AHECS is the voice of higher education careers and employability professionals across Ireland. They exist to celebrate, support and equip careers professionals across 27 Irish universities, Institutes of Technology and HE providers.
IE Brand created a new brand and website to build a stronger membership community and establish AHECS as the go-to body for HE career development and employability in Ireland.
"Professional", "bold", "eye-catching", "fresh" and " professional" are just a few words I've heard used by members of the Association of Higher Education Careers Services in Ireland (AHECS) in response to a new brand and visual identity created by IE Brand and IE Digital. What's even more impressive is the level of positive feedback received when we have yet to formally launch the new brand and website!!Dr David Foster
As a professional association, the Executive Committee was aware of a need to transform how the association presented itself to and engaged with its members, employers of graduates and the faculty and staff with whom we work in our Universities, Institutes and Colleges across the Island. IE have to be commended for engaging with AHECS and presenting potential solutions to the Executive Committee and the Heads of Careers Services in a consultative manner with a genuine desire to listen evident. From the outset, qualities such as integrity, friendliness, customer focus and professionalism shone through all the staff at IE the Executive Committee came into contact with. These qualities over all else gave AHECS Executive the confidence to partner with IE to complete what turned out to be a virtual project given COVID-19. As a member of the AHECS Executive Committee and lead on the IE developments, I have enjoyed working with Ollie and his team immensely. If you are an organisation looking to have a critical conversation with experts around your brand and digital services, I recommend engaging with Ollie and his team.
