We’ve just launched a strong new branding campaign for the University of Colorado Division of Continuing Education and Professional Studies with the theme “Who says dreams have to change.” Using provocative shots of kids and their dreams, and alluding to courses taken later in life that help fulfill those dreams, the campaign uses print, web, online, outdoor and social media to get the word out. What were your dreams as a kid? Did those dreams come true?
