Promoting Trinity on Youtube

drogbaa

Hiya,

I know UCD used advert banners on Youtube to promote the Horizins programme. DIT have just put up this video to promote student activities there.

Edit: Just learned how to embed these things:

There's more videos on www.dit.ie/life

Has Trinity done anything similar? Is it a good idea?

If they do, I hope they find a better music-images match. The song doesn't suit what's going on at all!

College has these podcasts, however.

Knowing myself in my impressionable years, a video like that would certainly have made me think about going to DIT. I noticed that Trinity tend not to advertise in any similar fashion. Do they really need to? It's already the most popular college in the country.

And what soc/club goes and dives off the 40 foot? I do that off my own bat, but usually involves taking the morning off college to cure the hangover.

I often think that too. I think of what an advertising campaign for Trinity would be like: I have it all done out in my head. However, I then realise that it's not all necessary!

If El Heg D'John got his way, he'd get Trinity College blazed everywhere - on buses, at the DART stations, and even on women's breasts if he is to be believed.

Ok, I *may* be exaggerating slightly...

God, I expected her to breathe fire. Good old loudmouth-wolf-in-ugly-clothing. Bet she's a feminist because she's ugly. Wagon.

No its a bloody university...we dont need cheap crass classless advertisements with "clever" slogans like "think big...think TCD" or "your future starts here":rolleyes:


We are one of the most respected higher learning institutions in the world, lets leave the advertising well enough alone.

Have you seen www.myucd.ie

It's a different approach. They're obviously embracing the marketing thing - although they haven't started tattooing women's bosoms like the provost (yet).

Have a look on the UCD board for some comments on the people included in the UCD ads, including how truthful they are about the courses/years they are in.
