2. Campaign Proposal - Product
Product
The advert campaign is aimed around fashion inside a charity shop. In the campaign, we have to choose a
charity we are associated with and will have to design various advertisements to correlate with the campaign.
For my campaign, my chosen charity is Cancer Research and since the campaign is revolved around fashion, it
will be aimed at younger people. It is aimed at this age range for a multitude of reasons combining things such
as social class and their need for clothing.
Advert Campaign for Charity shop with a focus on Fashion.

Notes;
The advert placements are also spread evenly to ensure the advert reaches everyone possible in the targeted audience.
3. Campaign Proposal – Target Audience
The campaign will cater to a younger audience rather than older one for a multitude of reasons.This is because the people
more likely to donate to a charity such as Cancer Research are people within this age range, 17-25, however this campaign is
good to make teenagers donate to the charity. The dominating gender in this campaign will most likely be female as
according to statistics, females are more likely to spend money shopping in things such as fashion, for this instance. Social
class will also be a major factor as some people may have more spare money to spend than other people. Seeing as the aim
for the campaign is for young, the social class of most people in this age range will be ranging from an E up to C1, anyone
above in B and A will most likely not be looking to purchase anything fashionable from a charity shop as they probably have
money to spend on more expensive attires. It is also important for the campaign to be targeted at people in a very specific
area in order to attract the audience to visit the store. If the store was placed within a popular area such as a rich location in
London, Mayfair for example, it would not attract many people as in that area people most likely have enough money to
spend on clothes and not have to look at purchasing any from a charity shop. However, if the shop was located in a village, or
nearby in a rural area, it would get more attention than it would in a rich area.
Notes:
The reason for the campaign being aimed at young people is due to the fact that people that are younger are more likely to
want clothes to wear during the summer. is no point in aiming the advert at toddlers due to them not having the money to
spend at a charity shop.
4. Campaign Proposal - Campaign Message
The overall campaign message is focused on being important and true to the cause
of the campaign. People buying the clothing should feel good about themselves
purchasing the clothes within the store as they will have donated to a good cause.
The slogan for the overall campaign is “A cost-effective cause” which gives the
impression that you are getting good quality fashion, but are also helping out an
important charity, which is a victory for both the customer and the charity.
Notes: This message that my campaign is proposing is that even though the price for the items within the campaign are
cheap, you are also helping for a good cause. So, basically, it is a win-win for everyone involved.
5. Campaign Proposal – Launch Date.
The launch date for the campaign will begin during the summer because it is apparent
according to statistics that many working people take long breaks during the summer
season which is a perfect gap for the charity to release a fashion campaign so that they can
have new clothes to wear for the summer.
However, each advert will need to be placed well at different dates to ensure the campaign
gets full exposure to its audience
The following dates are what my campaign schedule will follow:
• Advert 1 – 18th June
Advert 2 – 19th July
Advert 3 - 15th August
• All posters – 26th August
• Close of Campaign – 20th September
6. Campaign Proposal – Location of
Advertisements.
The adverts in the campaign will be presented in areas such as The
Golden Square in Warrington, The Trafford Centre in Manchester, and
the Bull Ring in Birmingham. The adverts are going to be presented in
these areas as they are full of people daily and this will attract very
specific members of the targeted audience, that being 17-25 year olds.
If the adverts were placed in areas such as a quiet village, the campaign
would get no attention and the campaign would be considerably
unsuccessful.. However, placing the adverts within large populated
shopping centres, they would gather attention of young people and
would make them more inclined to visit the charity shop's location.
7. Campaign Proposal – Legal and Ethical Issues.
In the entirety of the campaign, I must ensure that I do not use any copyrighted material unless I give the original artist/company full
credit. In order to make sure I do not use any copyrighted material in the adverts, I have made my models wear un-branded clothing
and have not used copyrighted materials within the advertisements.If I run into any copyright issues, this could potentially destroy my
adverts and could end its lifetime drastically. In the adverts, I must make sure that I do not produce any content that could potentially
harm someone’s overall livelihood and/or reputation. I must also ensure my adverts has no racial slurs, sexual hints or sexual insults.
It must also contain no attacks on religion, age or gender. The advertisements must also contain no targeting against people with
disability, or attacking someone due to their social class. Breaching any of these within my campaign would be known as Defamation
of Character. In order to make sure that I do not defame anyone within the advert or anyone the advert is aimed at, I have made sure
that the advertisements will not contain any negative insults, reputation ruining comments, racial slurs and sexual insults. I have also
ensured that no religious remarks are made in the adverts, and there is no attacks or deposition on people's ages or gender. I also
have made sure that people with disability are not deposed. I must also make no comments about people's social classes within the
campaign. Doing any of this would not only breach the Defamation Act, but would also be breaching the Equality Act which legally
protects people from discrimination.
I must make sure that there are no obscene images or content within my campaign, as this would be breaching the Obscenity law.
In order to make sure that I do not breach this law, I have made sure that the campaign contains nothing offensive and nothing
degrading to anyone
There must also be no use of intellectual copyright, all work used for the adverts must be from my own hand and mind. The adverts
must also not contain any scandalous advertisements as this would be bad for the advertisements reputation and could potentially
harm the sales of the advertisementsIn order to make sure that I have not used any intellectual copyright within any of my work, I
have created everything within the campaign myself and have used no copyrighted material from other sources. I must also not
mislead anyone within this campaign as this would be known as Scandalous Advertising and would breach the Code of Practice.

13. Plans for Advertisements - Slogan
“A cost-effective cause.”
This slogan gives true meaning to the campaign, and makes sense for the campaign
as it is a slogan for a charity shop, in this instance – Cancer Research UK. The slogan
will be used on every advert in the campaign to stick into the audience’s minds. In
each advert, it will be placed cleverly within the image to give the images depth,
which will also help to make the campaign stand out compared to others.
14. Plans for Advertisements – Typography.
• The font for the adverts will use the same font for the title to make the adverts stand out, but also
stay close to each other within the campaign so they do not detract from the main purpose of the
campaign.
• A font for the title, which fits in with the campaign theme I am going for, is called “Rockwell”
• E.G “CANCER RESEARCH SUMMER SALE!”
This font is compact, bold and has character which is important for the campaign as it stands out
to the audience.
• Another font for the title, which also stands out, is called “Verdana”
• E.G “CANCER RESEARCH SUMMER SALE!”
This font is simpler and much more simplistic than the Rockwell font, but it lacks depth which is
where the font Verdana falls short for the title.
• The overall font for the rest of the adverts’ information and prices will use different fonts to make
them unique and different.
15. Plans for Advertisements – Images.
• Each advert within the campaign will use a different type of image and pose for the
models to keep them unique and separate within the campaign.
• Image 1:
• In this image, the model will sport a confused, but cheerful look, the model will also be
posing with their hands in their pockets whilst looking at the camera.
• Image 2:
• In this image, the model will be sitting, but in a thinking pose, replicating the thinking
man statue for comedic value which will make the campaign memorable and will
therefore give people an incentive to visit the Cancer Research store local to them.
• Image 3:
• In this particular image, there will be one model standing outside of the Priestley
building showing that the campaign aimed at the model. The model will be looking
directly at the camera and smiling.
16. Plans for Advertisements – Colour Scheme
COLOUR SCHEME
The title will be in pure white with black outlines to help contrast with the
background. The prices that surround the adverts will also be white with no
outlines to make them stand out compared to the title of the advert.
