Scion
Because Scion’s off-campus student housing properties differ in design, amenities, and resident experience, a one-size-fits-all approach to branding wouldn’t resonate. We developed clear, distinctive brand identities for each property, tailored to highlight their unique attributes and appeal directly to their target audience.
“We’re working on how we stay true to the voices of our brands, to keep communicating in ways that are thoughtful, responsible and relevant.”
Lauren Merritt, Vice President of Brand and Experience, The Scion Group
