The Oregon Higher Education Coordinating Council (HECC) serves as a vital connector between K-12 schools and higher education institutions, fostering collaboration among teachers, faculty, and administrators to create a seamless educational journey for students. With a mission to unify and streamline these systems, HECC partnered with Watson Creative to develop a cohesive brand identity, innovative communication tools, and a modern website that underscores its critical role in Oregon’s educational landscape.
Watson’s approach centered on creating clear and compelling narratives that resonate with diverse stakeholders, from educators to policymakers. By designing a streamlined website and digital ecosystem, Watson enabled HECC to effectively communicate its vision and connect key audiences. Additional tools, including branded resources and outreach campaigns, further amplified HECC’s mission of aligning education systems and building pathways for student success.
Through this partnership, the HECC now operates with a strong, unified voice that supports its goals of collaboration, accessibility, and innovation, solidifying its role as a cornerstone of educational progress in Oregon.
