St. John's Public Service Announcement

Better than the old commercial but it is still brutal compared to other schools.

Agreed. Improved, but still pretty bad. Not professional enough IMO. Our old one looked like it was from 1990 the way the kids were dressed. Who puts a kid wearing a skull cap and overalls (I think they were) along with another kid clowning around in a commercial advertising a university?
 
I thought concentrating on our BB team while showing academic successes was a good approach. Cutting the mascot's face time by 90% would improve things, IMHO.
 
The count down idea is stupid IMO. This commercial screams: "we are a basketball school first and foremost". By all means include references to the basketball team, but don't make it the central theme. We have a gorgeous campus that wasn't utilized at all, the NYC skyline has so much visual pleasure and significance yet wasn't utilized, and I know this seems shallow, but I would have had people in suits, highlighted our Law and Pharmacy programs as among the best in the nation, mentioned where alumni were employed, and then at the end mentioned the basketball accolades. I liked the quotes in the beginning like Fullbright Scholars, but the commercial could have been much better IMO.

Cutting my FaceTime in the commercial probably wouldn't hurt either haha. But seriously, bragging about being one of the Top 370 schools in the country is weak.
