Directed by Melle Branson through Truce.
The Australian Institute of Music (AIM) is celebrating the institute’s singular, almost 60-year dedication to music in a campaign via Fenton Stephens.
In a tertiary education market increasingly full of creative generalists, 'Only Music' highlights AIM's undivided focus and deep industry expertise.
“Only Music is who we are as an institution - it's the reason we get up in the morning and a platform we can authentically own. We understand how music students feel,” said AIM chief marketing officer, Chris Parkes.
“We see them, we hear them, and we’re positioning ourselves as the only place to turn their passion into a profession.”
The platform launches with a film, 'Escape the Noise', following a young music lover as she grapples with the noise of everyday life - the competing career advice, the well-meaning parents, the side-hustle sages and self-made millionaires clogging social feeds - before finding clarity and belonging at AIM.
The film was directed by Melle Branson through Truce and supported by social and outdoor.
“No-one suddenly wakes up one morning and decides that the music life is the one for them. Music in their very DNA,” said Fenton Stephens chief creative officer, Alex Fenton.
“Music is their truth, what they eat, sleep, and breathe. And only music can fulfil them.”
