FEEDING STUDENTS HEAD WITH ENTERTAINMENT AND FOOD!

Comcast needed an upgrade to their college marketing initiatives. Previous marketing attempted to reflect the anxieties college freshmen were facing. They were hungry, and in fear of missing out.

Feeding their head with entertainment and free food

We were able to position Comcast as a brand to “satisfy the hunger” of students, not by just marketing to them with printed collateral and offers but a 360 degree campaign that engaged with them at their new off-campus homes.

A “Comcast: Feed Your Head” team was deployed to big college campuses with street teams armed with giant pixie sticks. Brand ambassadors wheeled around campus on trikes while wearing Brain Helmets. They delivered the promise that Comcast will feed your head with cable, internet and food, giving them instant gratification—much like the Comcast service offerings

ART DIRECTION

The design of the campaign featured an illustration of a moody and animated brain that reflected the anxieties of college students with lines like “feed me, I’m hungry”, “I’m freaking starving” setting up Comcast as a hero and relatable to students.
