Changing Perceptions

City College Plymouth is over 128 years old and is a recognised brand within the city of Plymouth. Its links with local industry, city-wide organisations and employers are notable and its work and achievements remain admired. The College is woven into the fabric of the City; it is in some ways part of the DNA of Plymouth. It sits at the heart of the community constantly working on initiatives that will benefit the whole City.

Competing with
the big boys

Since 2015 Just Enough Brave has worked in partnership with the marketing team to continually position the brand and ensure it competes on an even footing with its larger University neighbours. The challenge continues to be about appealing to a sophisticated audience as well as increasing awareness that the College can provide more than simply vocational course programmes. 

"Brave continue to be a trusted partner. Their positioning work and creative campaigns have been motivating our target audiences for a number of years. Their work reflects a more mature style to the College's communications."
