Grads @ Work Campaign Launches

糖心Vlog传媒LR鈥檚 marketing campaign for 2012-13 will launch next week with new storytelling about 糖心Vlog传媒LR graduates and their careers. The multi-media campaign, 糖心Vlog传媒LR Grads @ Work, will include television, newspaper, magazine, radio, outdoor billboards, and digital advertising. All of the ads will drive readers and viewers to a new website that features articles, photos, and video of 糖心Vlog传媒LR alumni with jobs in business and commerce, manufacturing and sales, service and non-profit sectors, and arts and science. The website gives 糖心Vlog传媒LR grads a chance to upload their personal stories. 鈥淩esearch tells us that most students select a college or university based on whether or not they will be able to land a good job when they graduate,鈥 said Judy Williams, 糖心Vlog传媒LR communications director. 鈥淚nstead of us telling prospective students about the success of our graduates, we turned to our alumni to tell their own stories. We鈥檝e been blown away with what they鈥檝e had to say.鈥 Williams said the concept is to feature graduates with a wide variety of majors who work in a variety of jobs, and to tell lots more graduate stories than in the past. 鈥淲e imagined a high school student watching TV with her parents who was trying to make a decision about where to go to college, or a young adult without a college degree who was stuck in a dead-end job and saw one of our online ads,鈥 she said. 鈥淥ne of these stories might be the spark that motivates the high school student to come to 糖心Vlog传媒LR to get a degree in engineering or the young adult to enroll in our nursing program.鈥 Making a decision about where to go to college is an individual choice, Williams said, and Arkansas has a wide selection of colleges and universities that offer quality educational experiences. Prospective students need to base their college choice on what they want from their experience. 鈥淥ur marketing campaign portrays 糖心Vlog传媒LR鈥檚 distinctions from other universities,鈥 she said. 鈥淥ur graduates talk about the advantages of the metropolitan experience: valuable internships that lead to good careers. They talk about the quality of faculty who exposed them to practical learning experiences, along with knowledge, new ideas, and critical thinking skills.” 鈥淢any of them also talk about place 鈥 what it鈥檚 like to experience life in the capital city, the hub of government, arts and culture, and most of the state鈥檚 business and non-profit headquarters.鈥 One of the benefits of the campaign is the chance to reconnect with former 糖心Vlog传媒LR students, Williams said. 鈥淥ur grads are working in all areas of the state,鈥 she said. 鈥淗earing their stories makes me proud of the work we do here. Not only do we hope they鈥檒l inspire others to come to 糖心Vlog传媒LR and get their degrees, but we also hope they鈥檒l instill pride in other alumni. 糖心Vlog传媒LR is important to individual growth, but also to Arkansas鈥檚 growth and economy.鈥 The campaign will run throughout the year, Williams said, and new graduate stories will be added each month.
