Story | For one month we turned outdoor advertising in Melbourne’s cbd into interactive exhibits of university research. This was supported by a mobile site that provided a guide and streamed audio content. Branded public transport became exhibition shuttles, outdoor advertising that took people directly to the exhibits. We launched with an activation and press event in the city square offering walking tours and the exhibition cafeteria. This put the campaign into the national spotlight. Outdoor, social and online advertising recruited people during the exhibition period. These integrated activities drove people to an online content hub to explore more university research. |
Problem | Despite being Australia’s number one university and a highly respected institution globally, market research consistently identified limited awareness and understanding of the university of Melbourne’s research endeavour and public contribution. We had to change the perception of the university within Australia, from a teaching institution to a centre of world changing research. The objective was to increase public engagement with our research by achieving 1,000,000+ views of the university’s online research content and increasing awareness of our research reputation within Melbourne by 10%. |
