ICS — Institutional Compliance Solutions
Brand Identity • Email Strategy • Launch Communications
Overview
ICS is a national Title IX and compliance firm founded by attorney Courtney Bullard of Chattanooga, TN. When she left her law firm to launch ICS, she needed credible branding and a strategic communication system that would allow her to reach institutional leaders across the country.
My Role
Partnered with ICS from 2016–2022 to build the brand from the ground up:
Logo + visual brand identity
Marketing collateral for legal services & training programs
Mailchimp setup, list segmentation & ongoing email campaigns
Outreach to Title IX coordinators, superintendents, HR directors & higher-ed administrators
Creative direction during a period of rapid growth
Impact
The email campaigns and branding foundation I created helped drive ICS’s early visibility, course enrollment, and client acquisition. ICS grew from a solo startup to a multi-attorney national firm with online training programs used by institutions across the U.S. — earning national media attention, including HBO features.
