Monash University launches new documentary series ‘A Different Lens’ via Y&R Melbourne
Monash University and Y&R Melbourne have created a five-part documentary series entitled, ‘A Different Lens’. The series, geared towards future staff, postgraduates and industry leaders, interrogates the world’s most pressing issues through the eyes of Monash experts and thought leaders.
The first episode, ‘An Automated World’, investigates the impact of robots and artificial intelligence from
disciplines as varied as business, philosophy, I.T., and the arts.
Says Caroline Knowles, director of campaign management, Monash University: “A Different Lens allows us to talk about global issues from different academic perspectives,
demonstrating the depth of experience and expertise students and staff are exposed to at Monash.”
Says James Wills, creative director, Y&R Melbourne: “The world’s most pressing issues deserve more than a news headline or quick soundbite. A Different Lens provides an insight into how the brightest minds at Monash understand
these issues and relate them to the future of industry and society.”
Future episodes will examine neuroethics, populism, terrorism and sustainability, and will be released in the coming weeks across various channels, including Monash University’s Content

Great work, Griffo.
actually some content that’s compelling enough to watch more than the first two minutes. Nice one.
Tidy. Really dig the transition titles too.
Content. When well produced, with an idea, and a story can actually be good… nice one!
Is it a documentary or marketing?
This is quality work. Justifiable content!
Great to see Pops Griffin back in the Director’s chair.
Wins on all fronts. The titles, the idea, the production quality and it held my attention the whole time.
This is what content should be…..
Nice idea, but I can’t agree with anyone above me (Monash alum maybe?). I’m always intrigued by Uni marketing but this is one of the most disjointed efforts I’ve seen. How many brand campaigns have these guys run recently? This is clearly an effort to jump on the uni content marketing bandwagon pioneered by Melbourne, Deakin, and even LaTrobe.
I mean, the title card has 11 different topics on it! Confusing. How about a bespoke title card for each video guys? I expect better from the usually excellent Jumbla. Disappointing.
