Higher Education
Leverage your institution’s brand to advance your goals.
Universities and colleges are rich with stories—new discoveries, innovative programs, community impact. But individual schools, centers and initiatives often need help turning those stories into sharp messaging and visuals that still fit the institution’s wider brand. That’s where Red Window comes in.
A strategic partner within the university ecosystem
We collaborate with deans, directors and campus marketers to amplify a unit’s distinct value while honoring institutional guidelines. Think of us as a fractional marketing team that slots neatly into your existing structure—working alongside in-house communicators, leveraging the university’s brand assets and adding the extra strategy, creative power and project management you need to move big goals forward.

Highlight what sets your program apart — and where it’s headed next
At the University of Mississippi, the School of Engineering offers students a chance to distinguish themselves through close faculty mentorship, competitive opportunities and hands-on experiences that prepare them to lead. To reflect that unique environment and support future growth, the school partnered with Red Window to strengthen its digital presence.

We worked closely with the engineering team to develop messaging and structure that speaks to prospective students, faculty and industry partners alike. Alongside a new website that fits seamlessly into the university’s broader brand, we produced custom photography and a targeted video to bring the program to life—showcasing faculty-student interaction and the real-world environments that define engineering at Ole Miss.
Ole Miss Engineering used video storytelling to give its industry partners an inside look at its high-caliber students, faculty and programs.
Make complex processes work better for your people
The University of Mississippi’s Office for Research and Economic Development (ORED) needed to move its extensive web content onto the university’s new platform — and use the transition to serve researchers better. ORED partnered with Red Window to recast its online presence around a clear function of service to the campus research community, including seasoned investigators and faculty new to grant funding.
-
Guided by the vice chancellor’s vision, we worked closely with the ORED team to overhaul its messaging, reorganize pages into a user-focused site map, and rewrite dense policy language into accessible, action-oriented copy.
Built entirely within the university’s web platform, the new site walks researchers through each step of pre- and post-award processes while showcasing how university research drives impact in the real world. We curated photography from the university archive to humanize every page, and collaborated with ORED’s incoming content manager for a smooth hand-off.
The result is a sustainable, service-driven hub that streamlines support and reinforces the university’s research leadership.
