Great Social Media Idea: A Tasty Video from Webster

Great Social Media Idea: A Tasty Video from Webster

Did everyone survive the Game of Thrones premiere? Yes? Glad to hear it! Unless you're Ramsay Bolton, in which case... isn't it time you went along your merry way? Never thought someone could make me miss Joffrey. 

ANYWAY... it's Monday, which means I've got a tasty video for you, courtesy of the clever folks at Webster University:

Modeled after the ridiculously popular Buzzfeed Tasty videos, this quick and fun video blew up Webster's Facebook page with lots of views and shares.

Copying a well-known style can be a bit of a dicey situation - you face the dual risk of possibly feeling trite or of doing a poorly executed imitation - but when done with confidence and aplomb it, as it was in Webster's case, it can lead to really great success.

I particularly love the creative use of all the props, from (what I assume is) dollhouse furniture to coffee beans. And the reveal of the diploma? A perfect ending. Easy, breezy, beautiful #hesm content.

Great job, Webster! And thanks to Jen Starkey for sending this in to me... four months ago. (Whoops!)
