Project Overview
Transforming First Impressions
Makeway worked with Indiana University Bloomington to reinvent the in-room campus visit presentation for prospective students. The result was a dynamic, branded, and CMS-powered experience that supports presenters, improves accessibility, and delivers a high-impact first impression—all within a single-PC setup.
Core Components
Custom-designed visual storytelling and motion graphics
To align with IU’s “Bring on Tomorrow” campaign, Makeway created a suite of visuals, animations, and transitions that elevated IU’s message and brought campus life to the forefront. The result provided the IU Admissions Team with a professional, emotional, and memorable narrative that enhances IU’s reputation from the first visit.
Impact + Results
The pilot implementation showed overwhelmingly positive outcomes.
Impact and results
Delivering a professional-grade campus experience that scales
IU’s admissions team can now run a professional, brand-forward campus presentation that:
- Is accessible to all visitors
- Is consistent across presenters
- Can be updated instantly
- Requires minimal tech maintenance
The solution reduced AV complexity from 3 PCs to 1, while gaining remote support capabilities and extending hardware lifecycle. Content is now integrated, intuitive, and inspiring
The Makeway team understood the mission to create a visit presentation that went beyond simply informational, but also engaged students and their families in a unique and meaningful experience. It consistently receives high praise from campus visitors.
