2006 Fall Recruitment
2005 – 2006

Today, the challenges of a rapidly changing world have made business skills and experiences hot commodities. More students are considering business as the foundation of their higher-education experience, and considering Bentley in the process. Bentley, with its unique blend of business, technology and the liberal arts, provides students with relevant, practical and transferable skills — precisely what they need in order to succeed in a changing world and pursue their passions in life.

Business is hot and so is Bentley — a recruitment message we seized upon in a big way this fall.

Working closely with our partners at TIME Magazine, we created a special, integrated campaign designed to reach multiple audiences — including parents and influencers as well as high school students and potential graduate students — in geographic areas targeted by the Bentley Admissions department. The campaign is running in both TIME Magazine and on Time.com. It invites viewers to visit “Business Is Hot.com,” a unique Bentley website thematically aligned with the special recruitment initiative.

In all, we reached over a million households with our September 11th issue of TIME; 200,000 will receive our special TIME inserts, and an estimated 6 million visitors will see our online campaign during September and October.

Running in the eastern regional edition of TIME, these ads will reach 1.2 million households and are targeted toward parents of high school students. The ads position Bentley as the right choice for students preparing for a world “that’s being reinvented every day.”

The TIME.com campaign also includes an online “roadblock”: two coordinated units that effectively allow Bentley to “own the page” with its recruitment message. This campaign runs during September and October. The estimated number of unique viewers to TIME.com is 6 million.
