Deakin University has unveiled its new philanthropic and engagement platform, ‘Together’, marking the university’s first dedicated campaign to mobilise its community of supporters towards meaningful impact.
Developed by creative marketing agency Three Scoops, a Jaywing agency, Together represents unity, purpose and collective impact, and the idea that “Together, we’re making the wonderful possible.”
Deakin University is one of Australia’s most progressive universities, with a reputation for both excellence in education that leads to employability and research that has a positive real-world impact.
Appointed following a competitive pitch, Three Scoops led the strategic positioning and creative execution for the campaign, which aims to raise $150 million and engage 150,000 alumni by 2030, growing Deakin’s local, national, and global community of supporters.
Three Scoops developed a brand film, managed design, UX and UI for the dedicated Together website, and created social, digital and print advertising assets. The rollout will also include local area marketing and on-campus activation.
“Together, provides the perfect opportunity to build a platform that reflects the progressive spirit of Deakin University. Our goal was to create a platform that inspires action, resonates with alumni, and communicates the university’s ambition to make a lasting difference,” said Lachlan Ryan, head of brand and creative at Three Scoops.
“Every piece, from the brand film to social and digital content, was crafted to embody the idea of shared purpose and collective impact.”
“Together is a call to our community to imagine what’s possible and make it real. By connecting alumni, volunteers, and supporters with our vision for an equitable and sustainable world, we aim to unlock doors for students, accelerate discoveries, and amplify the impact of our research,” added Anna O’Donnell, acting chief advancement officer, Deakin University.
“This campaign embodies Deakin’s commitment to creating positive change and demonstrates how our community can come together to make the wonderful possible.”
