Inspired at UIndy
Already known as a school with top-notch academic programs, small class sizes and opportunities for hands-on learning and community service, the University of Indianapolis wanted to broaden awareness and enhance perceptions.
We developed the thematic “Inspired. For the rest of your life.” to convey the strong foundation UIndy provides to students. A multimedia campaign targeting community leaders with TV, radio, print, outdoor, and web grew out of this theme. Three TV spots shot in a documentary style highlight a range of UIndy alumni while honest, genuine photography reflects the personal nature that UIndy offers.

Community Matters
Community matters to The Children’s Museum. Recently, we helped them get the word out with their annual Community Report. The world’s biggest and best children’s museum injects millions into the region’s economy; improves the quality of life of its visitors and neighborhood; and is an invaluable resource for students, teachers, and educational institutions across the state. Indiana is fortunate to be home to this outstanding institution. (Plus, they’ve got DINOS!)
