Sametz Blackstone
Since 1979, New England-based Sametz Blackstone has worked with organizations of different sizes and stripes to better define their place in the landscape, attract new constituents, and more deeply engage their existing communities. We help our independent school and higher education clients reinforce desired attributes, connect with current and prospective students and their families, more deeply engage alumnae/i, build comprehension of their offerings, and bolster both earned and contributed income—all while adding value to their brand. We believe communications informed by research and strategy and fully integrated—across departments, media, and over time—serve you better, and deliver better results and value. We have strategists, writers, designers, web developers, and production specialists working together, giving us the capacity to evolve appropriate strategies and plans— and then connect those strategies to effective and engaging execution. We create the brand-building communications programs needed to forge new connections, encourage participation, and strengthen relationships—whether we’re engaged to craft an entire brand system, an integrated suite of admission materials, a capital or annual fund campaign, or a comprehensive website. We are delighted to be part of CAIS, and to connect with this diverse community of member schools. Learn more at sametz.com.
