Instagram Reels featuring student testimonials and campaign stories averaged 27,000+ views per post and 3x higher engagement rates than static content.

LinkedIn videos, including the “Dean’s Excellence Fund” and student testimonials, contributed to an 18% quarterly increase in engagement, especially among alumni and prospective graduate students. The “Legislative Video – David Arnold” supported targeted communication with public officials and stakeholders, expanding UF Engineering’s voice in statewide policy and funding conversations.

Video integration across key landing pages increased average time on page by 42% and drove a 19% higher inquiry conversion rate. Open house and event signups promoted with SCAD-produced video content saw a 32% increase in attendance.

Videos have been repurposed across development campaigns, state legislative sessions, admissions outreach, and public-facing presentations. UF central marketing continues to amplify this content through university-wide messaging efforts supporting STEM visibility, donor engagement, and institutional prestige.
