I love the #choosechoate campaign. The “show us your socks” is a very cute idea and really gives admitted students that school spirit feeling. They also feel like they are a part of something before they are even attending.
Personable and fun.

Exceptionally well planned and executed; varied content, strong visuals, a storyline, a budget. It does feel commercial — could the same treatment be applied to a luxury car ? — but the presentation is undeniably sophisticated and professional.
Very high production quality and good campaign vision.

SAMPLE JUDGES' COMMENTS
I like how this campaign focuses on a group of real people who reflect the values and personality of the school. These women seem genuine, warm, committed, and fun loving. The photography is engaging and captures friendship and humor. The copy contains information, it's not just marketing. The campaign has an immediacy that works really well on social media, but clearly some careful planning went into the execution. The posts pulled me in and made me interested in the school.
