Success stories of graduate mums form the centrepiece of a new brand campaign from online education provider Open Colleges.

The Find Your Awesome platform, developed by creative agency YOLO and media agency Bohemia, along with in-house staff, is aimed at demystifying the experience of studying online.

An online video features her family throwing her a surprise party to celebrate her graduation.
