Go Austin College!


Austin College is a small liberal arts school in Sherman, Texas. The college had never used brand awareness marketing. They were looking to not only drive recognition of Austin College and it’s location north of Dallas, but they wanted to also increase registration numbers with a focus on Dallas/Fort Worth, San Antonio and Houston. The campaign was grounded in the idea of unexpected learning leading to successful outcomes. The split-screen execution for year one put the focus on the student with the "Go" messaging as the rally cry to succeed.
