“Working with Five Stone has been really great for us. After each session, our staff gets feedback from other staff members, and they have told us that people are impressed by the experience, they think that the videos are very well done, and they’re excited for the rest of the orientations. I would definitely recommend Five Stone Creative!”

University of North Texas
Each year, the University of North Texas welcomes thousands of incoming freshmen and transfer students through its orientation program. As student expectations continued to evolve, UNT sought to modernize the experience by creating a program that was more engaging, more visually dynamic, and better equipped to connect with today's students.
Five Stone Creative partnered with the university to reimagine orientation from both a creative and production perspective, helping transform a traditional information-driven program into a cohesive multimedia experience.
The Challenge
Student orientation serves a critical role in preparing incoming students for campus life, but maintaining attention during information-heavy presentations can be difficult. UNT wanted to deliver important academic and campus information in a format that felt energetic, relevant, and memorable while ensuring every orientation session remained consistent throughout the summer.
The university needed a creative partner capable of supporting both the strategic planning process and the technical production required to deliver the program at scale.
Our Approach
The partnership began with strategic consulting, working alongside university leadership to evaluate the existing orientation program and identify opportunities to improve student engagement through storytelling, presentation design, and multimedia content.
Five Stone Creative developed presentation graphics, scripted and produced a series of original videos, and integrated multimedia throughout the program to create a more engaging flow from session to session. Our team also provided full audiovisual production and event technology, ensuring each orientation maintained the same quality and consistency regardless of session.
By combining creative development with live event production, UNT was able to deliver a unified orientation experience that blended live presenters, video content, and presentation design into a single, cohesive program.
Impact
The redesigned orientation program created a more engaging introduction to campus life for incoming students while giving university staff a consistent, professionally produced platform for communicating essential information.
By integrating strategic planning, original video production, presentation design, and live event production, Five Stone Creative helped UNT deliver an orientation experience that informed students, strengthened engagement, and established a positive first impression of the university.
