Junior & Sophomore Search

Junior & Sophomore Search has never been so important.

Fire Engine RED can help you broaden your outreach to targeted high school juniors and sophomores by creating a fully-customized Student Search marketing campaign that tells your school's unique story and drives students to a pre-populated Web form.

Your Search Campaign may include electronic communications, print communications, or both.

In addition, Fire Engine RED provides you with the option of targeting high school juniors, sophomores, or both. The students you target may be on your newly purchased lists or may be those who have not responded to your previous marketing communications.

A dedicated, experienced Project Leader will manage our team of content, design and online response form experts during your project's implementation.

Your Search Team will advise you on best practices for print and electronic communications and your Project Leader will closely monitor the progress of your campaign and provide you with high-level reports.

We are data-driven. At key intervals, your Project Leader will meet with you to discuss any changes you might want to make to your current messaging or strategy based on changes in the marketplace or the results you have received to date.
