Leading-Edge Development Campaigns for Higher Ed Institutions
Funding is drying up. Costs are skyrocketing. Enrollment is down. And every university turns to the development professional and says, “We Need More.” This is something we hear over and over again.
At Slaine Hill, we’ve found the best way to help universities drive revenue is to create relevant content. Content-driven storytelling is the key to driving ROI from alumni and donors.

STORYTELLING FOR HIGHER ED
Slane Hill Creative
“Here, pilgrim, stop; rest on yonder monumental slab, beneath the shadow of that tall, ivy-mantled tower, the belfry of the cathedral–it once was gorgeous with the shrines of Fathers, and illumed by many a flickering taper, though now the hemlock fills its aisles, and the purple foxglove waves its lonely banneret. The ground whereon we stand is sacred,–consecrated by the foot-prints of our patron saint, hallowed by the dust of kings.”

I’ve Been There…
A live event is a bit like a beach ball. My team and I blow the thing up, bat it into the crowd and suddenly, it takes on a life of it’s own. Everyone hits it back and over and makes it their own.
I’ve been there, backstage at one of my programs where a young Beyonce’s belt buckle pops seconds before she is about to take the stage at a live televised event and she yells, “Sh*&&%%t!” She fixed it, took the stage, and absolutely killed it.
I’ve been in a Nairobi slum doing research for a project and barely getting out alive.
I’ve had hundreds of onlookers cheer a challenged athlete in his endeavor to complete a marathon on a skateboard, using only his towel bound hands to pump all 26 miles.
I’ve seen an audience of six thousand in tears following an emotional video I’ve just rolled.
I’ve had President Bill Clinton win over seven thousand hardcore republicans within the span of ten minutes, and have them cheering for the remainder of the hour.
It has truly been an odyssey, that has taken me all over the world, which is why I still love creating live experiences.
You learn something every…single…time.
What We Do
Creative Direction
The key to everything I’ve done in this work is concept driven creative direction. That’s all I know how to do. Once a solid creative direction is established, everything else just seems to fall into place and the concept just seems right.
Experiential
I’ve worked on every kind of live experience imaginable, from internal corporate programs, to product launches, user conferences, national tours, live televised events, concerts, high profile special events and more.
Digital Content
Film, video, animation and more, in support of a live experience, stand alone, on line and broadcast. I’ve done a broad spectrum of work and always try to do something different, fresh, unique and always, fun.
