Role: Creative Lead, Videographer and Editor
Everyone tries to do something unique on signing day. This season, our Baylor creative staff took it a step further. Before our brainstorming session, we set a few rules:
1. No "no's"
2. No excuses for why we couldn't do something
3. Craziest idea wins
The puppets started as a joke and in the end, the craziest idea did win. In all reality, the idea wasn't that crazy. Without giving out all our secrets, we had a strong strategy and reasoning that supported the idea.
Inspired by famous ventriloquist and Baylor alumnus Jeff Dunham, the Baylor puppets were a massive success. Our campaign received national attention with more than 1.5 million impressions on National Signing Day.
