Campaigning for Success: What Makes an Effective Promotional Campaign?
This session will explore the ingredients of an effective promotional (marketing and communications) campaign for universities. It will draw on examples from many universities around the world and include a particular focus on Monash University's #ChangeIt campaign - with the campaign leader providing the details of this campaign as a shining global example. We'll look at campaigns that build brand awareness, project certain brand values, and provide a compelling narrative. There's been a particular growth in how universities promote their (academic) research strengths and credentials - so we'll be providing examples of these campaigns and the benefits. This will be a case study session - with a senior speaker from Monash University providing details of the #ChangeIt campaign and an experienced global communications consultant providing a range of examples and drawing out the commonalities that make such campaigns impactful and successful.
