegie to interview a subject/stakeholder and gather their story for use in a piece, a $300 per interview charge will be invoiced. Client will identify the interviewee and provide relevant contact information. Interviews will be documented and/or recorded. Client recognizes that quotes may be edited for grammar, length, and personality archetype, however all subjects quoted will be provided the opportunity to review and approve quotes prior to publishing.

Once content is approved by the Client, the Carnegie is not responsible for public author objection or audience reaction. Carnegie cannot guarantee factual accuracy of proposed copy; Client acknowledges its responsibility to fact-check and provide notes prior to final approval.

Client will provide access to client-owned photography, unless stock photography is desired. The client-managed library will be distilled to a reasonable size of approved images before sharing with Carnegie. If stock photos are used for final creative—either by necessity or request from the client, a $300 per image charge will be invoiced.

Clients will provide timely feedback on revision rounds, generally within 3-10 business days. If no edits are received within four weeks of Carnegie’s request for feedback, files will be packaged, delivered, and considered final, concluding the work on the project. For each Client-requested revision round beyond the amount allotted in the contract, the client will be offered that additional revision round at a charge of $50 per page/canvas being revised and will be invoiced in the month in which the work is completed. A revision round includes one round of copy and/or design revision in response to one submission of consolidated Client feedback.

Carnegie’s creative work product and strategy is based on best recommendations. After delivery of final files, Client modification may occur, but client assumes risk that the product is no longer meeting design or personality targets. Client acknowledges that all design and copy require a final review and proofing by the Client prior to print or placement. Final file packaging may take anywhere from one to three business days.

Additionally, the medium-specific provisions below apply to all relevant deliverables:

PRINT COLLATERAL
Client will incur an add-on fee of $500 for the request of fold styles beyond the typical booklet fold (8+ page documents) and trifold (6 page documents). This add-on will include the choice of three variant fold options for selection.
A printer’s proof is always recommended by Carnegie. Client understands the risks associated with not requesting a printer’s proof, paper sample, or physical mock-up prior to full production and agrees to assume that risk if these precautions are not taken.
1. If Carnegie is contracted to facilitate print production, all files will be prepared for printing by Carnegie, except for hard proofs and press checks, unless otherwise specified, and will incur additional charges, such charges will be discussed with and pre-approved by the Client in writing.
EMAIL
Once the Client approves the topic for each email, a topic cannot be changed without incurring an additional charge of an additional email.For email template design deliverable, free web fonts will be used; cost of font licenses are not included. Each email template will be delivered as an editable Adobe XD file. Client will need to provide a paired down photo library for image selection, otherwise stock photography may be used (thereby incurring a cost of $300 per stock image used). Client sign off of each email template design is required before proceeding with any HTML or prototyping in scope. When HTML is in scope, Carnegie will begin build out of each email template once final design is approved.

DEMOGRAPHIC CLUSTERING + PSYCHOGRAPHIC DARTS

Client acknowledges that prospective and current student data is needed for this deliverable and that no work on this deliverable can begin until that data is collected and analyzed. Specifically, student identifiers and addresses are critical data points that will be required. Client recognizes that these data points are non-negotiable and that the Dart work cannot be conducted without the proper data access.

Carnegie will provide a list of prospective and/or current students data variables needed for all student Dart work and will direct Client to a secure Google Drive folder where data files can be uploaded. Upon request, an SFTP site can be provided instead. Client acknowledges that Carnegie representatives cannot send or receive data files via email or any other method of transference other than secured Google Drive transfer or via the SFTP site.

Client recognizes that Carnegie may direct the Client to invite distinct groups of specific students to Dart workshops. Client acknowledges that the recruitment, location selection, and location preparation for these workshops is the sole responsibility of the Client. If Dart workshops are scheduled and attendance numbers are not high enough for statistical significance, Client understands that the workshops will need to be delayed until appropriate attendance numbers can be reached. Client also acknowledges that if a workshop delay occurs due to recruitment, weather, or an Act of God, all additional rescheduling expenses incurred will be the responsibility of the Client regardless of any previous financial limitations set on approved reimbursable Carnegie expenses.

A series of interactive workshops for current students will be conducted on campus by Carnegie representatives. Each workshop will last 60 minutes (when beginning on time). In addition to invitation templates and language that will be provided by Carnegie, Carnegie provides several recruitment recommendations, based on past experience. Client recognizes the following recommendations and assumes all risk associated with not taking the recommendations:

Providing refreshments and/or a meal during workshops not only draws added interest in attendance, but also increases the engagement levels of participants during the workshops.
A centralized location, easily accessible for all or most Client stakeholders, has shown to remove obstacles in attendance and reduce the number of no-shows. Wayfinding signs are equally important at the designated location.
Requesting registrations for the workshops provides a higher level of commitment for stakeholders and allows Carnegie representatives to align materials ordering with actual attendance counts, potentially reducing the amount of leftover materials.

The resulting Student Dart deliverable will show both demographic and psychographic results from the student and workshop data. A single initial student Dart deliverable presentation, one-hour training session, and four hours of Dart implementation consultation is included in this scope of work.

Client acknowledges that Dart results are not guaranteed as being a complete one-to-one match to future student groups. Rather, results are presented as a likelihood of Darts matching a potential student to Client’s demographic and psychographic information. Results should be considered unique to Client and not universally applicable.

Client may choose to have Carnegie facilitate these workshops virtually, rather than in person, however that decision must be made no less than six weeks in advance of the workshop dates.

DIGITAL CAMPAIGN THEME

Carnegie will develop and present the scoped number of unique campaign themes for Client review. A series of digital ad examples will be produced for each theme. Two rounds of revision are included. Once a singular theme has been chosen, Carnegie will deliver native files to Client for development and implementation.

Client understands that it is purchasing Carnegie’s creative expertise and best recommendations. If for any reason the client is not entirely satisfied, Carnegie will make the best use of the revision round to edit elements of the chosen theme to more closely align with the client’s desires and expectations. This revision round includes visual and language updates within the construct of the presented campaign themes. Revision round does not include creation of additional campaign themes. Mock-ups and concepts presented for demonstration purposes do not imply rights of use of imagery. Client will provide access to Client-owned imagery whenever possible. Packaging of files may take up to three days after client approval of final theme.

DIGITAL MARKETING MEDIA PLAN AND EXECUTION

All paid digital marketing services agreed to include up to two rounds of media plan revisions. Additional rounds of revisions are subject to consulting fee. Delays for execution of campaigns beyond 60 days from agreement date due to Client’s lack of response, delay of start, or other specific reasons may be subject to consulting fees for time and support. Consulting fees for digital media plans and delay management are $250 per hour. These fees will be billed upon completion of consulting and will reduce the total budget for anticipated campaigns.

DIGITAL PERCEPTION RESEARCH

Geographies will be confirmed by the Client prior to survey launch. Client acknowledges that Carnegie strongly recommends selecting geographies in which it is reasonable to assume the Client is well known. In the occasion that the desired geography does not have the required sample needed for testing, one or more additional surrounding geographies may be chosen in combination to increase the sample. The Client will be informed if combined geographies are needed.

Participants may be removed from the survey due to familiarity bias. Other than age, location, and enrollment status, no other demographic, social, economic, racial, educational, or occupational limits will be placed on the audience. Any change in scope, such as requests for additional completes or additional geographies will result in a cost increase. A summary report of responses to survey questions will be provided. Raw data is withheld from Clients for the privacy of respondents. Carnegie will not alter the actual data results in any way that changes the implied meaning or representation of facts. A charge per complete has been included in the total cost.

Client acknowledges that all information and insight collected in these interviews are confidential and will not be shared with any other representative of the Client.

ENROLLMENT OPERATIONS + COMMUNICATIONS ANALYSIS

Client is responsible for gathering all relevant stakeholders to attend the on-site or virtual meetings.

A final report containing macro conclusions, insights, and recommendations based on the experience and expertise of Carnegie will be provided. Carnegie cannot guarantee any outcome from implementation of these recommendations. Up to two rounds of revision are included in final report and one remote presentation.

EXTERNAL PERCEPTION RESEARCH

Participants may be removed from the survey due to familiarity bias. Other than age and location, no other demographic, social, economic, racial, educational, or occupational limits will be placed on the audience.

Client acknowledges that Carnegie cannot fulfill this deliverable without the minimum data requirements listed above. Client is responsible for gathering all relevant stakeholders to attend data/discovery meetings as well as ongoing project meetings. Client acknowledges that expansion of project scope (including adding special populations for modeling and awarding and/or requesting additional ad-hoc analysis beyond the scope of the contracted services) will result in a cost increase. Client acknowledges that exchange of data and documentation will be necessary as part of both the discovery and ongoing tracking period; Client agrees to provide data and documentation to Carnegie via either (a) an approved secure data transfer site provided by Carnegie or (b) a secure data transfer method as preferred by Client. Client further agrees to provide tracking data during the enrollment cycle on a schedule agreed-upon between Carnegie and the Client, typically weekly or bi-weekly.

Additionally, development of full communication campaigns, integrations, portals, and reports can be added at a per service cost. These are not currently included in scope.

SLATE CRM ACCESS

Carnegie will serve as an affiliate in the Admissions Department for the Client and will coordinate duties through the designated contact person identified in writing and provided by Client to Carnegie. Client shall provide Carnegie with (a) a Client email address account; (b) remote access to Client’s customer relationship management (“CRM”) program; and (c) all CRM access and permissions required for Carnegie to provide the Services. Carnegie shall, at the reasonable request of Client, (a) comply with the Client’s regulations and policies provided to Carnegie by Client in writing and applicable federal and state law; and (b) comply with Client’s policies and procedures governing conduct related to communication, individual behavior, electronic or network use, and information security. Carnegie agrees to assume and accept all risks arising out of, associated with, or related to Carnegie performing the Services in accordance with this Agreement and shall be solely responsible for any injury, loss, or damage which Carnegie may sustain while performing its duties under this Agreement, including, without limitation, travel to and from the Client.

SLATE REPORTS, PORTALS, INTEGRATIONS

Edits shall be limited to two rounds of revisions by Client, which shall occur between initial presentation and final approval. Further revisions beyond two rounds will incur additional charges, at a rate of $150/hour, and will be invoiced at the end of the month in which the work is completed.

SLATE SYSTEM PERFORMANCE

To fulfill the terms of the partnership and all Slate deliverables, the Client’s Slate instance should be operational and run complex processes efficiently. If system slowness due to inconsistent system maintenance hinders or halts the completion of project deliverables, Carnegie will not inherently be responsible for troubleshooting system inefficiencies or employing extraneous workaround solutions. This may result in certain contracted items being rendered undeliverable.

STRATEGIC ENROLLMENT DISCOVERY

Client is responsible for gathering all relevant stakeholders to attend the discovery meetings. These stakeholders must be knowledgeable about and have the authority to impact enrollment management. Client acknowledges that if the previously mentioned stakeholders are not present at discovery meetings, the resulting recommendations may suffer in quality or Client will need to pay additional fees and travel expenses for additional audit meetings to ensure Carnegie has the opportunity to gather the necessary information.

The Strategic Enrollment Discovery will take place on campus or virtually. Collectively, up to five Carnegie team members will facilitate the discovery meetings.

STRATEGIC ENROLLMENT PLAN + IMPLEMENTATION

In order to prioritize short-term planning, a first iteration of the Strategic Enrollment Plan will be delivered focusing solely on short-term initiatives. A final document containing both short-term and long-term insights, and recommendations on prioritization, objectives, strategies, and tactics based on the experience and expertise of Carnegie will be provided. Carnegie cannot guarantee any outcome from implementation of these recommendations. Up to three rounds of revision are included for the final deliverable.

Client is responsible for gathering all relevant stakeholders to attend the Strategic Enrollment Plan presentation and implementation meetings. The Strategic Enrollment Plan presentations and meetings will take place on campus, over the course of two consecutive days.

TECHNICAL SITE AUDIT AND CONSULTING

A series of five phone calls and screen shares is included. Each meeting focuses on a specific area, and Client is given an export of the issues along with recommendations. While Carnegie provides best practice guides to assist in the process of prioritizing and implementing recommended changes, Carnegie does not make the changes in the Content Management System (CMS).

TRADITIONAL MEDIA

The final composition of traditional media will be based on Client-provided customer data. If the total traditional media buy budget changes, the cost associated with this deliverable may be adjusted. The scope of this contract does not include the art direction, sourcing, or production of videos, photographs or audio assets.

While all or none of these may be included in the recommended media strategy, Client acknowledges the following cancellation policy for traditional media services: Radio/Television–¿Twenty-four days notice required for termination of contracts. Printed Outdoor–Billboards and Transit Shelters, require 95 days notice to cancel. Newspaper/Magazines–These can be cancelled up until two days prior to the date of booking deadlines. For dailies, these can be up to seven days in advance, for weeklies, nine days in advance, and for monthlies, at least 35 days in advance.

TRAVEL

In the unlikely event that weather, safety emergency, pandemic, or some other Act of God makes it impossible for our staff to arrive or causes your institution/organization to close on the day(s) our team intends to be on site, Carnegie will reschedule travel arrangements for a later date. Client acknowledges that if at any time, the safety of your community or our staff is in question, we will reschedule travel arrangements for a later date. Furthermore, if the weather, a safety emergency, or some other Act of God is going to discourage attendance in numbers that will render our activities non-impactful, we will immediately look into rescheduling for future date.

If the Client cancels the event or requests a date/location change after arrangements have been made, Client is responsible for reimbursing any costs incurred related to the event and to the date/location change. If Carnegie needs to cancel or reschedule the on-site event due to unforeseen circumstances, those costs associated with the change will be absorbed by Carnegie.

USER TESTING

Carnegie deploys user tests for unique audiences to see how easy or difficult it is to find key information on Client’s website. During the user tests, each audience type completes 10 specific actions that are predefined by Carnegie and Client. A comprehensive dashboard will be provided with a data analysis and insights following the completion of the tests. A one-hour Zoom meeting to review recommendations is included.

Client acknowledges that audiences under the age of 18 cannot be tested unless Client provides a list of users who have already opted in to taking the test. Ten total actions can be completed per audience. Desktop and mobile versions of the website can be tested, with a minimum of one audience and question set per format.

VIDEO AND SHADOW PHOTOGRAPHY

Carnegie will deliver content strategy for video production. Once approved, Carnegie will walk through subject-selection, location scouting, and scheduling principles with a primary client liaison. The client liaison will coordinate scheduling, location arrangements, talent recruitment, and needed permissions or access to on-campus resources in advance of the shoot. The shot list and schedule will be reviewed with Carnegie iteratively and a finalized schedule will need to be agreed upon four weeks prior to arriving on site.

On the ground, the scoped number of consecutive days will be allocated for video and shadow photography production. Each production day includes ten hours of time, including all time needed for set-up and take-down. A Client liaison does not have to accompany the production crew but must be available for contact related to scheduling, location arrangements, talent recruitment, and needed permissions or access to on-site resources.

The scoped number of edited video spots will be delivered. Shadow photography (50 images/day) will also be captured. Carnegie will deliver an edited library of photo assets six to seven weeks following the shoot. The footage obtained from the on-campus video shoot will be delivered as edited video spots only. The timeline for edit spots will be determined by the project team following contract signature. Unedited, unculled footage may be requested and received via hard drive for an additional fee.

Voiceover talent and music options will be provided (if concept requires). Music is included for up to $25,000 ad spend for anything posted to the internet (YouTube, Facebook, other social media channels, websites, etc.). Music and voiceover talent for radio and/or national spots to be negotiated separately.

If the Client requests a change to a script after Client approval of the script and the recording of the voiceover, the cost of re-recording the voiceover will be invoiced to the client at a cost of $300, providing the same voice talent is used. If a new voice talent is desired, the Client will be invoiced $400 for the new recording.

Three rounds of revision are included with each deliverable.

VIDEO EDITING

Upon project initiation, a creative brief will be developed by Carnegie for Client’s review. Client will need to approve creative brief before video editing can begin. Specific requested revisions must be noted in creative brief.

Client acknowledges that all feedback must be consolidated into one written document per round of revision. Any feedback not included in this manner will be considered an additional round of revision and could be subject to hourly fees.

Final files will be delivered as a digital file.

VIDEOGRAPHY

Carnegie will conduct an on-site video shoot, collecting assets specific to institution’s personality and directly correlated with approved script. A Client liaison will coordinate scheduling, location arrangements, talent recruitment, and needed permissions or access to on-site resources. The shot list and schedule will be reviewed with Carnegie iteratively and a finalized schedule will need to be agreed upon four weeks prior to arriving on site.

On the ground, the scoped number of consecutive days will be allocated for video production. Each production day includes eight hours of time, including all time needed for set-up and take-down. A Client liaison does not have to accompany the production crew but must be available for contact related to scheduling, location arrangements, talent recruitment, and needed permissions or access to on-site resources.

The footage obtained from the on-campus video shoot will be delivered as edited video spots only. Unedited, unculled footage may be requested and received via hard drive for an additional fee of $1,500.

Three rounds of revision are included with each deliverable.

VIRTUAL GOOGLE ANALYTICS GOALS WORKSHOP

The virtual workshop is two hours and focuses on Goal and Event Tracking in Google Analytics and the corresponding Tags in Google Tag Manager. After providing foundational knowledge on these topics and beginning to assess Client’s current Google Analytics View used for tracking, an additional two hours of post-workshop consulting occurs via Zoom. This consulting can serve to help Client better understand how to classify user engagement actions as either Goals or Events (or both), fill out a Goal Tracking Worksheet to help organize tracking objectives, and/or work on modifying, testing, and implementing changes to complete the tracking objectives.

VIRTUAL GOOGLE ANALYTICS WORKSHOP (INTRODUCTION TO PLATFORMS, REPORTING, AND ANALYSIS)

This workshop will explore Client’s Google Analytics account (or accounts, if there are more than one), including an overview presentation on Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and Google Looker Studio, as well as best practices for setting up access and properties for multiple areas of the institution.

The hands-on training will answer the questions:

How can I better understand the data about the traffic that is coming to my site?
How do I know what changes to the website were or were not effective?
Should I set up goals and events?
Do I need to make any changes to the way our Analytics account is set up?
How can I visualize this information in a meaningful and actionable way?

Virtual workshops do not include Carnegie team members’ presence on campus. However, if Client participants wish to congregate for the workshop sessions, it is Client’s responsibility to reserve a room/rooms on campus that has a projector and Wi-Fi access. The room(s) should be reserved to accommodate participants for two separate days and up to 2.5 hours per day. After training sessions, assignments will be provided that will allow attendees to put to use knowledge gained from each day. The assignment deliverables and Carnegie presentations are provided for all participants. A Looker Studio dashboard will also be created for the institution, and a 1-hour post-workshop call to review the dashboard, answer final participant questions, and de-brief is also included.

If Client has not had Carnegie complete a Google Analytics Assessment prior to the workshop, it is strongly recommended. A completed Assessment will ensure that the discussion is backed by soundly collected data and Analytics account structure.

VIRTUAL SEO WRITING WORKSHOP

The workshop is conducted via Zoom and broken up into two separate 2.5-hour long sessions spaced two weeks apart. In between the two remote sessions, attendees will be given an assignment to optimize a piece of content, giving them the opportunity to put what they learned in session one into practice and come to the second session with their questions. Participants will be encouraged to collaborate virtually during each session and break out rooms will be utilized within Zoom to facilitate group work. Attendees will also utilize the chat feature in Zoom to ask questions during the session that will be answered by the instructors in real time. Presentation decks and recordings of the sessions will be provided afterwards, along with links to the resources referenced in the workshop.

VISUAL BRAND IDENTITY ANALYSIS

Client is responsible for gathering all relevant stakeholders to attend each audit interview. These stakeholders must be knowledgeable about and have the authority to impact Client’s brand or the implementation of the brand. Client acknowledges that if the previously mentioned stakeholders are not present at audit interviews, the resulting recommendations may suffer in quality or Client will need to pay additional fees for additional audit meetings to ensure Carnegie has the opportunity to gather the necessary information.

The Brand Identity Analysis will take place virtually or on campus, over the course of one or more consecutive days. Carnegie will facilitate the scoped number of interviews, each with participants numbering no more than eight people. A final report containing macro conclusions, insights, and recommendations based on the experience and expertise of Carnegie will be provided.

Client acknowledges that a high volume of collateral is needed for this analysis to be worthwhile and that it is Carnegie’s recommendation that no less than 60 pieces of collateral are reviewed. These pieces will need to be identified and provided to Carnegie prior to the on-site meeting. In addition to print or digital collateral, any relevant brand standards must also be provided to Carnegie for review. Up to two rounds of revision are included in report and one remote presentation of analysis results.

WEB COPYWRITING AND OPTIMIZATION

Carnegie will work with Client to identify what pages are priority for web copywriting and optimization. The content strategy may involve rewriting existing pages or writing new pages from scratch. A set number of pages of content will be delivered monthly, along with metadata, a keyword list, header tags, and internal link recommendations. Carnegie will track the ranking position in Google for keywords that have been optimized for and report on performance once pages have been implemented long enough for search engines to recognize the changes. Client will receive a comprehensive dashboard that will show organic clicks and impressions, position rankings nationally and locally, and organic traffic metrics. Carnegie does not make the changes in the Content Management System (CMS).

WEBSITE STRATEGY

Client will identify all stakeholders who will need to be part of review and decision making throughout the project. Key stakeholders and decisions makers will be available for discovery conversations. Client delays in review and providing feedback may impact the project schedule.

Client will provide Carnegie with access to its current analytics platforms including Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Google Search Console, and Google My Business.

Client will provide Carnegie with access to photography assets, brand standards, brand assets, editorial style guides, and examples of successfully designed materials that reflect these standards and guidelines.

WEBSITE REDESIGN WITH CARNEGIE IMPLEMENTATION

Client will provide Carnegie with access to its current CMS and associated codebase, including the front-end code.

The new site will be constructed from the ground up following best practices and Carnegie’s preferred implementation approach, with all new content structures and functionality as needed to implement the new design system.

The new site will be implemented as a single site, not a multi-site network.

Pending a final determination on the contents of the CMS Customization budget allowance, the following items are not included in the scope of the website implementation: page optimization for printing, a third-party site search solution, multi-lingual capabilities, and user authentication via university login IDs.

Design and code deliverables will be verified against the WCAG 2.1 standard for accessibility, to level AA of conformance. Client is responsible for ensuring that website content meets accessibility standards.

If the website requires an API to a 3rd party data source or application, the API must function as defined by the API’s owner. If there are deviations from this defined functionality, additional time may be required from Carnegie to troubleshoot or compensate. Any such additional time shall be affirmed through an approved contract amendment or change order form. Pending a final determination on the contents of the CMS Customization budget allowance, there are no API builds or 3rd party integrations included in this scope of work.

If the website requires additional support from — or coordination with — a 3rd party, the 3rd party must provide the support in an effective and timely manner. If there are delays, gaps, or inaccuracies, additional time may be required from Carnegie to compensate. Any such additional time shall be affirmed through an approved contract amendment or change order form.

The launch date and time will be mutually agreed upon at least six weeks in advance. It is understood that unforeseen circumstances may necessitate a shift in the launch date even after it is agreed upon. The launch will occur on a Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday, and will not occur on or immediately prior to any National Holiday. Launches will occur within regular business hours whenever possible.

Client acknowledges that Carnegie cannot fulfill this deliverable without the minimum data requirements listed above. Client is responsible for gathering all relevant stakeholders to attend data/discovery meetings as well as ongoing project meetings. Client acknowledges that expansion of project scope (including adding special populations for modeling and awarding and/or requesting additional ad-hoc analysis beyond the scope of the contracted services) will result in a cost increase. Client agrees to provide data and documentation to Carnegie via either (a) an approved secure data transfer site provided by Carnegie or (b) a secure data transfer method as preferred by Client. Client further agrees to provide tracking data during the enrollment cycle on a schedule agreed-upon between Carnegie and the Client, typically weekly or bi-weekly.
