Lighting the
path to purpose.

Trinity Western University knows learning is becoming.

Trinity Western University helps students navigate one of life’s biggest questions: not just what to study, but who they want to become. Known for its supportive community and faith-informed approach, TWU creates space for students to grow with intention. To reach students searching for meaning in a crowded education landscape, the university looked to share its mission with greater clarity and impact

Challenge
Students struggled to see where TWU could fit into their academic and spiritual journey. Without a clear story or visual identity, the university risked blending into a crowded post-secondary market.

 

Insight
High school students are searching for direction and meaning. Feedback from 500 juniors and seniors revealed that 68% felt uncertain about their future path, while 75% longed for a faith-centered environment that nurtures both mind and heart.

 

Idea

The ‘Be the Light’ campaign unified TWU’s mission and academic excellence under a single, compelling story. From a tactile look-book that revealed light upon touch to digital storytelling showcasing real student journeys, the campaign highlighted the transformative power of knowledge and faith. A cohesive presence at student fairs reinforced the message and created memorable, hands-on experiences.

Illuminating potential.

For TWU’s recruitment brochure, we used special heat-activated ink that transformed with a touch of body warmth. The phrase “Be the Light” warmed to reveal a smiling student behind the shadows, symbolizing guidance, growth, and the personal transformation students experience at Trinity Western.
