UB’s Message Map
This is the messaging map for the university as a whole. The themes featured below are reflected in all departments and schools across the institution.
Each unit has a map specific to it, based on the university-wide map.
Unit and division-specific maps were developed through the following steps:
- Filling in the attributes.
- Matching up each attribute with a benefit.
- Filling in the supporting points for each attribute and benefit.
- Ideally, attributes and benefits match up one for one, but it’s not mandatory.
- It’s possible to have multiple supporting points for a single attribute or benefit.
We've also expanded on the appropriate elements of the master brand to craft a full communications guide and evolved message map specifically for our graduate and professional programs.
