UCD Capstone Project -
Devised a marketing communications plan for a FMCG - chosen Durex targeted at the Singapore market in an estimated six-month campaign. Our overall marketing communications strategy and advertising collaterals designed specific to this IMC campaign has earned me and my team a distinction for our pitch.
10. Incorporating the CAN elements
Connectedness is going to be built through the flashmob
event.
Appropriateness is proved by the funny and meaningful
connection between the extra safe umbrella and the
Durex condom.
Novelty is presented by the unexpected, unique and fresh
idea of using extra safe umbrellas to represent Durex
condoms across all marketing communication tools.

now discussing how to start off so that it sounds fluid
cool :D let me know if you need anything, Im stilll at the hairdresser :)
cool, appreciate you being on task. its fine get yourself beautiful tmr and get the print ads ready.
i need you to do up the storyboard as well - including the narration (as you’ve seen from the other teams)
But you want me to do the backgrounds for the story board? Or what?
I’ve already done up the backgrounds of the storyboards sent it to Harmony. Please liase it with her? I am gettin’ the slides together
. someone needs to start on the storyboard, it has to be clear and easily understand from the instant
I can write the text on the backgrounds, or below the backgrounds, what is harmony doing then? okay i will contact her -- thanks get back to ya again
whichever you deem fit, that works well its fine with me. could you app her now cos im tryina’ save it in ppt. form - seems like we cant save it :( trying it out now
that would be so weird if we can’t save it….

MEL + PAULA - **emphasize on brand awareness not product benefits (because that is already fundamental)
babe, this is where we can demo the physical umbrella probably you holding the opened umbrella
QR code → lead users to video based on STORYBOARD
I WOULD SAY:
The slogan as everyone can see would be - “They keep you safe, we keep you EXTRA safe”. So why this slogan? Right, this is particularly because Durex has to eventually underline its functional benefit as a contraceptive product. The rationale behind the slogan is to contrast normal/typical umbrellas denoting other condom brands such as Espire and Okomoto, with the “Extra Safe” Durex umbrellas. This is aimed to achieve indirect comparisons alongside with its competitors.
Do notice that the shape of the umbrella is designed to act as a metaphor to the “condoms” as direct advertising of the physical product is banned for it is deemed as sexually explicit.
PAULA + MEL
hey Mel :) you can write here what would you like to say, and i will write what i want to say, so that we have a perception for tmr, b4 we start rehearsing
I will hold the umbrella while you go through the CAN elements? CAN - requires elaboration (i.e. how can connection be built through flashmob? i.e. direct interaction, touch emotions etc
ZORO (Emphasis on the new logo with the new slogan on top)

**Functional benefits + Symbolic benefits (PLEASE EMPHASIZE COS WE ARE DOING IT ON BRAND BENEFITS)
PAULA → **highlight to the audience that this campaign focuses on driving brand awareness not product
While we get creative in our IMC, the slogan “They keep you safe….” utilized throughout the campaign would still addresses the fundamental existence of Durex products.

**Focus on TRPs → why that over ? (narrowed audience …..please elaborate)
Reach - which is defined by the amount of potential customers that can be reached by the campaign.
Frequency - which represents the number of interactions between the advertising party and a potential customer.

**why are we not using traditional media (i.e. TV ads ...etc) due to media regulations set by the MDA in Singapore → we are challenged in this area and hence …...
