One designer, every piece of the account.

One designer, every piece of the account.

I was the sole designer on Canisius from 2022 to 2026. Their team shot the footage. I edited it into finished pieces, cut it down for paid social, and built a matching static for every platform each campaign ran on.

02

Three jobs for the edit

Same footage library, very different stories.

Same footage library, very different stories.

A recruitment spot and a student story each needed a different pace and structure. The recruitment spot moves quickly through a student's day in first person. The student story gives one voice room to talk. For Giving Day 2023, I updated the previous year's cut for the new campaign.

Recruitment · first person · 30s

Student story · one voice · 58s

Giving Day 2023 · updated from the 2022 cut · 54s

03

Cut down for every platform

Long-form footage, re-cut into 13-second spots.

Long-form footage, re-cut into 13-second spots.

For paid social, the same campus footage was cut into short spots for each placement, ending on one clear action. Every spot had a matching static, so the campaign held together wherever it ran.

Campus Visit retargeting, one static per placement.
