A higher number of first preferences leads to a higher number of enrolments, and therefore funding. Research showed that Flinders graduates identified the university’s point of difference as the personal attention from academic staff, the opportunity for one to one consultation and the general feelings of the Uni being invested in outcomes for students. Our messages were positive affirmations focused on the individual in a coming of age campaign: “Your time to shine”, “We believe in you” and “Choose what’s best for you”. They tell the reader that the institution is confident in producing results for students. Parents would also see the postgraduate advertising in the same publication that says, “We share your ambition”, further emphasizing the focus on results. Flinders had a 10% increase in first preferences in 2010 resulting in significantly higher enrolments than budgeted and exceptional ROI. In particular, Flinders enjoyed a 33% increase in first preferences from school leavers, a demographic notoriously hard to reach. In just two years Flinders University has increase market share by 3.5%.   --- ###### [WHITE RIBBON ACCREDITATION](https://www.showpony.com.au/news/white-ribbon-accreditation) [![](https://www.showpony.com.au/hubfs/images13.jpg) WHITE RIBBON ACCREDITATION October 27, 2024](https://www.showpony.com.au/news/white-ribbon-accreditation) [Showpony has gained White Ribbon accreditation.](https://www.showpony.com.au/news/white-ribbon-accreditation)[Read More](https://www.showpony.com.au/news/white-ribbon-accreditation) ###### [AADC AWARDS](https://www.showpony.com.au/news/aadc-awards) [![](https://www.showpony.com.au/hubfs/aadc-awards-2x.jpg) AADC AWARDS October 27, 2024](https://www.showpony.com.au/news/aadc-awards) [South Australian creative community rallies for sold-out 47th Annual AADC Awards, honouring local excellence and emerging talent.](https://www.showpony.com.au/news/aadc-awards)[Read More](https://www.showpony.com.au/news/aadc-awards) ###### [A Year in Tasmania](https://www.showpony.com.au/news/a-year-in-tasmania) [![](https://www.showpony.com.au/hubfs/SP_BRAND_TEMPLATE_EDM_AUG24_V1.jpg) A Year in Tasmania August 28, 2024](https://www.showpony.com.au/news/a-year-in-tasmania) [WE CAME DOWN FOR ADVERTISING…AND FOOD…AND WHISKY…](https://www.showpony.com.au/news/a-year-in-tasmania)[Read More](https://www.showpony.com.au/news/a-year-in-tasmania) ###### [National campaign to prevent vet suicide via Showpony](https://www.showpony.com.au/news/national-campaign-to-prevent-vet-suicide-via-showpony) [![](https://www.showpony.com.au/hubfs/sophies-legacy.jpeg) National campaign to prevent vet suicide via Showpony August 8, 2024](https://www.showpony.com.au/news/national-campaign-to-prevent-vet-suicide-via-showpony) [Veterinarians are four times more likely to die by suicide than the average person.
