Drexel University Names LevLane Media AOR

Drexel University has selected LevLane as its media AOR following a two-month review. The incumbent MayoSeitz Media did not compete. 

Creative duties remain in-house.  

LevLane will oversee media buying and planning duties for the Philadelphia-based private university, as well as its sibling institution Academy of Natural Sciences Museum.

The Philadelphia-based agency will assume duties on $1.7 million account this week.  

Anticipated media placements -- both online and off-line -- will target high-school students and their parents, primarily in the Philadelphia region, and, for the museum, Philadelphia-bound visitors and tourists. 

Selection was managed by executive director, marketing and digital strategy, university communications, Joseph Wilson, and was based on LevLane’s credentials, experience in the higher-education sector, and on its demonstrated capabilities in the use of analytics to evaluate media ROI, they say.
