The next KU commercial?

We take a bit of a RadioShack approach to blogging here. You’ve got questions, we’ve got answers.Colleague, blogger and boss Joel Mathis found some interesting videos using the new Truveo video search engine.The videos purport to be concepts for a new KU advertising campaign. Here’s one:

A little digging led us to this Web site, and to a phone number for the director.A quick call later and we reached Jeremy Riggs, a KU student who works for the school’s Office of University Relations. Riggs said that he did these last year with the support of university relations, but mostly of his own initiative.”It was all my idea. They supported me doing it, but I really had to do the work to push it through,” he said.No word yet from University Relations on whether any of these commercials have any future.UPDATE: Perhaps not. Several hours after this post went up, the videos were pulled from YouTube. target=”_blank” style=”font-family:Arial; font-size:9px; font-weight:100; color:#C7D8E7;line-height:14px; text-decoration:none; letter-spacing:0.1em;
