Challenge

Warner University, founded in 1968 as Warner Southern College, called on leaders at Prolific to expand the young institution’s reach and impact. Located strategically between Orlando and Tampa, Warner sought to grow enrollment, develop their academic programs, and evolve from a College to a University. Prolific engaged President Greg Hall with bold ideas and compelling strategies to increase enrollment revenue, boost the endowment, reposition the school’s brand, and motivate the alumni base.

Solution

Warner University went through a Strategic Growth Plan focused on comprehensively driving enrollment growth. This 5-year plan included strategies around starting new academic programs such as agriculture, breaking ground on new academic buildings and housing, implementing an enhanced approach to advertising, renaming and rebranding the institution, starting a football program, and having President Hall coauthor a top-selling book. The results for Warner were profound.

Results
  • Helped Warner achieve its #1 highest enrollment class in the history of the University
  • Warner’s enrollment steadily climbed for 7 consecutive years.

“The main reason a partnership is transformative is that it produces results way beyond expectations. A partner like this discovers what other wise goes unnoticed. I thought we were engaging the services of a highly successful consulting firm. We did, in fact, get that expertise, and so much more along the way. They took a good institution with wonderful people and made us believe in what we did in an uncommon way. This is what a transformative partner, seeking to bring your soul to life, can do.”
