UTS Business School partners with Affinity to launch campaign showcasing impact of business

UTS Business School has partnered with Affinity to launch a new campaign highlighting how business can positively contribute to the world.

‘This is your business’ reinforces UTS’ credentials as a forward-looking and socially committed business school focused on producing responsible business leaders who will not only make a meaningful societal impact but can change the whole way that business operates.

Professor Carl Rhodes, Dean of UTS Business School, said: “For too long, business schools have been flag bearers to the most rapacious approaches to capitalism. It is time that changed.”

UTS’s provocative campaign is already accelerating the recruitment of a new breed of business leader by encouraging prospective students to reframe their view of UTS, and in turn, reassess the social impact they could be making through their chosen career in business.

“We’re incredibly excited to launch this campaign and how it reflects the way UTS Business School thinks and operates. The research and work we do is genuinely exciting and leads to material positive improvements to people’s lives,” Rhodes continued.

“It has been a pleasure working with Affinity on this campaign platform. Their rigorous strategic approach helped us articulate the real problems we needed to address, and the resulting work will no doubt disrupt the category in a positive way.”

“It’s not often you work with clients who truly want to change a category with courageous work. And fewer still have the resolve to fight for the work to keep the integrity of it intact,” Affinity’s executive creative director, Vaughan Townsend, said.

“So, it was a rare pleasure to collaborate with the UTS on this campaign. We hope it attracts and produces the leaders who will make a measurable difference to society.”

Affinity’s CEO Luke Brown added: “Traditional agency processes and models can often struggle to accelerate business change because the agency often doesn’t have agency. And too often, agencies don’t have any influence over the real problems to be addressed.

“Our working model is focussed on delivering business change and growth, not outputs. So, it’s been deeply satisfying for our team to have worked closely with UTS to help realise the change so needed in the business world.”
