The Jumping Student : the inaugural set of branding advertisement that makes SMU unique
- Launched in 2002, The Jumping Student marked SMU’s first major advertising campaign and boldly introduced the message that “We’re different.” At the time, the University had begun its journey as a business school, hence, the tagline “SMU. We mean business.” The inaugural advertisement featured our students Mr Ng Peng Fong, Ms Marina Rumi Ibrahim and Ms Elsie Lin doing handstand, jumping and back bend respectively. The campaign stood out in the local tertiary landscape, as no other institution had previously undertaken such a striking branding effort. Earlier advertisements in the sector were largely informational. In contrast, SMU’s campaign featured a large, dynamic image of a student captured in bold pose, paired with a confident, attention-grabbing tagline. Running alongside the advertising campaign was a proactive media engagement strategy. The University regularly pitched student stories to the media—at least two each week—and invited journalists to experience the SMU difference firsthand by attending classes held in small, interactive classrooms. The campaign communicated SMU’s distinctive pedagogy, flexible curriculum, and broad-based educational approach, positioning the University as one that nurtured creative, confident, and articulate graduates. This messaging resonated strongly with the wider community, including employers, parents, and prospective students, who were excited by an approach that stood apart from traditional norms. It was the led by Ms Sharon Tan, who join SMU in 2002 as the Director, Corporate Communications. She played a key role in shaping the reputation and brand identity of the young university with the defining ‘SMU, we are Different’ campaign. The marketing campaign, together with a strong media strategy, successfully engaged key stakeholders of the university and cemented the bold and dynamic profile of the university.

We Are Different : the iconic branding advertisement that makes SMU unique
- Released in 2003, following the success of The Jumping Student marketing campaign, this series of advertisements presented perspectives from an industry partner (represented by Mr Tan Wah Yeow from KPMG), a faculty member (Professor Steven Miller), a current student (Ms Teo Su Phin), and an incoming student (Mr Cowan Phan). Through these varied viewpoints, the campaign highlighted SMU’s distinctiveness—particularly the attitudes of its students and the design of its curriculum—underscoring the University’s unique identity. For a young institution such as Singapore Management University (SMU), attracting the attention of prospective students and parents could no longer rely solely on academic reputation or heritage. Without a long institutional history to draw upon, SMU adopted bold advertising strategies and emphasised its distinctive American-style pedagogy to establish its brand. Within just three years, the University succeeded in building a strong and recognisable identity. Departing from conventional university branding that focused primarily on academic excellence, SMU positioned its students’ confidence, enthusiasm, and mindset as living testimonials of its educational approach. The creativity and freshness of the advertisements reflected SMU’s interactive and broad-based pedagogy, particularly its role in nurturing students’ self-confidence. The effectiveness of this branding strategy was evident in the strong response to the admissions exercise that year, with 5,800 applicants competing for 800 places.

Early adminission advertisment with unconventional highlights on SMU's unique and revolutionary education
- In this series of admissions advertisements launched by Singapore Management University (SMU) in 2003, prospective students are invited to embrace an unconventional, intriguing, and undaunted learning journey under the tagline “Experiencing the SMU Spirit.” Created to foreground what distinguished SMU from more traditional institutions, the campaign deliberately shifted attention away from the usual markers of university prestige—grades, rankings, and academic accolades—and toward something more immediate and human: the confidence, enthusiasm, and mindset of SMU students. In doing so, the students themselves became the campaign’s most compelling evidence of SMU’s unique and progressive educational approach. The advertisements also crystallised four core qualities the university sought to cultivate: a heart grounded in empathy and support for the less privileged; a deep appreciation for life; spirit and soul expressed through generosity and sharing; and passion that fuels persistence and achievement. These ideals were voiced through individual student testimonies as a vivid embodiment of the values the campaign championed — Ms Jenny Foo (Heart); Mr Tan Chee Wee (Life); Mr Joven Lai (Life); Mr Jeremy Nguee (Soul); Mr Richard Ho (Passion) and Johnny Tay (Passion).

Early adminission advertisment with unconventional highlights on SMU's unique and revolutionary education
- In 2004, Singapore Management University (SMU) unveiled a bold series of admission advertisements under the tagline “Get the SMU edge, make a difference.” Designed to spotlight what set the university apart, the campaign moved beyond traditional branding that typically highlights academic achievement alone. Instead, SMU positioned its students’ confidence, enthusiasm, and mindset as living testimonials of its unique and revolutionary educational approach. With a playful, contemporary visual style, the advertisements echoed SMU’s interactive, broad-based pedagogy and its emphasis on developing self-assured graduates. The campaign featured a range of testimonies, including students (Mr Lim Kong Wee and Mr Darren Lim), faculty (Prof Steven Miller), an industry partner (PricewaterhouseCoopers, represented by Deborah Ong), alumnus Tan Siang Leng, and even a proud parent—each captured in lively poses that reinforced the message of youthful ambition and possibility.
