A brand is a promise, a big idea that speaks to the heart and mind of the prospective student. It is that individual’s collective set of expectations about the experience he or she will have at Lethbridge College.

Our brand positions us as a high-quality, well-rounded, friendly institution and visually demonstrates the high standards that define Lethbridge College. All materials distributed from the college must meet the guidelines of Lethbridge College’s brand as outlined by our brand standards.

Guidelines for creating online content

  • Always speak in first person plural: “We’re excited to announce…”
  • Whenever possible, post media-rich content. Posts with images, links or videos – as opposed to just text – lead to higher user engagement.
  • Photos taken in public places (not classrooms) and used for editorial (not advertising) purposes may be shared on social media without a photo/video release.
  • Avoid the used of stock art, clip art, comics or email-forward-style images – generate and use original content whenever possible.
  • Post and share in a friendly, supportive and approachable manner. Don’t hesitate to joke in good taste, speak with students one-on-one and share funny stories related to the college.
  • Find and use original sources in linked content. If you find content you wish to share, trace it back to its original source and link to that.


Occasionally, exceptions to brand standards may be permitted in conforming to the constraints of online platforms.
