We translate discovery into strategy by designing a tailored alumni network that’s built to last. From platform development to content planning and engagement strategies, every element is informed by the insights we gather during our collaboration. The result is a program that’s not only well-executed but also deeply integrated into your organization’s business and talent goals.

We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Our approach begins with a deep dive into your firm’s culture, goals, and brand identity. By working closely with key stakeholders, we ensure that your alumni program is not only strategically sound but also authentically reflects your organization’s values and long-term vision. This alignment is what drives meaningful engagement and long-lasting impact.
Best-In-Class Engagement Campaigns: Ignite Connection
We offer a range of innovative engagement initiatives, including internal soft launches, company contests, signature events, and feedback surveys, to build awareness and enthusiasm around the alumni program.
These campaigns help employees and alumni understand the program’s value as a relationship-building and business development tool.

Early engagement builds momentum and ensures the program resonates from day one. By gathering feedback through surveys and involving employees in pre-launch activities, we create a sense of ownership and enthusiasm. This foundation helps the alumni network thrive as a relationship-building and business development resource.

Absolutely. One standout initiative was a month-long internal contest launching in partnership with their Marketing and Business Development teams. The goal was to encourage employees to join their newly launched alumni portal. We offered a reward - lunch for the entire office - to the first office that achieved 100% participation.
The response was incredible: in just one-month, internal engagement surged by 143%. This campaign not only boosted platform engagement but also created a sense of excitement and friendly competition across offices.
Content Development and Community Building: Delivering Value Beyond the Opt-In
A successful alumni program thrives on consistent, high-quality content. We develop and manage a content plan that keeps your alumni network active and engaged. From spotlighting alumni achievements and boomerang hires to adding job opportunities, upcoming events, company news, and exclusive perks.
Every piece of content is designed to drive repeat visits, deepen connections, and position the program as a valuable business development tool. Our approach ensures your platform remains dynamic, relevant, and aligned with your organization’s goals

Strategic content keeps the alumni network active and meaningful. By regularly showcasing alumni achievements, career opportunities, and exclusive perks, we create a rhythm of engagement that encourages alumni to return, participate, and share.
It’s not just about staying informed - it’s about staying connected to a community that continues to offer professional value and opportunity.

Many organizations choose to feature job opportunities from trusted clients and former colleagues.
These job opportunities are shared with alumni, who often circulate them within their broader networks. It’s a win-win; alumni gain access to exclusive roles, and the organization strengthen relationships with their clients and former talent.
Hosting events is great - but helping place an alum in a new position? That’s unforgettable.
Alumni Data Management & Analytics: Measuring and Optimizing Impact
Go beyond basic metrics with a data-driven approach to alumni program performance. We track key KPIs such as new business from alumni, boomerang rehires, and platform engagement. You’ll also receive exclusive access to annual corporate alumni benchmarking reports, giving you a clear view of how your program compares to other leading organizations - and how you can grow.
Using AI, we generate targeted lists to help you plan high-impact, relationship-driven events that support business development. These insights also support goals like boomerang rehiring and cultivating brand ambassadors who champion your organization.

Each year, a leading alumni technology company produces an annual benchmarking report. Alumni program leaders are among the first to receive and review the findings, engaging in in-depth discussions about current trends and future priorities. This access allows us to bring fresh, research-backed insights directly into our strategy and planning.

Imagine your organization is sponsoring a major industry conference with over 2,000 participants and wants to know if any alumni will be there to potentially host a small gathering.
Instead of manually cross-referencing attendee lists, we collaborate with your innovation team to use AI-driven tolls that identify alumni attendees in minutes. This not only saves time but enables timely, targeted outreach that maximizes event impact.
