CASE STUDY
New Canaan Country School
New Canaan Country School (NCCS), a progressive Pre-K–9 school in Connecticut, described their learning environment as a "play-based learning journey." But parents heard, "weak academics" and "unstructured." Their new brand strategy reflects the meaning behind what they had been saying all along. But this time, families understand the benefits to their child.
