Brand Attributes

Brand positioning

In order to tell one cohesive story, we’ve built a brand positioning statement that combines our mission, vision and guiding commitments into a single phrase. Our positioning captures what differentiates us from other universities and represents how we want audiences to see us. While not a tagline, all messaging should be rooted in this conceptual core to unify Charlotte across all communication.

  • Charlotte prepares its graduates to hit the ground running, bringing bold new thinking and skills honed in innovative, interdisciplinary programs and cutting-edge research that expands and accelerates progress.
