the road ahead billboards


the concept...

The Lord of the Rings–inspired campaign transforms the student journey into an epic adventure. By using iconic references the billboards frame Anderson University as the place where students begin their own heroic story. Each execution pairs a bold, minimalist design with adventurous headlines that echo Tolkien’s world while staying fresh and approachable. The campaign feels epic yet inviting, sparking imagination and positioning the university as the gateway to the next great journey.

This was a very early concept that did not make it to a finished stage. Read below to see program specific messaging.
