The Need

The University of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine has some of the finest researchers, resources and educators in the country. However, its national ranking wasn’t quite reflecting that. It was our job to rebrand the college and tell their story in a way that would help them crack the top-10 ranking of veterinary school in the nation.

Of course, we set out to do a little more than just that.

The Approach

We all know veterinarians as pet doctors. But as our research uncovered, UF vets also help protect our food supply and develop treatments in animals that translate to humans. Their eagerness to take on any challenge and question what’s accepted inspired the brand position: Challenge Accepted.

We concepted and produced an anthem video introducing the new Challenge Accepted brand position. It connected with donors, alumni and peer institution. It also garnered international marketing accolades, recognition from the American Association of Veterinary Medicine Colleges and was nominated for an Emmy Award.
