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 University. “It’s a strong reflection of our brand, and the energy of our students.”
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.
