WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT

For one of our curriculum projects, we had analysed a communication brief by the client, Courts. They were selling mobile accessories from a brand called 3SIXT, and wanted to promote them in the Singapore market.

The objective of this project was to come up with a integrated campaign that covered both creative and media tactics to solve the issues captured in the client’s brief.

HOW I FELT

This was the first time I had ever conducted an extensive market research to develop a campaign. I learned how the information in our market report could be used to later develop ideas for our advertising tactics.

This was a very tedious but yet eye-opening experience for me, and I am grateful to have had the opportunity to learn about how a deep understanding of the market and target audience can affect a campaign.
