Branding, promotions and (lots of) fundraising! POSTMKTG has had the distinct privilege of working with Christian Brothers Academy, an Albany middle school and high school that counts among its many esteemed graduates Pulitzer Prize-winning author William Kennedy, since the summer of 2015. It’s been a remarkable interactive partnership, the fruits of which include a comprehensive…
The giving community of CBA in Albany continues to amaze. BronationDay *again* broke a record, this year for the most individual donations in a single day. Sights were set on 650. By midnight, after a full day blitz, the school had received 659, unlocking a $100,000 matching gift, and raising a total of $231,126.
For the 7th year, POSTMKTG is thrilled to lead the BronationDay charge for long-term client Christian Brothers Academy. Building on our successful efforts to raise funds for a new academic wing, updates to its lecture center, supplemental financial assistance during COVID, a new turf field, and the totally insane effort to finalize funding for the first all-season multi-use dome on any Capital Region campus, for 2024, and to emphasize the school’s college prep focus, CBA is raising funds for a new Academic Achievement Center.
To a huge and enthusiastic crowd dwarfed by an even “huge-er” space, long-term client Christian Brothers Academy opened the doors to The Dome, a stunning multi-use all-weather facility now rising impressively on the school’s Albany campus.
POSTMKTG is proud of the important role we played in helping the school raise more than $4 million over a few short years to fund The Dome’s construction (and the school’s new turf field). And we are equally proud of the environmental graphics that greet visitors and prepare them for the impressive space they are about to enter.
The students at CBA are just like students at every other private or public middle school or high school … except when they aren’t. Like when its time to put on the uniform and get serious about the day’s studies. Or time to march in formation at a Veterans Day parade. Or when the National Anthem is played before a game.
Since partnering with POSTMKTG, CBA has seen a 42% increase in enrollment , raised $10 million across two successful capital campaigns, introduced a new annual giving day which raised an astounding $604,000 in 16 hours in 2023, redesigned its bi-annual magazine, revised and relaunched its website (twice!), added several scholarship programs and reengaged its alumni and supporter network.
With a command to “bring home the dome,” on May 12, 2023, CBA shattered its BronationDay record, raising more than $605,000 in just 16 hours and putting a big fat exclamation point at the end of its 2-year, $4,000,000 capital campaign.
Creative production has become less like car assembly and more like painting as tools and resources have become increasingly democratized. Add to that a relationship of trust between client and agency, built project by project over 7 amazing years, and campaigns like CBA’s 2022 Spring Open House are a regular result.
Christian Brothers Academy reports their Capital Campaign has crossed the $5 million mark, and is on track to meet its $5.2 million goal right on schedule.
We couldn’t be prouder.
