Branding
Huskers Keep Growing was designed to create positive, inclusive and hopeful messaging for UNL students. Authenticity and peer-to-peer influence were key components for the campaign. Branding utilized bright and engaging colors alongside handwritten typography to create an approachable and friendly feel.
Video production
Student stories were integral to the campaign. UNL students were interviewed about their personal experiences and challenges and spoke directly to their peers about how taking care of their emotional well-being made a difference in their lives.
Web design & Development
Graphic Design
Various collateral pieces were developed to spread awareness of the campaign across campus. Stickers featuring positive messaging were distributed to students to foster a sense of community. Static clings were also put up in various buildings where students congregated across campus.
Social Media
Campus partners were encouraged to use the social media toolkit to amplify the campaign messages online. The toolkit included a social media playbook, content calendar, social media assets and suggested copy to use on social platforms. The hashtag #HuskersKeepGrowing helped create an online conversation around the campaign.
