"There is no way we could have achieved any of this without Oysterly Media"

Mel and the Oysterly team have put us on the world stage. I’m excited to share that the RMIT UP communications team has been shortlisted as a finalist in The PIEoneer Awards 2025 for Marketing Campaign of the Year!

Rather than focusing on ourselves, our short form videos celebrate the authentic experience of international students in Melbourne directly through their eyes, as Oysterly Media helped us work with our students to create the content. We also focused on Employee Generated Content (EGC) and featured our teachers authentically to support recruitment.

We currently have five videos with over a million views and are connecting with more of our audience every day. With Oysterly’s help, we grew from fewer than 90 followers to over 100k in just nine months. Success on TikTok is rare in our education sector, so we’re leaping ahead of competitors by building our brand authentically, with engagement and creativity led by young people. We then expanded these short-form videos onto our other social platforms. None of this would have been possible without Oysterly Media. They genuinely care about our success, are a pleasure to work with, and feel like true partners. I’m proud of the content we’re creating together and couldn’t recommend their services more highly.

“Thanks to Oysterly Media, we’ve reached an entirely new audience while consistently hitting our KPIs each month”

Standing out in the Australian supplement space is tough, given the strict advertising regulations and mature competitors with strong market share.

As a disruptor brand, we needed to find a way for Perdays to stand out from the rest and meet the next generation of VDS shoppers where they are searching. To achieve this, TikTok and short-form videos became a foundational tactic in our strategy, and Oysterly Media have been pivotal in us achieving our goals.

Mel and her team worked closely with us to understand the Perdays brand, consumer and our regulatory environment and built a great content strategy to grow our audience and brand equity on this emerging platform. Through an organic and paid approach, we have attracted a whole new audience to the brand and consistently achieved our KPIs each month.
