How our video content helped Victoria University (VU) launch their revolutionary First Year Model Program

We managed all of the video & traditional marketing content for VU’s platforms

Victoria University (VU) engaged Electric Street to develop customised video content and traditional marketing materials / assets to help launch their First Year Model across their website, social media and internal channels and promote the positioning that the VU First Year Model “puts students needs first”. Our work included:

  • Logo Development
  • Animated Branding Package
  • 4 x 60 second Explainer Videos
  • 8 x 15-30 second Testimonial Videos
  • 4 x Social Ads / Animated GIF’s
  • 2 x Digital Flyers / Handouts
  • Open Day Vox Pops

Our Solution

1. We started with an Explainer Video

Communicating how the VU FYM Model worked in the simplest way possible. We created customised versions for School Leavers, Non-School Leavers & International Students.

2. We Interviewed VU Experts

Our interview videos included a “big question” super beside the VU Experts response. We also added animated content to help explain the more complicated elements of the program.

4. We created Flyers for key Events

We developed flyers which incorporated elements and key messaging from the Explainer Video. These flyers were distributed at VU Open Days to help increase awareness of the VU First Year Model Program and to drive traffic to the VU website for potential students to view the Video

5. We conducted Vox-Pops at the VU Open Day

Our Electric Street Video Crew attended the VU Open Days and conducted vox-pop interviews with attendees…  (what was produced and where was it promoted)
