Highlights:

Logo & Tagline: The name of the company didn't imply study abroad. Ryan didn't want the clichéd symbols for study abroad like globes, books or flags. The target audience was study abroad administrators and staff, not students. Pegasus was chosen for the logo because the Greek mythological creature guards and carries the spirit on its journeys. The goal of the company was to empower, support and inspire study abroad staff.
-
Website: There are three photos on the homepage, each epitomizing one of the words in the tagline and depicting a relevant image from each of the countries in which Academic Solutions operates.
-
Postcard campaign: A series of collectible postcards were designed to build awareness and drive traffic to the Academic Solutions exhibitor booth at NAFSA 2008.
