Ahead of Melbourne’s final year exams, Swinburne has positioned itself as the university of choice for developing future careers, with the launch of its ‘next gen_degree’ campaign via Deloitte Digital.
This new brand campaign takes on the common misconception that a university degree is just a piece of paper and shows the real-world impact Swinburne enables their graduates to have.
Highlighting the university’s emerging and priority degrees, provocative headlines tap topical issues including cyber security, climate change and the global economy, showing students what a Swinburne degree can help them achieve in life.
Says Charles Baylis, executive creative director of Deloitte Digital: “It’s been incredibly impressive finding out what Swinburne graduates are actually doing with their degrees and the impact these ‘pieces of paper’ are having on the real world. I hope this work helps connect with all prospective students who might be questioning the real-world value of tertiary education.”
Says Carolyn Bendall, chief marketing officer at Swinburne University of Technology: “We’re delighted to bring to market this new brand campaign for Swinburne University of Technology. It builds upon our next gen_now brand promise by demonstrating the uniqueness of a Swinburne degree. Our graduates leave Swinburne with so much more than a piece of paper and are doing impactful, interesting, and important work out there across the world. From cyber security to cold cases, green energy to games and interactivity, business analytics to business start-ups, a next gen degree from Swinburne gives cutting edge skills, real industry experience and an incredibly supportive and caring community to ensure success.”
The ‘next gen_degree’ creative will roll out through a fully integrated campaign across broadcast TV, OOH, social media, digital display, and on swinburne.edu.au
