Football fans who tuned in to ESPN to watch the Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns compete this fall were treated to some lagniappe.
The network aired a 30-second spot during the Cajuns’ televised games that features 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 Դ. “It’s a strong reflection of our brand, and the energy of our students.”
The Դ 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.
