CMU We Do Brand Campaign 2023-2024

Role: Social Media Strategist & Project Manager
Timeline: 8 months
Platforms: TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn, Facebook, X


What were our challenges?

  • Higher education marketing is predictable and boring - we needed to find a way to stand out amongst our competitors.

  • Many people have a growing concern about whether or not a college degree is worth an investment.

What did we want to accomplish?

  • Brand humor was the forefront of our campaign, because our university believes that college should be a fun experience.

  • Instead of creating a group of matching assets to put on all platforms, we built ads that felt native to each platform.

  • Collaborate with influencers that would increase our brand recognition.

  • Help our audiences associate our university with getting a job after graduation.
