young homeless for more than 30 years.

4. Campaign Goals
● Create awareness of youth homelessness in Ireland.
● Highlight the problems faced by children, teenagers and young people
facing homelessness.
● Recognise hidden homelessness, which not always counted in the
annual census.
● To encourage people to donate to the Peter McVerry trust, emphasising
the importance of the work the charity does.
● Raise awareness across social media.
5. Target Audience
● Male and females in Dublin City aged 18-35.
● Same demographic but all over Ireland via social media.
● Secondary target market of males and females aged 35-50.
(parents, aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents)
● DCU university societies who want to raise money and their charity
portfolios.
6. Strategy
● Meet with the trust to discuss marketing goals, target audience and
vision for the campaign.
● To create an Autumn/Winter print advertising campaign focused on
local magazines in Dublin city and Dublin City Transport and stops.
● Generate involvement from DCU Societies during the MPS 24 hour
broadcast.
● Create a campaign that is both moving and informative.
7. Scope
● A DCU student, Laura Horan, made a video last year about her
experience being homeless.
● The video gathered 43,245 views, and was widely circulated on
social media. Laura appeared on the Ray Darcy show discussing
what Peter McVerry has done for her.
● A student run 24-hour Broadcast will take place on the 2nd- 3rd of
December, all proceeds will go towards the Peter McVerry Trust.
● The Images from our campaign will be included in the broadcast.
● The high profile of the Peter McVerry on student campus’
represents the vast scope and relevance of this campaign.
15. Colour grading
● The images are intended to portray reality through exaggeration
such as the image ‘admit i exist’ in our Style inspiration slide.
● In order to portray the dreaminess in the image we chose to create a
desaturated background with selected pieces remaining vibrant.
● We made an effort to stick to Peter McVerry’s colour scheme of
blues, whites and greys in order to insure our campaign fits into
existing work done by the trust.
17. Typography
● The typography used by the Peter McVerry Trust is Arial.
● In our development of a slogan we insured to use Arial to create
coherency to the widely known brand logo.
● Our intention is that our campaign will fit flawlessly into previous
campaigns done by the trust itself.
