Braeburn Square
Our team’s first assignment was to evaluate and provide new suggestions for our very own Braeburn Square, located on the Innovation Campus. The location is filled with great restaurants, a Shocker Store, and even an international bank. However, after a complete evaluation, we found that Braeburn had an outdated presence on all media platforms, and lacked in showcasing everything the square had to offer. There was also a lack of community events being held in the square.
Solution:
The pamphlet was made as a physical flyer to show the current changes to Braeburn Square. It will be impletemented by placing around campus and local hotels and hotspots in town. The pamphlet will be there to help locals and people from out of town find things to do or stay up to date with the city. It was created under Wichita State's branding guidelines to give a clean, simplistic feel. It includes updated photos to attract potential consumers to the square and yellow headlines to bring importance to certain sections about Braeburn.

Airbus Introduction:
- Airbus came to us needing help throwing a block party as a warm welcome to their employees for their new business building on Wichita State's Innovation campus. Our first job was to create a graphic for the event to share on their social media accounts.
Airbus Solution:
- We created a graphic with warm toned colors that was similar to the theme of a backyard barbecue or a summer cookout. We wanted it to be family friendly, warm and welcoming, and relevant to what would be offered during the event.

College of Engineering Introduction:
ShockStarter was engaged by the College of Engineering Program at Wichita State University to oversee all aspects of their marketing initiatives. Among the various responsibilities entrusted to us, one key assignment involved developing a quarterly newsletter for the college. This electronic publication was distributed to Wichita State alumni and Foundation members, with the primary goal of showcasing departmental innovation and generating financial support.
Additionally, our team designed a visually compelling graphic element to promote the Open House event, a high school recruiting initiative aimed at highlighting the College of Engineering. Another project we undertook was the creation of a promotional graphic for an upcoming seminar focusing on the Robotic Engineering Industry.
College of Engineering Solution:
Our first quarterly edition of the newsletter was created and successfully sent out to Alumni and Foundation members. The graphic for Open House was also created and was published on all media platforms for the college. The graphic was made through WSU branding guidelines, and included Robotic Engineering illustration to apply it to the topic of the seminar. Speaker images were also added to intrigue the potential audience.

Braeburn Square Introduction:
Our team’s first assignment was to evaluate and provide new suggestions for our very own Braeburn Square, located on the Innovation Campus.

We decided that in order to attract the Wichita community and Wichita State faculty and students, we needed to be able to reach them in a way that would be attractive and relevant.
Braeburn Square Solution:
We created both a Facebook and Instagram account for Braeburn Square.

Braeburn Square Introduction:
Our team’s first assignment was to evaluate and provide new suggestions for our very own Braeburn Square, located on the Innovation Campus. The location is filled with great restaurants, a Shocker Store, and even an international bank. The website for the square had been poorly updated, and no current information on Social Tap had been added (which was the newest restaurant to be opened). The images of the square were old, and some of the information on events at the square were innaccurate.
Braeburn Square Solution:
To combat the problem, new content photos were taken of the square, information on events were re-written accurately, and the website went under a complete re-design process in order for a new, updated look.

Braeburn Square Introduction:
Our team’s first assignment was to evaluate and provide new suggestions for our very own Braeburn Square, located on the Innovation Campus. The location is filled with great restaurants, a Shocker Store, and even an international bank. Many of the existing photography on Braeburn Square's website was old and did not show some of the newest restaurants located in the square. They also lacked a community feel. Braeburn Square's social media accounts also needed new photo content.

New photos were taken of the square to add to the website, and new photos were also taken for the social media accounts, with a community theme in mind.

Braeburn Square Solution:
- The "Getting To Know Braeburn" video series was created to showcase the behind the scenes aspects of the restaurants and businesses inside of Braeburn Square.
