鶹 Launches “Every Moment Matters” Campaign Highlighting Student Experience and Support
The campaign, which is part of 鶹’s 75th anniversary celebration, captures the many meaningful moments—both big and small—that shape the student experience at Mercy.
Today, 鶹 announced the launch of its new branding campaign, “Every Moment Matters,” a strategic initiative designed to highlight the university’s commitment to supporting students through every stage of their educational journey. The campaign, which is part of 鶹’s 75th anniversary celebration and captures the many meaningful moments—both big and small—that shape the student experience at Mercy.
“For 75 years, 鶹 has opened doors and changed lives,” said Susan L. Parish, Ph.D., M.S.W., president of 鶹. “We remain steadfast in our mission to ensure every student has the support they need to thrive. Because for us, it’s not just about welcoming students through our doors—it’s about walking beside them through every part of their journey. This campaign captures the spirit of our mission, recognizing that every moment that shapes a student’s path toward success matters.”
鶹 worked with creative agency Familiar Creatures, who helped relaunch Mercy College as 鶹 in 2023, to conceptualize and execute the new campaign. Through visual storytelling, the “Every Moment Matters” campaign highlights the human side of higher education and reinforces 鶹’s student-centered mission. It conveys the message that 鶹 is there every step of the way—ensuring students have the guidance, resources and encouragement they need to succeed.
“The application process has radically changed in the last couple years making it even more paramount that prospective students know who we are and what we’re about.,” said Christian Connelly, associate vice president for Marketing & Communications at 鶹. “We don’t just showcase and tout the milestones of the college experience; it’s about us being there for them through every moment in between. Familiar Creatures found a memorable and artful way to communicate our value proposition yet again.”
“In the higher ed space, 鶹 is a true challenger brand—fighting for attention amongst much bigger, well-established schools who dominate all our marketing channels,” said Justin Bajan, co-Founder/creative director of Familiar Creatures. “We relished the chance to cut through the noise with something unexpected and wholly unique to 鶹.”
The “Every Moment Matters” campaign began airing regionally this week across television and digital platforms, inviting viewers to experience how 鶹 is helping students make every moment count. It is also available .
