Football fans who tuned in to ESPN to watch the ÃŞ»¨ÌÇÖ±²¥ Ragin’ Cajuns compete this fall were treated to some lagniappe.
The network aired a 30-second spot during the Cajuns’ televised games that ÃŞ»¨ÌÇÖ±²¥s UL Lafayette students. After a casting call this summer, six students landed speaking roles: Brooks Haack, Charliese West, Cris Matochi, Morgan Meaux, Evan Melancon, and Alexandria Green. About a dozen “extras†got some screen time, too.
“The video captures who we are as a university. Engaging graphics and text make it stand apart from other university videos,†said Aaron Martin, director of Communications and Marketing at the University. “It’s a strong reflection of our brand, and the energy of our students.â€
The University partnered with Holbrook Media and The Colony for filming and production assistance. Anyone who missed the ESPN broadcasts can watch the “This is Your Time†spot at admissions.louisiana.edu.
