Boise State's 'Out of the Blue' marketing campaign rolls out nationally – uat vcastapi

Boise State University’s new brand-level marketing campaign is gaining visibility in the community, in Idaho and soon, across the nation.
The Out of the Blue campaign is anchored by a new television commercial that will debut nationally on Saturday, Sept. 2 during ABC’s broadcast of the football game between Boise State and the University of Washington. The spot will air during national broadcasts all season at no charge to the university as part of the partnership between Boise State’s athletic conference and the broadcast networks.
The campaign is designed to demonstrate and amplify what innovation looks like at Boise State, how the university is positively impacting Idaho and how a unique Blue Turf Thinking mindset spans all academic areas while impacting student success. It hones in on the university’s unrelenting spirit and its bold and distinct vision for the future.
Four students and a faculty member were selected to participate in this initial rollout. Additional members of the campus community will be featured as brand “heroes” as the campaign expands in the months to come.
Meet the five Boise State people featured in the campaign and learn about their favorite moments of the video production.
Closed captions are available and a text transcript is provided in the Video Transcript section on this page.
New, large-scale marketing placements depicting the Out of the Blue campaign are in development and many are already installed, including at the Boise Airport, on the west side of Towers Residence Hall, street banners in downtown Boise and a new billboard on I-84 at the Broadway Exit.
The narrative for the Out of the Blue campaign is a work of strategy. It was informed and developed following extensive research and in-depth qualitative discovery over a period of several months in 2022. The campaign is part of a broader brand platform designed to align the Boise State community around core messages and cultural values – all that differentiate Boise State University in the marketplace.
We know changing the world doesn’t happen by chance. It comes out of the Blue.
