National advertising campaign
UC Davis launched a national advertising campaign in 2016 to showcase our role in protecting and enhancing quality of life for all living things. Our overarching goal is to increase awareness of the impact and value of UC Davis’ research and educational opportunities with our target audiences. The messaging format (You/We) demonstrates how individual people benefit every day from our collaborative problem-solving in the areas of food energy, health, education and the environment as well as arts and culture.
Campaign narrative
We all want a world where life is healthier, sustainable, safer and more enjoyable. UC Davis is helping us get there with innovations that translate to real-world changes. A breakthrough treatment, a more meaningful experience, a better way to learn — each has the power to improve our quality of life, and to give us hope. That’s a world transformed.
