When we debuted it to our president's administrative leadership team, and later with students, you could just feel the excitement in the room. The difference is night and day.

Online orientation is something campus leaders wanted students to feel excited about. They chose Advantage Design Group to produce it based on the company's reputation for professionalism and the recommendation from colleagues. After a flawless production experience, online orientation is today showing students the kind of quality experience students can expect.

"Having an online orientation in the age of COVID-19 was the best thing we could've done."

When The University of Tampa launched its online orientation, it became the university’s first Student Affairs hybrid program. The new student experience progressed seamlessly. Students and their families arrived on campus more confident and ready for a successful transition to college.

"My experience with Advantage Design Group was top-notch. We gave them a very aggressive timeline and I believe the system we designed was very complex. I'm more than happy with the final product. They exceeded my expectations and I believe that of the University as well."

They have other clients but you wouldn’t know it because they make you feel so special. Absolutely the best thing I have done as an orientation coordinator so far.

After researching several companies, Sonoma State University chose Advantage Design Group and was thrilled with their decision. They didn’t know what to expect when developing a new student online orientation and Advantage Design Group was informative, organized and ensured the entire process, from technical issues to videography, went smoothly. They brought a comfort level to the team that was unsurpassed.

"Advantage Design Group listened to our needs ... they have made our vision a reality."

Colorado State University was delivering online orientation as a course through Blackboard. It lacked the engaging aspects they wanted and the ability to provide assessment data, so they sought out Advantage Design Group to help. They found Advantage Design Group through NODA and were drawn in by their designs and organization. They appreciated Advantage Design Group’s listening to their needs, data access, and recommending specific techniques on how to interact with students. As far as competitors go …CSU says it wasn’t a hard decision to choose Advantage Design Group!

Just a quick note to say thank you for sending us such a fantastic crew. Bobby and Dustin are incredibly skilled professionals. Even more so, they are great people. They made us feel comfortable throughout the process, were patient when we worked through the inevitable bumps, and provided creativity, energy and inspiration when needed. It was also cool to have the grandson of an alumna be part of this project. Dustin shared that his grandmother graduated from the ‘Ville in 1929. During a short break, I was able to find a copy of the 1929 Touchstone Yearbook online and showed Dustin his grandmother’s yearbook entry. What a great experience!

"They understood the feel we were looking for and worked well with the talent."

"I would like to take a moment to say how amazing your video team was while they were on campus for the past three days. With rotating of our President’s schedule, to switching locations because of on-campus summer construction, to sprinklers that were causing some weird background noise, we could not have asked for a better team to represent Advantage Design. They were creative, professional, patient, kind and encouraging towards our talent who may have been more on the camera shy side (myself)"

"I wanted to let you know that the video shoot went very well. I must say that I was stressed and nervous about this whole project but Matthew’s expertise and professionalism gave me a tremendous amount of relief. He made all of the participants feel at ease. Everyone that assisted with the shoots really enjoyed working with him and Michael. I even jokingly told him that I was coming to work with ADG to be his assistant because of his demeanor and way of making everyone feel comfortable."
