Client acknowledges that Carnegie representatives cannot send or receive data files via email or any other method of transference other than the SFTP site.

Client recognizes that Carnegie may direct the Client to invite distinct groups of alumni/donors/staff 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 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 Dart deliverable will show both demographic and psychographic results. A single initial Dart deliverable presentation and one-hour training session are included in this scope of work.

Client acknowledges that Dart results are not guaranteed as being a complete one-to-one match to future alumni/donor groups.

Client is responsible for gathering all relevant stakeholders to attend each discovery meeting. These stakeholders must be knowledgeable about the pieces of collateral presented for evaluation. 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 Collateral Analysis will take place either on campus or virtually, 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 collateral profiles, summary charts, and conclusions based on the established evaluation rubric and the expertise of Carnegie team will be provided. Carnegie cannot guarantee any outcome from action taken due to the summary conclusions. Up to two remote presentations of audit results are included.

COLLATERAL DEVELOPMENT (Signage)
Included in the agreed upon scope of work is design templates and assets for signage and wayfinding. While Carnegie will provide best practice recommendations and designs, it is not responsible for the application on campus, or the results of such application.

CREATIVE CONSULTATION HOURS
Consulting hours are activated for any activity conducted by a Carnegie strategist or specialist beyond what’s covered by the other items in scope. This includes live consultative calls and any review or prep leading into or coming out of such calls. If multiple specialists are needed on any occasion, the time spent by each specialist is counted against the total number of purchased consulting hours. Time spent by Account and Project Management personnel do not count against the purchased consulting hours.

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 a content strategies, generally within 3-10 business days. If timely feedback is not received, Carnegie will move forward using the Carnegie suggested content outline to create draft 1 of the product; any late client feedback will be taken into account during the completed draft’s designated revision rounds and count toward those revision round. 

Clients will provide timely feedback during designated revision rounds, generally within 3-10 business days. If no feedback. edits are received within three 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.

DISCOVERY & CONSULTATION (NAMING STRATEGY)
The scoped number of naming constructs will be prepared for Client review. One round of collective revision for the concepts is included. Additional revisions may require another Statement of Work. The long-form names presented are run through a trademark search via uspto.gov/trademarks/search and organically researched for any potential market overlap. Any accompanying and presented nicknames are for consideration only and are run through a trademark search. Client is responsible for consulting with their legal teams for any additional research or trademarking of names, nicknames, domain name purchasing, etc.

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.

IDENTITY DEVELOPMENT
Carnegie will develop and present the 7-10 brandmark concepts for Client review. Client may choose 3 preferred logo concepts to move forward with and may request one round of collective revision to those concepts. Additional revisions will require additional scope. One final brandmark concept will be chosen by Client after requested revisions are complete. One additional round of revision on the chosen brandmark is included. After receiving written approval from Client to proceed with final brandmark, Carnegie will produce a standard suite of logo variants (color variants, horizontal variant, vertical variant, and simplified icon variant). Two rounds of collective revision on the logo suite are included. Additional revisions may require additional scope. 

When Brand Standards are in scope, Client will confirm all variations needed in the final primary logo suite. Using the Client-approved sub-brand list (cities, organizations, affiliations, etc.), a sub-brand strategy will be proposed and incorporated into the resulting brand standards document. An initial single sample of each type of sub-brand will be presented for approval. Up to two rounds of revision may be applied to the sub-brand samples. Once the samples are approved by Client, Carnegie will deliver the native files of sub-brand samples for future Client reproduction. All creative and technical guidelines will be included in resulting brand standards document. 

Though Carnegie’s recommendations reflect a macro competitive landscape review of positioning, copy, design, marks, color use, and logos, the Company cannot guarantee its recommendations to be wholly unique, ownable, or to qualify for trademark. Client acknowledges that Carnegie does not stand in the place of legal counsel, does not work directly with the USPTO, and therefore, cannot guarantee trademark clearance. The Client understands that it is its own responsibility to involve relevant legal counsel in such considerations. Should legal counsel identify an issue with trademark clearance, Carnegie can engage in an additional contract to address the issue.

MERCHANDISE
Client acknowledges that a variety of restrictions, limitations, and guidelines exist for every merchandising product. Amongst other restrictions, logo sizing and color reproduction can be severely limited due to a third party licensing vendor’s specifications. If asked, Carnegie will provide client recommendations based on the best of available options, but cannot be held liable for results. Carnegie does not communicate directly, contract with, or manage licensors or third party merchandise providers.

ON-CAMPUS CREATIVE INTENSIVE
Client is responsible for recommending relevant stakeholders to attend the creative intensive. These stakeholders must be knowledgeable about and have the authority to impact creative strategy. Client acknowledges that a creative intensive 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 event, as it relates to contracted work. If, after the event, Client requests changes to the creative strategy confirmed during the creative intensive, the timeline and/or budget may be impacted.

LEAD IMPORT TO CRM AUTOMATION
Client acknowledges that in order to complete this work, Carnegie will need access to Client’s CRM instance, including the following permissions: Administrator (All Access) [Required], Security Administrator, SFTP Access. After being provided with CRM access, Carnegie will work with Client to identify necessary data points needed for collection and follow up.

Carnegie utilizes webhooks to create the automated connection. This requires Carnegie to: create a service account on behalf of Client to authenticate the webhook connection, create a new source format(s) and configure proper mapping for the import, create new interaction code(s) to ensure proper attribution is available, set up webhook connections from ad platforms to CRM, test and confirm implementation. After the initial set up is complete, Carnegie will give Client a final review prior to launching the automation to ensure everything is configured in the most optimal way for your team.

Post-launch, Carnegie will ensure mapping is set for any new campaigns and monitor imports on a monthly basis until the campaigns wrap up to ensure accuracy in data collection.

Lead import automation and monitoring is limited to Carnegie-executed and -managed digital media campaigns.

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. 

Web Development

Carnegie will work with you to optimize your Google Business Profile on the back-end for the most relevant and searched-for keywords and will assist in updating images and other components of the property. Furthermore, Carnegie will create a set number of Google Posts to advertise upcoming events right in the profile. Finally, Carnegie will set up tracking on all posts and on the website button so that traffic can be analyzed in Google Analytics.

TECHNICAL SITE AUDIT AND CONSULTING

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.

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.

Then, Carnegie will make recommendations for how Client can gain more visibility and outrank the competition.

SEO CONTENT AUDIT
Carnegie will perform a SEO-focused content audit of select pages of Client’s website. This will include full assessments of missed keyword opportunities, metadata shortcomings, header tag issues, user experience roadblocks, and content gaps. Carnegie will also make recommendations for structured data markup where applicable and will analyze current traffic and ranking data for each page utilizing Google Analytics, Google Search Console, and keyword research tools.

An initial discovery call will be conducted to choose the select group of pages on Client’s website that will be audited. A comprehensive document will be delivered with an in-depth analysis of each page, along with recommendations for title tags, meta descriptions, header tags, structured data, and additional content. All audited pages will also include targeted SEO keyphrases, data analysis via Google Analytics and Google Search Console, and strategic insights. This document will also be reviewed remotely via a one-hour screenshare wherein Carnegie will walk-through the recommendations stemming from the audit in detail.

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.
