brand story

Got a minute? UAB is debuting its first-ever unified brand campaign: "Knowledge that will change your world." But how do you summarize a world-renowned university and medical center in six words — or 60 seconds?

“The importance of having a clear, recognizable brand cannot be overstated,” says UAB President Ray L. Watts. “In an environment as complex and decentralized as UAB, a brand will help unify, simplify, and define us. It also will help elevate our profile with the greater public as we communicate our relevance and value.”

Take a peek behind the scenes at the planning process, from the careful crafting of the message to the action on the set of a new TV commercial. You can also test your own UAB knowledge with an interactive quiz.
