University of Suffolk

Using video marketing strategies to tell the story of an ambitious university

StrategiQ established itself as the university’s video agency of choice, harnessing our knowledge of the brand and its target demographic to create a comprehensive range of assets that could be delivered across Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat, YouTube and LinkedIn, not to mention TV.

By thinking objective first and considering channel delivery at every stage of each project, the University of Suffolk were armed with every ratio, duration and format to supercharge their integrated marketing strategy. By skillfully adapting to filming constraints and other Covid-19 restrictions, our video team helped the University of Suffolk tell its story and market its academic credentials, despite the challenges brought about by the pandemic. With a new academic year beginning in September, it was important for new and existing students to feel welcome at the University of Suffolk.

Echoing the previous clearing campaign message of ‘inspiration’ and ‘change’, this video incorporates footage from newly-shot department videos and purpose-shot updated building and location details.

Covid-19 has continued to transform how education is being delivered to students, and with concerns around universities closing, it was paramount to promote the safety measures that were being taken in order for students to return safely to campus. With a wealth of footage captured throughout the year, we were ideally positioned to create further content, including an introduction to each of the schools from the university’s deans.

We have enjoyed building a strong relationship with the University of Suffolk, ensuring the quality of its marketing output hasn’t been impacted by the ongoing disruption of Covid. With a number of new projects already in the pipeline for 2021, we look forward to helping the university position itself as an attractive option to students for years to come.

“As we strive to recruit more students from across the UK and internationally, we recognised that we needed to be able to showcase the University and our Campus via an engaging digital solution. Part of that was through video content that both informed and inspired potential applicants. The team at StrategiQ excelled in delivering on a complex and demanding brief.” Simon Smith
