Q: SO, WHAT IS A CAMPAIGN?

Q: SO, WHAT IS A CAMPAIGN?

A campaign is a series of ads that make up a concept/idea, i.e an idea that has more than one execution (three or more)

This is perceived to be harder to create than a one-shot idea

THE ONE-SHOT VS THE CAMPAIGN

This doesn’t mean the one-shot has less impact than a campaign, lets have a look at the differences

THE ONE-SHOT

NIkes Lance Armstrong ad for the Tour De France

THE CAMPAIGN

Guinness extra cold ads

THE CAMPAIGN
