Campaign Examples


will.i.am joins The GAME School — Cross-institutional storytelling for a landmark faculty announcement

Objective: Build visibility and credibility around will.i.am's appointment as faculty at The GAME School, supporting both Herberger Institute's own channels and broader ASU cross-institutional storytelling.

Action Plan: Develop and publish original content on Herberger Institute's own channels announcing the appointment, while supporting collaborative amplification on ASU leadership and cross-institutional accounts to extend reach and credibility beyond a single department.

Work Done:
Content Strategy · Social Media Management · Copywriting · Cross-Institutional Collaboration · Community Management

Objective: Correct a common misconception that Herberger Institute exists only in Tempe, using a single native-feeling reel to reveal its real footprint across Phoenix, Mesa, Los Angeles, and online programs.

Action Plan: Build a reveal-style reel structure — opening with the common assumption viewers already hold, then expanding shot by shot to show the Institute's actual national reach — designed to feel like scroll-stopping content rather than an obvious promotional message.
