Vendi wins national gold for Viterbo digital campaign ‘Think/Feel/Believe’

A recruitment campaign developed by Vendi for Viterbo University has earned gold in the 7th Annual Education Digital Marketing Awards. The national awards, sponsored by Higher Education Marketing Report, recognize exceptional quality, creativity and message effectiveness.

Vendi created the Think/Feel/Believe campaign to highlight the ways in which Viterbo supports Generation Z and their unique goals and desires. The campaign illustrates how Viterbo students gain skills and insight to help bring their ideas to life and find a path to make a meaningful impact in their field. Ads encourage students to believe in themselves, their choices and their goals. The campaign also addresses parents with the message that Viterbo is an affordable private university given the financial aid opportunities and the 4-year graduation guarantee.

A national panel of higher education marketers, advertising creative directors, marketing and advertising professionals and the editorial board of Higher Education Marketing Report judged the entries.

Our stream of consciousness

The ROI of knowing your audience

Who’s out there?
Where are they?
What do they need?
What do they want?
Who should you really be targeting?

Research-based personas — detailed, data-grounded profiles of your target customers built on qualitative and quantitative research — help you answer those questions and more. Carefully crafted personas help you target and reach the right people where they prefer to consume media and show them exactly what you’ve got to offer.

Structuring & writing content for AI

Retrieval is like securing a job interview. It gets your content in the room, but it doesn’t guarantee selection. Structure is what determines whether your content gets “the job,” that is, whether it’s deemed “useful” enough to be included in a response.

Optimizing content for AI retrieval

Most content never makes it into an AI-generated answer. Not because it’s bad, but because it’s never found in the first place. Before an AI system can use your content in a response, it must retrieve it. If you don’t win the retrieval battle, your content never even makes it onto the field.
