With the state law changed to only show finalists will the pool change? legacy? Well I drive by a lot of his legacy every day in the cities, the amount of promotion they have done down here is amazing. When I first moved down there 2 years ago there was barely anything! Funny what happens when you get $$$ to advertise (which they got ripped for) He’s better than Kelley and it’s not even close. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krustyklown Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Twin Cities metro-area advertising has ebbed and flowed over the past ten years, per my observations, which is mostly billboard advertising. Prior to the mid-2000s, there wasn't much of that going on, if I remember correctly, but of course my memory is not what it used to be. The content has varied too, sometimes touting some media ranking, aviation or general do-gooder displays. During the years 2011 - 2015, there seemed to be a lot of billboard advertising, but gradually dropped off. That method was not as prevalent until recently, fall of last year it seemed to pick up again along the metro highways. There has never been much of a TV presence for UND here in the Cities, unless you are watching a game on CBSSN or Fox College Sports cable channels. NDSU seems to have continually had a small TV advertising presence over the last bit of time here on a variety of channels, perhaps a decade?

As another poster noted, there was a continuous presence especially in the later years of Kelley's tenure. And I personally have seen the I-94 billboard and Target Field ads for years. Kelley-bashing for advertising seems kind of pathetic, unless you have data to back it up. Show us the year-to-year expenditures and the results. It's public record, I'm sure. Besides, how effective is any kind of advertising for college-bound students? Has UND enrollment from the TC even varied that much? For my money, I'd rather buy the guidance counselors at top area high schools a weekly dinner at Ruth's Chris...that's going to have as much impact as anything. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will they demolish the campus to achieve there goal of SU 25000? I don't know what some on this board are looking at to me it's clear that's where we're headed. Right or wrong that's what I see.

Twin Cities advertising for UND was poor during Kelley years. Period. NDSU presence far outweighed that of UND during said timeframe. Perhaps still does but at least closer now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The political party that has been in power the last 15 years in ND gets a pass on everything. No questions asked. Democrates may govern bad in many people's opinion on this board but doing this to UND no. If Mac Schneider was in control of the $ very little of what has gone on at UND would have happened.

UND-FB-FAN Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 10 hours ago, Cratter said: That data is quite difficult to come across, as far as directly comparing advertising. When it comes to such advertising, what folks gather by just being present is about as good of a measure as any; they are directly observing the very metric set out by the advertising itself. Marketing/advertising goes well beyond the expenditures; strategy and effort makes a tremendous difference. To "call BS" on something of that sort is perhaps unfounded criticism. NDSU has outdone UND in terms of marketing and enrollment during the past decade, hands down. It may hurt for some, but bite the bullet and admit the facts.
