CULTURAL OLYMPIAD - CAMPAIGN STRATEGY AND ACTION PLAN


Campaign Strategy
When working with the creative brief we come together with some creative solutions and aims for the campaign strategy. Our biggest aim is to create more awareness of Cultural Olympiad, we want more people to know and understand the meaning of the festival. We want to make the advertising fun and different compared to normal TV and print adverts. Another aim relating to our creative solutions is to get people involved. After them knowing about the festival due to the advertising we now want people involved with the activities and going there just to see what it’s like. As we know Cultural Olympiad is a different type of Olympics for creative people we want our advertising and awareness in a creative way too.

Marketing Plan
 In order to use our creative solutions and bring them to life we have created a media plan to show off how we will complete our aim as explained below.

Product Definition
Cultural Olympiad is a alternative Olympics for the creative minds. It gives people who are not interested in sport an opportunity to showcase their creative talents in this festival. The festival has different events such as music, fashion, art & literature, film & digital, theatre, dance and comedy.

Situation Analysis
Unfortunately, Cultural Olympiad wasn’t publicised well enough to raise the awareness it should have gotten. Having asked our target audience if they knew anything about cultural Olympiad the answer was a majority of “no”.

Competitive environment
Most people are focusing on the sport Olympics and that is our biggest competition. With Cultural Olympiad being not well known and publicised the Olympics is gaining all the attention, with our creative solutions we hope to level the competition more equally.

Budget
With a budget of £10million we are unable to be able to price how much each event we have planned will cost.











ACTION PLAN

Advertising
For our TV adverts we will only be showing the Cultural Olympiad logo for ten seconds on main TV channels. We only want it to flash for ten seconds because we want people to search the logo and ‘Cultural Olympiad’. For our print adverts we are having photos of the famous people involved for example, Leona Lewis, Florence and the Machine and Giles Deacon. We are just having them in the advert, very simple with a sentence “I’m going, are you?” with the Cultural Olympiad logo and a QR code taking them to the official website but the section relating to that artist. We want our print adverts in magazines, newspapers, buses and billboards. Also we want our logo on drinks bottles such as Buxton water, Oasis, Fanta and Tango as these are all very well known branded drinks that are frequently sold.

Events
To get the kids involved with the festival we want to bring in official people taking part to go into junior and senior schools and do event days where the kids can try out all the subjects going on at the festival such as music, film, fashion and art. The kids can then get more knowledge about it and then if they enjoy the subjects they can suggest it to their families and possibly get more families to go. For the musicians taking part in the festival we want to do mini free concert for each artist on the same night but in different parts of the UK.

Competition
We will be holding one big competition for anyone to enter that enjoys any of the subjects in the festival. We want people to create a “piece” whether it’s a dance they made, a song they have written, to create an outfit ect. The prize of the competition is for the winners to showcase their talent at the festival and also one musician, the fashion designer and the dancer will be picked to be part of the opening ceremony of the Olympics.


Products
When people visit the festival many might want to pick up a souvenir of the event if they enjoyed their time. We want to make the souvenirs interesting and different to ones you would normally buy. We want the artists involved with the products sold. The artist’s original artwork can be copied and then sold to the public. The musicians can have their music on sale, the filmmakers can have their films on sale ect. We want the fashion designers to create a small range of products ranging from scarves, bags, socks and T-shirts. We will also be selling key rings and pins/badges.
We want to be able to help out families that will have to travel into and around London. We will be offering a discount pass ticket. This will mean anybody or family that has this pass can get train tickets cheaper to and from London, cheap transport around London like tubes and buses.
