Recommendation
Analyses of the ten target sites showed that the websites which may act as incubator for Clark’s developing brand are somewhat limited. Most of these important referring sites do not allow the flexibility to shape the university’s image. The university aims not only to differentiate itself from other schools, but to spread the word. Based on careful online research we found opportunities to market the Clark brand at five different websites; Zinch.com, Google.com, Facebook.com, Princetonreview.com, and Petersons.com.
