Own your move.

Copywriting. Marketing. Advertising. Social Media.

After the Nigerian Government ascertained it was now safe to travel, the ban on air travel was to be lifted on Sept 5th 2020. The idea was to create a teaser and reveal communication. For the teaser, we wanted to get people excited about the chance to travel again so we asked them to replace their last names with their choice destinations. For the reveal, we tapped into the emotion of reaping the reward of doing the right thing; staying indoors so everyone can be safe. The reward is that now they can move freely again.

Invest in a Dyson.

Copywriting. Marketing. Advertising. Social Media.

This project is one of the three ad campaigns we had to create for The Workshop Advertising Apprenticeship program.The idea is to reaffirm Dyson's worth as an investment and not a one-off buy. To do this, we incorporated print, video, OOH, social, and experiential ideas into the entire campaign.We create a cohesive story, we divided the campaign into three phases – a teaser, launch, and sustenance phase.During the teaser phase, the goal was to bring people's attention to the dust that they cannot see using print and OOH ads.In the launch phase, we suggested the use of video ads, print ads, social activation/experiential events, and OOH ads to drive home the fact that people need to invest in a Dyson for a truly clean home.For the sustenance phase, the suggestion was to extend the video ad idea from the launch by creating a parody account for NotDyson – a brand that is everything that Dyson isn't, whose only advantage is that it is cheap.
