I think LSU's marketing problem stems from a refusal to embrace what LSU really is. Instead of catchy commercials, why not just tell people what the school excels at? For example, LSU has one of the top-rated Landscape Architecture programs in the entire country - ever hear anything about that?

I think last year was a better one. The catch phrase they use and know they portray it is cheesy. Really weak considering that they have one of the best business schools in the country, must be lacking in the marketing department

um yes, actually. They mentioned it in a commercial from two or three years ago. It's the quality of the ads that suck.

They have two commercials this year. Here's the second one. LINK

Better than the first one, but they need to focus more on the whole overall experience, than just the "purple and gold.

and then watch ours which was linked in the OP and then try to figure out which school actually hired a good marketing firm to make their ad

This is the gold standard of college commercials.

Texas

It's sad really. LSU has such a great story to tell. But year after year their commercials are hot garbage.

UT has the top Ad program in the country. And they still hired an agency. LSU needs to do the same.

Is this the same marketers that brought us such greats as:

The odd small font in the endzones

The oversized pictures on the side of the PMAC

Eye of the Tiger in the middle of the field

Ellis Hugh

and last but certainly not least


TOONCES





If the answer is yes on more than one of the above then they should be fired, stood next to a beehive with honey poured over their bodies, and shipped to Cuba wearing American Flag underwear.

Aren't the commercials supposed to attract people to your school? How about this for a theme:

Get drunk; Get laid; Graduate; Get Paid!

Hell, 1 out of 4 ain't bad!...LSU
