Worse than dust

Copywriting • Marketing • Advertising

TASK
The project aimed to create an ad campaign to increase awareness about the brand's auto insurance plan. The metrics were engagement and lead generation.
PROCESS
Immerse: I researched the target audience to understand their sentiments and behaviors regarding car ownership and care. This included analyzing their attitudes towards car maintenance, particularly in a humid and dusty environment. I gathered insights on common practices and concerns, such as the frequent use of car dust covers to protect vehicles from dust and dirt accumulation.
Frame: Based on the research findings, I conceptualized an ad campaign that leveraged the familiar act of using car dust covers. The idea was to draw a parallel between this common practice and the importance of having auto insurance. The metaphor of the dust cover highlighted the need for comprehensive protection, extending beyond simple car care to financial security in the event of accidents.Ideate: I developed a creative concept that positioned auto insurance as a crucial component of responsible car ownership. The ad encouraged viewers to consider auto insurance with the same importance they placed on using dust covers. The messaging emphasized that while dust can be a daily nuisance requiring regular cleaning, accidents—whether minor or major—can result in significant, unexpected expenses that insurance can help mitigate. This approach aimed to shift the perception of auto insurance from a mere necessity to an essential investment in car care and financial security.Execute: I crafted the copy for the ad and collaborated with the design team to ensure the visuals complemented the messaging. The ad featured a car covered with a dust cover, symbolizing protection and care. The tagline reinforced the message that just as dust covers protect the exterior, auto insurance safeguards against unforeseen financial burdens. The campaign successfully captured the audience's attention and encouraged inquiries about the brand's offerings.

TASK
After the Nigerian Government declared it was safe to travel, the ban on air travel was set to be lifted on September 5th, 2020. The goal was to create a campaign to inform people that it was safe to travel again and encourage them to inquire about the brand’s travel insurance policy.
PROCESS
Immerse: I researched the public sentiment around travel and safety post-ban and analyzed common travel aspirations among the target audience. This helped shape a campaign that would resonate with their desires and concerns.
Frame: I conceptualized a campaign centered on the theme of "getting moving again" and rekindling travel aspirations. The campaign aimed to remind the audience of the travel dreams they had before the ban.Ideate: For the teaser, I aimed to generate excitement about the possibility of traveling again. The idea was to tap into the common practice of saving people's phone numbers with their first name and a location as their last name (e.g. John Work, Jane Cafeteria) to make it easy to recall whom. There is also a cultural practice of people teasing their friends who have traveled abroad by playfully replacing their last names with where they visited (e.g. John Cancun). The ads encouraged the audience to replace their last names with their dream destinations as a fun way to anticipate future travels.
For the launch, I focused on the theme of reaping the rewards of responsible behavior. The message conveyed that staying indoors to keep everyone safe has now allowed them the freedom to travel again.
Execute: I wrote the copy for the creative materials for both the teaser and reveal phases, ensuring they were cohesive and engaging across all platforms. The ads were successful because users joined in on social media to replace their last names with their dream destinations and talked about future travels.

The Launch Ad

Invest in a Dyson.

Copywriting • Marketing • Advertising • Social Media

TASK
This project was one of three ad campaigns created for The Workshop Advertising Apprenticeship program with a co-copywriter and a mentor. The goal was to create an ad campaign for the Dyson brand.
PROCESS
Immerse: I researched Dyson's brand values and customer perceptions. This provided a foundation for developing a campaign that effectively communicated Dyson's long-term value.
Frame: I conceptualized a comprehensive campaign divided into three phases – teaser, launch, and sustenance – that incorporated print, video, OOH, social, and experiential elements to create a cohesive story.Ideate: The big idea was to reaffirm Dyson's worth as an investment rather than a one-off buy to build and maintain interest in Dyson as an essential investment for a clean home. During the teaser phase, we aimed to draw attention to the unseen dust in homes using print and OOH ads.
For the launch phase, we proposed a combination of video ads, print ads, social activation/experiential events, and OOH ads to emphasize the need for investing in a Dyson. In the sustenance phase, we extended the video ad concept by creating a social media parody account for NotDyson – a brand that represents everything Dyson isn't, with the only advantage being its low cost.
Execute: Collaborating closely with my co-copywriter and mentor, I designed and produced campaign materials across various platforms on Canva. I designed the mockups for all phases and compiled the presentation for submission to the program.

TASK
This project aimed to create a campaign that redefined the perception of fathers, who are often seen by their kids as less involved due to their frequent absence. The goal was to take the audience behind the scenes to reveal the true role and contributions of fathers.
PROCESS
Immerse: While I was aware of the common assumption about fathers, I worked with the strategy team to research the common perceptions of fatherhood and the dynamics of parental roles in families. This provided insights and backed the assumptions we had about how fathers are viewed by their children and society.
Frame: I conceptualized a campaign that aimed to challenge the stereotype of fathers being less involved. The campaign's theme was to offer a behind-the-scenes look at who fathers really are and the vital roles they play in their families.Ideate: I developed the narrative to highlight the unseen efforts and sacrifices of fathers. The idea was to show moments where fathers contribute significantly to their families, despite not always being physically present. The messaging aimed to evoke a sense of appreciation and recognition for fathers.Execute: I wrote the copy for the campaign materials, that took the audience on a journey behind the scenes. The visuals and storytelling were crafted to be heartfelt and impactful, successfully revealing the true essence of fatherhood and changing the audience's perception.
