Velammal World AcademyBar Icon

Velammal World Academy (VWA) is an IB school established by the Velammal Educational Trust, a trusted name in the education space with 21 schools under it. VWA is, however, one of the very few IB schools in Chennai which offer IB’s Primary Education Program.

Challenge

Our first challenge was to create a niche for VWA and differentiate the brand from its sister Velammal Schools with completely different offerings.

Secondly, while Velammal Educational Trust was a renowned name in education, VWA, an IB school, was an entirely new entity offering an alternative education pedagogy. One MG was tasked with establishing VWA as a premium brand, promoting the concept of IB education and priming the parents to a school of the future.

Solution

One MG undertook an analysis and audit of VWA's partner websites to formulate a branding strategy that would set it apart from their namesakes. Moreover, we sought to rethink the brand in a way that would make it look exclusive. A website that promoted IB education was designed keeping this objective in mind.

STRATEGIC CONSULTING

Acting as a strategic consultant for the educational institution, One MG conceptualised a strategy for branding hierarchy and information flow was conceived based on the website analysis and audit of the entire Velammal Group, to help differentiate VWA in the crowd.

Website

  • One MG created an SEO optimized, mobile first, responsive website for Velammal with easy backend integration for information.
  • A WordPress website was designed with an information architecture that explained the new offering, painting the picture of how IB was the future of education and directly spoke to parents about the innovative teaching methodology and experiential learning that IB schools encouraged.
  • Extensive use of brand colors and bright imagery created a child-friendly look and ensured easy consumption of the detailed content that set it a class apart from other schools in Chennai.
