Second Assignment – Building A
Solid Grasp About The Campaigns.
AD/PR LAB- 4th SEMESTER
PROFESSOR: BETTY TSAKARESTOU
This second assignment of our lab course addresses the structure, the strategy, the framework, the communicative skills, the creative elements that are employed to design a state-of-the-art and inspirational campaign.
What you are called to do is to do some research about an international creative campaign and elaborate on some of its basic aspects.
When evaluating and assessing the campaign- take for granted that you will choose a successful and with a great impact one-, try to consider some basic points.
To be helped, we have below a list of them:
-What’s the story of the campaign?
-How it is addresses?
-You can also provide links that enrich the thematic section (the theme, actually) that the campaign addresses. Also links that support the campaign’s image, the idea behind or just give additional information.
Note also, that the campaign can be for whatever theme you would like and its source is free too: from course media, online and offline, from the road billboards, from everywhere, indeed. In this way, we can actually see how the concept of campaign opens and concerns not only the branding players..
At the class we already referred two striking examples: trafficking-human slavery etc.
Note2:
Which campaign is considered “creative” and successful?
Here is a tip that can help you:

"Building A Solid Grasp About The Campaigns"
- A campaign is successful when it epitomizes the new era of communication and adverising;
-is authentic
-is transcendent
is a storytelling work of art that get people talking and become part of a culture.
- It is not just being recalled or remembered, but hitting a nerve and becoming both shar-worthy and meaningful.
- It gives a visceral(but not overly sentimantal) reaction. It strikes, namely, a chord emotionally with the audience.
- It is credibly tied into the corporation's distict brand DNA. (Thus, at the same time the campaign manages to strengthen and empower its brand position and provide customers with a sense of consistensy.)
- It has a curating content.
- It is a work that inspires,strikes an emotional chord of truth and wants to be shared on social networks and still talked about everywhere (Word of Mouth).
