Advertising Choices

Above the Line choices I'm going to use for my client:

Promotional video
This will be used to appeal to a wide selection of the target audience, as it will appear on platforms where a large audience will be likely to see it - VOD services such as Youtube, and on their website


Below the Line choices I'm going to use for my client:

Social media video and content
More personal and on a smaller scale than VOD, but can still apply to a smaller section of people who will use social media

Posters and flyers
Distributed to sports clubs and schools, so will be shown to a smaller audience as less people will be likely to see them


Tasks brainstorm:
Get permission from players
Plan the products - print (visualisation diagram), videos (shot ideas)
Make the products



Deadline for Stage 1

16th January 2017

Up to you what it consists of, but must be substantial enough to 'launch' the campaign

Identifying Target Audience

Based on the product I'm making and the talent of the advert - white, middle class, 14-16 year old, mainly girls, I think that this is my target audience. This is because the people who play rugby at this age are relatively new due to the growth of the sport, so they would likely be attracted to the sport more if they see an advert that promotes excitement, as it has similar themes to military adverts which promote similar themes, but to older males. So this could also be seen as being able to participate in an activity that they usually wouldn't be able to do - rugby which is seen as a male sport, and exciting things like the military, which don't promote women in their adverts.

And according to studies conducted by smh-insight.com, 21% of middle earners and 25% of high earners are interested in rugby, making this the most likely target audience. However, 19% of low earners are also interested, making them a possible target demographic as well, although to a lesser extent.
This website also found that only 14% of women in England have an interest in the sport, which identifies a target audience to promote to, in order to raise the number of female fans of the sport. 36% of women in Wales and 10% in Scotland also show interest in the sport, which suggests that Welsh women could be the audience to target, at least primarily.

LO2: Campaign Ideas

My brother is part of a drama club called Carney Academy. Advertising this campaign would mainly be via the internet, as the group is exclusively aimed at below 18 year olds, and the internet is where this demographic is often found.

The mediums I would use in the campaign would be:

Video - most likely distributed through Youtube or a website, it would include shots of their most impressive performances, their rehearsals, and interviews with some members, dubbed over the images in a voice over fashion.
Leaflets - distributed to theatres and cinemas, as well as and drama classes in schools, as the target audience of people interested in acting that are of the appropriate age.
The organisation already has a website, so making another would not be possible. However, implementing the adverting campaign into a part of the website, or even making it's own branch, would be useful in further informing the audience, as well as leading them to a location where all their questions could be answered.


Rugby. I was part of a rugby team up until last year, and my sister is now also playing the sport, giving me access to two potential teams to use in promotion. The methods of advertising would be almost identical to the previous option, the drama club, due to a similar audience and goal (recruitment via informing).

The promotion would include:

Video - again Youtube, as the teams I have access to are all under 18, so spreading the video on social media and VOD services such as Youtube would be effective as that is where the demographic frequents. The style the video would most likely be in the same fashion as the Army recruitment adverts, as they have a similar action-oriented theme, and I think it would convey the appropriate message to the audience. Interviews and quotes from players could also be added on top of the video.
Print - In the form of leaflets/ flyers and posters, to be distributed to schools and general sports clubs. These would follow a similar theme to Army promotional material, keeping with the video's theme for solid branding, to attract people from different sports, and kids that would fit the age demographic. Also, seeing the print material in addition to the video adverts would be effective as they compliment each other and spread an identical message.
Website - A place to host the videos and designs used for the print adverts, it would also be used as a basis for a social media campaign - by the website having social media accounts that link back to the original website. I would also see a Role Finder, similar to the British Army website's Role Finder, for people interested to explore the different parts of rugby. The whole interviews with players, which only part of would be included in the video, would be hosted here to be read by the audience.


The Leather Bags available can be advertised via numerous ways, these include:

Video - akin to average clothes adverts, they would feature the bag throughout the video, but would also have people modelling the bag and using them in situations that the audience would expect to be in, e.g. school etc.
Website - showing the details of the bag, uses, and hosts the videos made, which would be spread throughout social media but would originate at this website. Also showing pricing and the possibility to buy the bags.
