San Diego City College (SDCC) faced challenges in driving enrollment and fostering a sense of community among prospective students. Despite its affordability and high-quality programs, SDCC needed to stand out in a crowded higher education landscape and effectively reach diverse audiences.
Key issues included:

Their team is truly invested in our goals and goes above and beyond to ensure we get the best results. Their creativity and innovative thinking have made a huge impact on our projects. For example, they proposed creating a mural to promote our community college—an idea we would have never thought of on our own. It was a brilliant way to engage the community and increase visibility.

“Becky at RSM and the digital team at cThru have been our partners annually to create a multi-channel campaign to support the San Diego County Earned Income Tax Credit Coalition’s efforts to raise awareness around free tax filing assistance and tax credits. As a result, we’ve seen an increase in inquiries, and more San Diegans are receiving tax help! Becky and the team are professional and so much fun to work with while ensuring clients have what they need to succeed. I am always impressed with the team’s responsiveness and trust them with our campaigns.”
