Syracuse University's Whitman School of Management

How Whitman Became a Business School That Speaks Gen Z

the problem

The Whitman School came to POV with its ambitious goal of becoming a top 20 business school by 2030. With Gen Z increasingly making decisions based on digital experiences, the school realized it wasn’t enough to just “be online”—they needed to resonate with Gen Z on their turf.

the Solution

POV helped discover Whitman’s social voice across channels and audiences. We created trend-savvy, student-first content, captured live events, and built a content system designed to grow their audience and their brand reputation. The result? POV helped foster Whitman’s best recruitment cycle yet!

Results

  • 3.7M+ Impressions
  • +95% Engagement Rate
  • 2x more public engagement than peer school

When universities humanize their brand and show up authentically across channels, students lean in. By building a consistent voice across platforms, Whitman showed up as more than an account – they became part of the conversation.

“We identified a need in our efforts to market to Gen Z and filled that need this semester by hiring POV. It has been a benefit to our department and the Whitman School to have had the resources of POV available to us this semester in our continued efforts to share on social media some of the amazing things we do at this school. The team has been doing an outstanding job highlighting students, alumni, speakers, and events happening at the Whitman School.”
