Promise “ Experience the real fun in Thailand” Rationale:  As the focus of the campaign is about Songkran Festival, which is about fun and enjoyment, so we are saying that if you joined us in this festival you will have fun with it and you will see what real fun is like; we also think of it as an experience that is very genuine and cannot be found elsewhere but Thailand.
Slogan “ Sensational Siam” We came up with the name “Siam” because from our experience, many foreigners confused “Thailand” with “Taiwan” therefore we decided to use “Siam” instead of “Thailand” because it has originality, uniqueness and more power when use as the campaign’s name. Songkran day is the main focus of our campaign so we came up with the word “sensational” because it gives the sense of overall feeling of Thailand during this festival and it also rhyme with “Siam”.
Tagline “ Your soul, your spirit, your Siam.” This tagline came up as we were trying to find the right word for the campaign. Then, we think of Thailand as a sanctuary for every soul that needs relaxation, so we decided to analogize Siam to a person to make a connection between the audience and the tagline. We apply the pronoun, your, to makes the audience feel that they belong in Thailand and can easily assimilate themselves to our country.
Tone & Manner Fun Happiness Cultural atmosphere
Campaign Launch Period 3-month Campaign: February  March April
Creative Work
We choose Songkran Day as the main focus of our TAT campaign because it is one of our unique traditional festival that cannot be found elsewhere, therefore, this festival is a great way to draw tourists attention to Thailand. Then, we can provide them ways of exploring Thailand during their stays here after the festival such as adventurous activities, interesting tourist attraction, and other traveling routes Songkran Festival
Logo The logo “Sensational Siam” starts the first S letter with a Thai font style because we think it represents the feeling of being Thai. The font style that we used can usually be seen at temples and Thai traditional art work; therefore, it is very indigenous and sophisticate, it also implies delicacy but, on the one hand, solidity. The rest of the alphabets are written in lower case to tone down the boldness of the “S”, thus, we use a more simple and thinner line to create that effect. Yellow becomes the main color because it is a strong color that bridges the logo to the overall idea of  Thailand.

Print Advertising
Target: Print media readers Age between 21-35 years old Travelers, who likes finding more information through traveling magazines Promise:  Readers will find more information and become more understanding about the festival through the website that is placed within the advertisement Tone & Manner:  Fun and cheerful.
We consider placing these series of ads internationally as well as domestic, we decided to translate these words as following;  Domestic International Sodsai  Smile Sanook Splendid Sabuy Splash Songkran Siam
Sodsai = smile Text:  Sodsai reflects Thai people personality and attitude as Thailand is known as the land of smile. We chose to express this word in yellow because it implies the feeling of brightness and freshness. Picture:  These kids are innocent and naive, they are better than adults in a way of showing their real feeling. The impression on their faces were sincere.  Color:  We chose to blur out the background because we want the children to stands out in the picture. However, the background is still important because it can show the viewer the feeling of Songkran day. Tone& manner:  Fun and cheerfulness.
Sanook = Fun Text:  Sanook(fun) is the feeling when you splash water to other people during the water festival. We choose to express this word because we want the viewer to get the feeling that they are going to have a good time in Thailand. White is the best fit color for the font in this picture bacause yellow will be difficult to read and black would be too strong. White also gives the feeling of calmness and it matches with the beach.  Picture:  Thai beaches are one of our tourist attraction  come to Thailand and using Thai local boys will be match with the background too. The way they hug each other shows the viewers that  Color:  vivid and nice lighting with light beautiful beautiful. Tone& manner:  calmness and cozy feeling.
Sabuy = Relax Text:  Sabuy is a good expression after played Songkran. It gives the comfortable, relaxing, White words is stand out with the dark color. Picture:  Elephant is a good present of Thailand because it all represent our culture and uniqueness. This picture reflects the real happiness moment of children  Color:  Using high contrast between dark images and bright blue sky will make the whole ad more realistic and look interesting. Tone& manner:  Refreshing and  fun.
Songkran water festival Text:  Using the words in orange-gold color is  matching with the logo color and orange is distinctive with the background as well. Picture:  The pervious 3 ads show the way of playing Songkran in modern way. This picture is a good picture to represent the water festival as it shows the difference in custom, equipment, and location which will bring us to the old day of the festival. Color:  Use sepia or ancient color to trace back into time Tone& manner:  Humbleness and fun.
Advertising Analysis Strategy:  We use four consecutive “S” to start each advertising  copy to connect one idea of each ad to another. By doing this, we apply storytelling technique to show the viewers different sensation that they will experience from visiting Thailand from the start to the end. As a result, we choose the words that most imply relaxing moment, thus Sodsai, Sanook, Sabuy and Songkran are the words that we use to support the main idea of “Sensational Siam”. Moreover, we also considered the execution of these ads on the international level, so the international version of these connected words are translated into smile, splendid, splash and Siam respectively.
Print advertising  for Domestic
Rationale for format & time allocation in Domestic Print Media Magazine:  Travel & leisure, tLIFESTYLE+TRAVEL, Anywhere, and National Geography  Launch on March with double gate- fold page. April use full page of Songkran ad on April.  Rationale:   We used double gate- fold page because the viewer can get all 4 concepts at a time. Using double page, allow viewers to see each ad clearly and it draws enough attention to viewer. Moreover, to lure the viewers with question or teaser will arouses the viewer to connect open the fold to the find out what this ads about. We decided to launch the ad before the festival only a month in order to remind our target.
Newspaper:  Bangkok Post and The Nations Both Bangkok Post and the Nations are using the same format Start from third week of March to second week of April Monday and Friday are using collage in full page while Tuesday and Thursday will be strip ad.  Rationale:   We use full page for the newspaper on Monday and Friday because Monday is the first working day of the week. People will be interested in newspaper after they have a weekend. Moreover, many people read newspaper on Friday because they are looking for a place for dinning or a place to relax over weekend. We think using a same question of magazine as teaser into the newspaper would be great idea because we want to build their awareness to get involve to the festival.

Print advertising  for  International
Rationale for format and time allocation  in International Print Media Magazine:  Times  National Geography  Reader’s Digest  lonely Planet For internation magazines, we decided to put double gate-fold page in the first month of the launching period which is in February, this is because we want to attract our target audiences early before the time of Songkran Festival so they have time to decide and get information about Thailand before hand. In March, we put full page advertising to remind people about our campaign. Because during this time, people are already aware of our campaign so they don’t need big fancy advertising to remind them. In April, we decided not to put anything on the international magazine because at that time,  our target group would already be in Thailand.
Newspaper:  (in China, Singapore, United States, England, Japan and France) In the first month (February) we will put one full page each week for the first two week to create awareness to our target and for the rest two week of the first month, we decided to put half page advertising to provide information about our campaign because doing advertising for international newspaper is very expensive so we try to make the most outcome from our limited budget. In march, we decided to put strip ads on these newspaper every day for the whole first week to remind people but then for the rest three week of the month we decrease the frequency down to twice strip ads a week (Wednesday and Sunday)

Rational for billboard location Time& Quantity:  3 months billboard and 1 billboard in each area. Billboards are larger-then-life visual, which draw primary attention, especially when placed in high traffic areas like Siam, Silom, and Rama IV. Drivers usually look around as they stuck on a highway, and practically, most drivers are able to notice signs around them even if they are driving pass . Moreover, billboards work as brand reminder, especially, to drivers who use the same traveling routes everyday. In addition, our billboards will also be launched at international airports to give information to foreign travelers, so they can see the impression of Songkran Festival from the ads and find out more about it at our official website

Quantity: 1 billboard for each area  Budget: 100,000x 3= 300,000 (This cost already in the budget table) Rationale: These location are the high-traffic area, especially Siam; the reason that we launch the teasers at the airports is it targeted directly to foreign travelers both traveling in Thailand and international. Teasers bring mystery to viewers’ minds, they trigger curiosity, thus making people want to know about what comes in the next episodes. The teasers will be set up for only one month during February, the actual advertisement will be launched instantaneously after February to create continuation.

    Promise “ Experiencethe real fun in Thailand” Rationale: As the focus of the campaign is about Songkran Festival, which is about fun and enjoyment, so we are saying that if you joined us in this festival you will have fun with it and you will see what real fun is like; we also think of it as an experience that is very genuine and cannot be found elsewhere but Thailand.
  • 5.
    Slogan “ SensationalSiam” We came up with the name “Siam” because from our experience, many foreigners confused “Thailand” with “Taiwan” therefore we decided to use “Siam” instead of “Thailand” because it has originality, uniqueness and more power when use as the campaign’s name. Songkran day is the main focus of our campaign so we came up with the word “sensational” because it gives the sense of overall feeling of Thailand during this festival and it also rhyme with “Siam”.
  • 6.
    Tagline “ Yoursoul, your spirit, your Siam.” This tagline came up as we were trying to find the right word for the campaign. Then, we think of Thailand as a sanctuary for every soul that needs relaxation, so we decided to analogize Siam to a person to make a connection between the audience and the tagline. We apply the pronoun, your, to makes the audience feel that they belong in Thailand and can easily assimilate themselves to our country.

    We choose SongkranDay as the main focus of our TAT campaign because it is one of our unique traditional festival that cannot be found elsewhere, therefore, this festival is a great way to draw tourists attention to Thailand. Then, we can provide them ways of exploring Thailand during their stays here after the festival such as adventurous activities, interesting tourist attraction, and other traveling routes Songkran Festival
  • 11.
    Logo The logo“Sensational Siam” starts the first S letter with a Thai font style because we think it represents the feeling of being Thai. The font style that we used can usually be seen at temples and Thai traditional art work; therefore, it is very indigenous and sophisticate, it also implies delicacy but, on the one hand, solidity. The rest of the alphabets are written in lower case to tone down the boldness of the “S”, thus, we use a more simple and thinner line to create that effect. Yellow becomes the main color because it is a strong color that bridges the logo to the overall idea of Thailand.

  • 64.
    We consider placingthese series of ads internationally as well as domestic, we decided to translate these words as following; Domestic International Sodsai Smile Sanook Splendid Sabuy Splash Songkran Siam
  • 65.
    Sodsai = smileText: Sodsai reflects Thai people personality and attitude as Thailand is known as the land of smile. We chose to express this word in yellow because it implies the feeling of brightness and freshness. Picture: These kids are innocent and naive, they are better than adults in a way of showing their real feeling. The impression on their faces were sincere. Color: We chose to blur out the background because we want the children to stands out in the picture. However, the background is still important because it can show the viewer the feeling of Songkran day. Tone& manner: Fun and cheerfulness.
  • 66.
    Sanook = FunText: Sanook(fun) is the feeling when you splash water to other people during the water festival. We choose to express this word because we want the viewer to get the feeling that they are going to have a good time in Thailand. White is the best fit color for the font in this picture bacause yellow will be difficult to read and black would be too strong. White also gives the feeling of calmness and it matches with the beach. Picture: Thai beaches are one of our tourist attraction come to Thailand and using Thai local boys will be match with the background too. The way they hug each other shows the viewers that Color: vivid and nice lighting with light beautiful beautiful. Tone& manner: calmness and cozy feeling.
  • 67.
    Sabuy = RelaxText: Sabuy is a good expression after played Songkran. It gives the comfortable, relaxing, White words is stand out with the dark color. Picture: Elephant is a good present of Thailand because it all represent our culture and uniqueness. This picture reflects the real happiness moment of children Color: Using high contrast between dark images and bright blue sky will make the whole ad more realistic and look interesting. Tone& manner: Refreshing and fun.
  • 68.
    Songkran water festivalText: Using the words in orange-gold color is matching with the logo color and orange is distinctive with the background as well. Picture: The pervious 3 ads show the way of playing Songkran in modern way. This picture is a good picture to represent the water festival as it shows the difference in custom, equipment, and location which will bring us to the old day of the festival. Color: Use sepia or ancient color to trace back into time Tone& manner: Humbleness and fun.
  • 69.
    Advertising Analysis Strategy: We use four consecutive “S” to start each advertising copy to connect one idea of each ad to another. By doing this, we apply storytelling technique to show the viewers different sensation that they will experience from visiting Thailand from the start to the end. As a result, we choose the words that most imply relaxing moment, thus Sodsai, Sanook, Sabuy and Songkran are the words that we use to support the main idea of “Sensational Siam”. Moreover, we also considered the execution of these ads on the international level, so the international version of these connected words are translated into smile, splendid, splash and Siam respectively.

    Print advertising for Domestic
  • 71.
    Rationale for format& time allocation in Domestic Print Media Magazine: Travel & leisure, tLIFESTYLE+TRAVEL, Anywhere, and National Geography Launch on March with double gate- fold page. April use full page of Songkran ad on April. Rationale: We used double gate- fold page because the viewer can get all 4 concepts at a time. Using double page, allow viewers to see each ad clearly and it draws enough attention to viewer. Moreover, to lure the viewers with question or teaser will arouses the viewer to connect open the fold to the find out what this ads about. We decided to launch the ad before the festival only a month in order to remind our target.
  • 72.
    Newspaper: BangkokPost and The Nations Both Bangkok Post and the Nations are using the same format Start from third week of March to second week of April Monday and Friday are using collage in full page while Tuesday and Thursday will be strip ad. Rationale: We use full page for the newspaper on Monday and Friday because Monday is the first working day of the week. People will be interested in newspaper after they have a weekend. Moreover, many people read newspaper on Friday because they are looking for a place for dinning or a place to relax over weekend. We think using a same question of magazine as teaser into the newspaper would be great idea because we want to build their awareness to get involve to the festival.

    Print advertising for International
  • 76.
    Rationale for formatand time allocation in International Print Media Magazine: Times National Geography Reader’s Digest lonely Planet For internation magazines, we decided to put double gate-fold page in the first month of the launching period which is in February, this is because we want to attract our target audiences early before the time of Songkran Festival so they have time to decide and get information about Thailand before hand. In March, we put full page advertising to remind people about our campaign. Because during this time, people are already aware of our campaign so they don’t need big fancy advertising to remind them. In April, we decided not to put anything on the international magazine because at that time, our target group would already be in Thailand.
  • 77.
    Newspaper: (inChina, Singapore, United States, England, Japan and France) In the first month (February) we will put one full page each week for the first two week to create awareness to our target and for the rest two week of the first month, we decided to put half page advertising to provide information about our campaign because doing advertising for international newspaper is very expensive so we try to make the most outcome from our limited budget. In march, we decided to put strip ads on these newspaper every day for the whole first week to remind people but then for the rest three week of the month we decrease the frequency down to twice strip ads a week (Wednesday and Sunday)

    Rational for billboardlocation Time& Quantity: 3 months billboard and 1 billboard in each area. Billboards are larger-then-life visual, which draw primary attention, especially when placed in high traffic areas like Siam, Silom, and Rama IV. Drivers usually look around as they stuck on a highway, and practically, most drivers are able to notice signs around them even if they are driving pass . Moreover, billboards work as brand reminder, especially, to drivers who use the same traveling routes everyday. In addition, our billboards will also be launched at international airports to give information to foreign travelers, so they can see the impression of Songkran Festival from the ads and find out more about it at our official website

    Teaser Billboard Location:Siam, DonMuang airport, Suvannabhumi airport Time: We decided to use first month of billboard space for teaser then change it into actual print ad for the rest 2 months. Quantity: 1 billboard for each area Budget: 100,000x 3= 300,000 (This cost already in the budget table) Rationale: These location are the high-traffic area, especially Siam; the reason that we launch the teasers at the airports is it targeted directly to foreign travelers both traveling in Thailand and international. Teasers bring mystery to viewers’ minds, they trigger curiosity, thus making people want to know about what comes in the next episodes. The teasers will be set up for only one month during February, the actual advertisement will be launched instantaneously after February to create continuation.
