Amazing Facts I & II:
We educate Minnesota. We make it work.

2004-2005

The Amazing Facts marketing campaign was designed to strengthen public understanding of how the system's 32 state colleges and universities dramatically improve the quality of life for individuals, communities and the state as a whole. The two Amazing Facts ad series complemented the system's "Degrees of Success: Making Minnesota Work" budget requests and were focused on creating public demand for stronger state support, in particular from the state's business leaders.
