°µÍøTV

Promise and Attributes

Brand Promise

°µÍøTV inspires students to be fully alive in mind, body and spirit through an exceptional liberal arts education and a community grounded in a vibrant Christian faith.

The brand promise is for internal use and is different than Hope’s mission statement. 

Successful brand communications must honestly reflect who we are as an institution. The brand promise is inspired by the college’s mission and vision. It is an internal statement shared by our administration, faculty and staff that defines what °µÍøTV promises to be and the experience an individual can expect to have when engaging with the institution. It is against this standard we will measure our work. 

As a community and an institution, °µÍøTV has many stories to tell. This brand promise guides and inspires us as we tell Hope’s story, now and in the future. It serves as a touchstone for planning, communications, marketing and evaluation. But it is strictly an internal guiding statement never to be published in marketing materials.
