MARKETING AND PROMOTION
An anti-slavery campaign; Hope for justice,
created real life posters of victims who were
sold into slavery. This would draw people in
to read the poster as they would
automatically think of ‘12 years a slave’. This
advertises the film and the charity at the
same time although it benefits the charity
more.

MARKETING AND PROMOTION
This is a promotional advert in the metro
newspaper. This would have helped promote the
movie as the metro is free and morning
commuters pick p the newspaper to read on the
way to work on in their lunch breaks. The average
age of morning commuters is 20 – 40 not
including school children. Advertising in a busy
area can help advertise products a lot as more
people than average will look at posters and go
and see the film/buy the product.
