WEEK 8 - A good PSA ad - Quebec Automobile Insurance Company: "Buckle Up and Stay Alive"

Image
Quebec Automobile Insurance Company - "Buckle Up and Stay Alive" Image via: https://guerrillaforngo.wordpress.com/portfolio/saaq-buckle-up-stay-alive/ I have selected this Public Service Announcement print ad created by The Quebec Automobile Insurance Society. They develop these sets of the poster to raise awareness of safe driving and using seat belts as to this day, there are still drivers and passengers who die in road accidents because they were not buckled up. Wearing a seat belt reduces by half the risk of being killed or seriously injured in an accident (Guerrillaforngo, 2017). I think this PSA ad is really effective because it delivers exactly one “core message” in a straightforward way and this “core message” is the one thing you want the audience to remember and understand (Bizfluent, 2017). The message in this PSA ad is really clear as it stated: “Buckle Up, Stay Alive”. If you are not wearing a seatbelt and you get in a car accident you will poss...

WEEK 7 - Rewriting new copy for billboard

Image
Image via: http://www.flint-group.com/blog/6-steps-creating-outdoor-billboards-with-impact/ This advertisement is an example of a badly structured billboard. In my opinion, there are too many elements that can be found on the billboard itself that requires a longer period of time to be read. Moreover, billboard as such can cause readers to lose interest, as they will only focus on the name of the company. Furthermore, the fonts used in this billboard ad are more likely the same, which can be confusing and boring at the same time. In short, there is no focus point. According to Clarke (2011), a billboard should be simple, visible and understandable at least 500 feet away. Not only that, it is important to tell them only about key information. A new copy that I personally think is good includes:- Headline “Everybody deserves a good lumber, don’t you think?” Body Copy Benefits: Affordable prices up for grabs Free consultations available Company Name: ...

WEEK 5 - Copywriting Tips

An interesting copy for a product's packaging According to Brand New Copy (2017), a persuasive and good copywriting encourages people to take action. The way your message is delivered makes all the difference whether the aim is to get consumers to subscribe to your mailing list, or buy your products or services. A compelling headline is arguably the most important part of a copy, as it compels readers to read more. Thus, no matter how persuasive your body copy is, if your readers do not get past your headline, the rest is pretty much redundant. Furthermore, an interesting copy for a product’s packaging is to entice it with benefits.

Image
Image via: http://www.inspirational-quotes-short-funny-stuff.com/funny-ads.html I have chosen this Burger King advertisement for this activity. Firstly, one of the 5 different headlines is direct benefits claim which is “It’s so good even Mr. Ronald can’t resist Burger King ®” . The inspiration from this headline that I had created is due to the fact that Ronald is ordering his burgers from his competitor, Burger King because he loves it. Not only that, it displayed the brand’s outstanding quality. Secondly, identify brand is also one of the method I have chosen, which is “Burger King ® , the king of all burgers”. The inspiration behind this quote is that it shows the brand’s value and also the fact that it shed light to the brand itself. Thirdly, question headlines that I had chosen are “Have you gotten your burger on this morning? I know Ronald did”. Moreover, I had created a headline with a good question, in hopes that consumers can get the answers quickly, as it is...

WEEK 3 - Headline

Image
What is Headline? A headline is one of the most important pieces of communication in advertising. It is designed to draw customers attention to read into the ad. It definitely makes a difference between which stories get read and which get ignored. If you do it well, you’ll turn a prospective customer into a sale but if you do it poorly,  the whole pitch will properly get passed over. Image via:  https://extra.ie/lifestyle/health/controversial-irish-cancer-society-ad-picks-up-industry-awards Tips for writing great headline One of the tips of creating a good headline is by stating the offering or guarantee in the headline. These tips work the best especially when you have a promotion going on. By this, you can write a clear and concise headline that will lure customers in.
