Cleveland Institute of Art Retains Brand Strategy Firm Viva La Brand

Cleveland-based brand & marketing strategy firm is selected to conduct brand research for CIA, the region’s premier art & design college.

CLEVELAND, OH – December 3, 2019 – Viva La Brand, the brand & marketing strategy and ad agency search firm was selected to conduct a brand audit study for CIA, the premier art & design college in Cleveland, OH.  

“We’re honored to be working with CIA – an academic and art and design powerhouse. I had no appreciation for the depth and breadth of career-oriented studies the school offered before being honored with their business. The premier college’s challenge is to succinctly tell its story. Offering artists and designers an expansive list of majors and tracks is tough to message,” explained Laura Sheridan, Viva La Brand president.

 “Having an external brand strategist scrutinize our marketing and communication materials has helped us see them through the lens of our “customers” – parents, students, alumni, and community members. We offer an amazing product and need to do a better job of sharing the magic with the art and design, and business communities,” said Malou Monago, Vice President of Institutional Advancement, CIA.
