| | | Beyond the Brochures: STS collaborates with KQ Communications to give Students a Voice in College MarketingAt STS Enterprise, we believe that student voices matter—especially when it comes to shaping their own futures. That’s why we were thrilled to collaborate with KQ Communications to host a powerful College Recruitment & Marketing Focus Group with 50 high school juniors at Freedom Prep High School. This engaging session wasn’t just about talking to students—it was about listening to them. KQ Communications, a powerhouse in strategic storytelling and branding, led students through a dynamic discussion exploring: Where they look for college information (social media, websites, in-person visits, etc.) What messaging actually resonates with them (authentic student stories vs. generic marketing) What they want to see in college recruitment efforts (more transparency, access, and relatable content)
