Message Matrix project
A message matrix is a powerful, positioning document that guides the way we talk about a faculty or unit at UNB. The project builds upon the university’s UNB brand foundation – a comprehensive internal tool that defines what makes a UNB education distinct.
For each message matrix, we form a working group with the faculty to develop a guiding document that empowers the UNB community to share each faculty or unit’s unique story in a consistent and cohesive manner.
The process
The process involves deep and extensive discussions with faculty leaders to develop:
- A SWOT analysis: a summary of the unit’s identified strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats
- A Message Matrix: a guiding document that includes the faculty or unit’s mission statement, positioning statement, brand truths, key messages and proof points
