Fractional Services
Shared or fractional service staffing models are becoming a popular way for organizations to access top talent at a reduced cost. With our fractional service approach, you subscribe to a level of service that fits your need. In return, you obtain guaranteed access to an insights leader who can strategically manage the complete function, not just a single project at a time. By reserving a set number of service hours, you will have access to an insights expert whenever you need them. Even the largest universities may benefit from the fractional service model by avoiding the expenses related to employing a full-time, in-house insights executive, while being able to access a broad range of expertise and tools.

University Experience
Collegiate Insights has helped universities with a broad range of marketing challenges.
- A top five non-profit online university was able to drive both brand equity and enrollment in online programs. Insights were derived from a brand tracking study, causal modeling and creative pre-testing.
- As presented at DRIVE/Cast in 2020, Arizona State University was able to increase alumni affinity to drive engagement and donations. Consumer insights methods included concept measurement and diagnostic modeling to inform creative content.
- A major public research university was able to measure ad effectiveness without a sales outcome. A large quantitative research study was designed to obtain pre- and post-campaign brand perceptions from the same respondents. Advanced analytics were used to quantify the impact of each channel on overall brand perception changes.
