From the Nominator
We chose the ambitious goal of communicating the impact made by the gift or gifts of every donor who contributed to the university in 2018. The message was delivered through a clean, engaging-yet-simple animated video, and an associated landing page. We used email to deliver our message on a single day and responded to the feedback generated by social media immediately. The response from donors was significant and rewarding.
From the Judges
This is a clever video with personal messages about research, students, outreach. Attention to a broad audience paid off; considerable investment of staff time and cross-school collaboration shows. Creative use of a limited color palate.
