The Challenge

Creating high energy, social media video promoting Six Nations Polytechnic

  • Create watchable video

  • Film various classes and people

  • Deliver high-quality reel

The Six Nations Polytechnic contacted Purple Bean Media for two social media videos that will promote their school. They wanted high-energy, raw content that would catch someone’s eye as they scrolled through platforms or were researching for their secondary education, but also clearly showed what was to be offered at both locations.

The Process

Sherri and her team produced with a “boots-on-the-ground” mindset, working to produce content in an authentic way with high production value:

  • On-Campus Storytelling: We tagged along with student actors on the Brantford and Ohsweken campuses, capturing their experience as students – from group study sessions to hands-on learning in the labs.
  • An Aerial View: Sharing alumni funded professional drone footage, we brought perspective around campus to new heights. These shots were about scale and place, showcasing the facility and beautiful surroundings. 
  • Dual-Campus Features: We made sure to give equal shine to both Ohsweken and Branford locations, showing off the distinct programs and vibes that make each a special place.

The Results

The result was a final video campaign offering the Six Nations Polytechnic a weapon in their recruitment arsenal that resonated with their desired audience:

  • More Engagement: Moving away from static images and venturing more into high-definition video and drone work, Six Nations Polytechnic noticed a major lift in social media engagement and shares.
  • Represented a Reality: Potential students could visualize themselves in the “actors” (their peers), allowing them to imagine enrolling as an achievable and inviting reality.
  • Enrollment Driver: Videos were utilized as the linkage between the Six Nations Polytechnic introduction and the direct link to enrollment to their web portal with before-and-after snapshots showing how it hooked interests and drive-up traffic to the website and inquiries about the program.
