Own the Now

Showcasing TU's Graduate Excellence

Towson University is known for their undergraduate programs, but their graduate offerings are just as impressive: 80+ top-ranked certificates, plus master’s and doctoral programs designed for career advancement. To raise awareness and drive applications, TU partnered with us to create a campaign that tackled the biggest reasons people put off grad school—being too busy, unsure of the benefits, or thinking they’ll do it “someday.” Our message: “Own the Now.”

From Someday to Today

We brought the idea to life with an on-campus shoot, interviewing real TU grad students about their experiences. Across the board, they highlighted the school’s flexibility, strong mentorship, and real-world opportunities. As the foundation of our campaign, these testimonials appeared in video and display ads across Google, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and high-visibility email placements in The Baltimore Banner and The Washington Post. The result was a campaign that not only resonated but also won an Addy.
