Print Visibility Campaign
2008-09
St. Cloud State University Print Campaign
These print advertisements are testimonials by accomplished students at St. Cloud State University. The top three ads have appeared in local and regional publications. The middle two ads won a 2008 Admission Marketing Report Gold Award. They were submitted by their creator Stamats, a Cedar Rapids, Iowa, marketing/advertising/media relations firm. The three ads on the bottom have been used as endorsements for St. Cloud State’s Advanced Preparation Program (APP). APP is a summer program that assists first-year students from communities often under-represented on college campuses.

Late in 2008, St. Cloud State debuted three student testimonial billboards along Central Minnesota roadways. The billboards feature three accomplished students: Jenna Wundrow, Jim Falls, Wis., Ethan Wittrock, Cold Spring, Minn., and Rocky Horn, Melrose, Minn.

The global positioning system ad with the tag line “College is the road. Not the Destination” has been used as the focus of print campaigns in major magazines, including regional editions of Time, Newsweek and U.S. News and World Report as well as Minnesota Monthly, Minnesota Moments, Initiative Foundation Quarterly and others. The same theme has been carried through to billboards and movie theater ads in St. Cloud and the Northwest suburbs of the Twin Cities.
