Everything is Possible: Public School Pride

Entered in Education

Objectives

Over a year in, our “Everything’s Possible” campaign is going strong. Designed to change perception and encourage engagement among all target audiences, Stoltz' strategy supports everything that makes Boise Schools stand out, ties in seamlessly with the District’s mission statement of “Educating Today for a Better Tomorrow,” and serves as a platform for the really good stuff – endless faces and stories of students and teachers.

Strategy and Execution

As Boise continues to grow, parents face an ever-increasing number of educational choices, including charter schools, private schools, homeschooling, and online options.

While the Boise School District remains the primary school choice for the vast majority of our current and future parents, the ongoing efforts by the charter school movement (which absorbed most of Idaho’s K-12 growth in 20-21), voucher supporters, and State legislatures across the country continue to chip away at the confidence in traditional public schools, as well as pose serious funding threats.

Throughout the school year, our production crew visited a dozen schools to capture custom photography and video to fulfill the content needs of the campaign, which included hundred of organic social posts, hyper-targeted digital and social media ads, and the inaugural TV spot.
