Challenge The University of Adelaide wanted to connect with prospective students and make their rich history more engaging and approachable.
Solution Leveraging their strong brand heritage, we employed 'Uni Guy', a novel character based on a statue of one of the founders of the uni, and playfully introduced him in a modern context relevant to today. He appeared in outdoor, print and radio promotions and in person in the Mall.
Result Prospective students recognised, understood and liked Uni Guy. Representing a distinguished institution with a modern twist, he provided an eye catching point of difference in a highly competitive market.
