"Just as impressive is the fact that she never forgets the people behind the technology—her employees and customers are always front and center. Her values-led approach is exactly the type of leadership we need as we move into an exciting and unprecedented future driven by AI innovation and emerging technology."

    George Mason University Completes Long-Term Rebrand With New Logo.

    "Higher education in America is at an inflection point, with families having a harder time finding a top-quality, affordable college education at a university that will actually admit them," said George Mason President Gregory Washington. "George Mason has always offered these things, but few families know of this value because our brand and message have not been adequately heard. This new look is our reintroduction to the community, and a symbol of our commitment to the fundamentals: outstanding and rigorous academics, pragmatic career preparation and internships, flexibility and value, and an atmosphere of belonging for everyone."

    "George Mason has always boxed above its weight in Northern Virginia and D.C., and it needs an identity system to compete in the most competitive higher education market in the nation," said Horace Blackman, rector of George Mason's Board of Visitors. "This identity system brings George Mason shoulder-to-shoulder with leading brands in higher education."

    "I am thrilled that George Mason Athletics will lead the charge to a unified look that reflects the modern character of this great university," said Marvin Lewis, assistant vice president and director of Intercollegiate Athletics. "George Mason Athletics develops true scholar-athletes and serves as the front porch of the university, so it's important to promote one consistent identity to unify our community."

    "Embark was founded on our core belief that happy is good for business and that people do their best work when they're happy," said Embark CEO Clancy Fossum when speaking about the campaign's genesis. "It may sound obvious but it's pretty revolutionary in an industry that has become the poster child for bad work culture. That's what differentiates us from every other firm in the space—the health and happiness of our employees is our top priority, not just lip service."

    "It's time to tell the world about Embark. Our goal is nothing less than to create the most iconic brand in our industry around our core belief that happy is good for business," said Embark Founder Paul Allen. "The consulting industry isn't going anywhere, but the old way of consulting is long overdue for change. Embark is ushering in a new era of consulting, where people do their best work because they're happy."
