Niagara University’s “What’s On Your Mind?” advertising campaign garnered a silver medal in a national competition of college and university marketing materials.
Niagara’s 2012-13 advertising strategy earned the Collegiate Advertising Award among competing colleges with between 2,001 and 5,000 students.
“What’s On Your Mind?” comprised a seven-part series of 15-second commercials that addressed critical issues students face when selecting a college. The spots were formatted in a manner that began with a student voicing his or her concern before concluding with a university-related statistic that corresponded with the topic. Subjects included job placement, campus involvement, financial aid, and community service and study abroad opportunities.
“There are so many great stories here at Niagara, and it’s great to be able to communicate these through our advertising vehicles,” said Tom Burns, associate vice president for public relations, communications and marketing.
The spots were tied into online advertising campaigns on sites like Facebook, YouTube, SparkNotes and Pandora. In addition, the ads were featured prior to movie showings at Regal Cinemas throughout Western New York.
More than 700 entries from the United States and Canada were submitted in the CAA competition’s multiple categories, designed to highlight communication, marketing and advertising initiatives.
