Aim: Raise awareness for the Varsity Trip and showcase its history.

Video: This video is as unique as it gets. It’s eye-catching, engaging and colourful.

Aim: Raise awareness for their cause and increase participation in campaigns.

Video: This advert for Movember reminds us: it’s not all doom and gloom. Taking a negative and sensitive topic such as cancer and instead putting a positive spin on the topic. The video is only 30 seconds long and in such a short time manages to invoke a wide range of emotions while also enforcing a solid brand message and advertising their cause. With catchy music in the background, a funny voiceover and snappy cuts, the video remains engaging and hits the target audience in all the right places. This ends up being a great video marketing example, job done.
