Creating High-Impact Education Advertising Videos for Universities across Hampshire and the UK
We work with a number of universities across the UK to produce high-quality education advertising videos that support their marketing, recruitment, and admissions teams. These videos are designed to attract prospective students, showcase campus life, and promote key initiatives such as Clearing, Open Days, and course enrolment periods.
One of our recent projects was a fast-turnaround, 40-second education advertising video for Solent University, developed specifically to support their Clearing campaign. This short-form commercial was created to run on ALL4, Channel 4’s on-demand digital TV platform, and was also strategically repurposed for multiple social media platforms, including Instagram, YouTube, Twitter, and TikTok. The goal was to reach a wide and diverse student audience where they spend most of their time, online and on the move.
From Concept to Broadcast in Record Time
Solent University approached us with a brief to produce a compelling and student-focused Clearing campaign video that would cut through the digital noise and deliver impact across channels. From the outset, we took full ownership of the creative and production process. Our team developed the campaign concept, created an engaging storyboard, sourced a diverse group of student-aged actors, and selected a professional voice-over artist to give the final video an approachable, energetic tone.
The production phase took place over just two days, using our experienced and agile film crew, who are well-versed in education sector shoots. We made use of on-campus and city locations in Southampton, Hampshire to ground the content in the authentic Solent University student experience. Our team captured dynamic footage tailored to resonate with prospective applicants who may be considering their university options at the last minute.
Full-Service Video Production for Higher Education Marketing
We pride ourselves on offering a complete, end-to-end service for university video production across Hampshire. For this project, we handled all post-production in-house, including editing, colour grading, audio mixing, and subtitling for accessibility and social media optimisation. The final deliverables were turned around in under a week, a testament to our streamlined workflow and deep understanding of the higher education marketing cycle.
The final education advertising video has become a key asset in Solent University’s Clearing campaign, used not only for digital advertising but also as supporting content in paid social campaigns, website banners, and admissions outreach. This is one of several projects we’ve delivered for Solent University over the last few years, building a strong collaborative relationship based on trust, creativity, and measurable results.
Why Education Advertising Videos Matter
In today’s competitive higher education environment, standing out in the digital space is more important than ever. Attention spans are short, application windows are narrowing, and students have a huge range of options available to them. A well-crafted university marketing video doesn’t just inform, it inspires. It helps students visualise themselves on campus, connect emotionally with a university’s values, and take action.
Whether it’s a bold TV ad, a TikTok-ready vertical video, or a longer-form explainer for YouTube, our work is always tailored to platform-specific best practices and audience behaviours. From student recruitment videos to campus lifestyle promos, we specialise in helping universities tell their stories through video, with clarity, creativity, and impact.
