University of Montana Western

Experience One Project

For this project, the client wanted showcase the impact that the Experience One program at University of Montana Western makes in the lives of the students. Coincidentally, they also wanted to celebrate the 20 year run of the program, with a look at what’s ahead.

The overall goal was to secure funding for the upcoming construction projects around campus that will start this spring. The approach was to create a series of videos that would focus on different aspects of the program. To achieve that, the project required multiple days of production and travel, interviewing UMW staff as well as current and former students.

The final deliverables were 5 videos that were premiered at the UMW Capital Campaign Gala on February 14, 2023, resulting an initial $600,000 raised at the event. At the time of this writing, the project has procured over $11.8M in funding.
