Our homework was to boost enrollment by growing the number of quality student leads. But there’s a snag – more and more of today's students see real-world experience as better career prep than higher education.
The School of Doing
The Challenge
The Solution
We repositioned Sullivan as “The School of Doing" – spotlighting the unique ways hands-on training drives student success. Because doing is the most natural way of learning.

CREATIVE APPROACH:NO TALK, ALL ACTION
The higher education space is full of predictable, smiling students, so we took a bold turn: we dreamed up colorful, stylish and totally unexpected mini-worlds where actions speak louder than words. Sound design was key – from the satisfying “crunch” of the vegetables being chopped to the roar of the open flame. We ditched the voiceover and let the doing do all the talking.
