Objective

Objective:
Our mission was to create a campaign for the ETSU Department of
Housing and Residence Life to increase the number of students living
on campus. We focused on methods that would appeal to incoming
students and current students.

Slogan:
After being given the theme Write Your Buc Story, we collaborated
on potential slogans. We decided on be more than an E#. We believe
this slogan is representative of both the student body and ETSU as a
whole. By using the E#, we incorporate ETSUs specific identity. The
rest of the slogan, along with the theme, invites students to make their
personal mark within residence life.

Theme:
For our theme we placed social media icons that correspond to ETSU
Department of Housing and Residence Lifes presence on social media prominently on our campaign materials. Another visual theme we
embraced was the addition of icons. We used icons that we felt were
representative of ETSUs identity on multiple pieces to encourage the
idea of personalization. Mountains, football, basketball, a bicycle, a
book and a music note are just a few of the icons we chose to promote
the overall slogan of be more than an E#.

the community promoting ETSU through ETSU Pride yard signs could be asked to
display the ETSU housing yard signs.

for.
