MONDAY, JANUARY 14

DO NOW:There are a plethora of important issues that exist in our world…issues that range from wearing uniforms in public schools to establishing laws that limit gun control. Some of these issues are controversial and widely talked about. And there are others that, although of great importance to some, they are not, for whatever reason, known to a large audience.

Carefully reflect on some issues that either have significance to you or are important to society as a whole. Make a list of at least 5 topics/issues that you would be interested in learning more about and sharing with others.

IDENTIFYING A TARGET AUDIENCE:

When directing a campaign or message toward the target audience, there are some very important details to take into consideration.

Tues. , Jan. 15, 2013 Target Audience

“How important is a target audience in a persuasion campaign?”

What do these images/words have in

common?

How are they different?What are some of the

categories that would be used to connect a

target audience to these images/words?

What product do you think would

incorporate these images into an ad

campaign?

NOW, seeing the same images in a

different way, what product ad campaign

do you think these would be

incorporated in?

These images/words were a part of a

Sharpie ad campaign.

Where do you think you would specifically find these two ads?

Why?

These are also ads from the same campaign.

What message do you think the company wants the target audience to connect to? Why?

Ad # 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zeh9K_jR1UU

Let’s look at some other examples from Sharpie…

Mr. Wise-g(eye) says…Let’s take a look at:

A NEW YORK TIMES ARTICLE

ABOUT THE 2011 SHARPIE

CAMPAIGN

“A Sharpie Campaign, Aimed at Teenagers, Urges Self-

Expression” article:

1. Anchor tab this into your notebook, and put the header as “Behind the Sharpie Ad Campaign”

2. After reading the article, write 1 QCR.

3. What was most interesting about this article?

4. What kind of information can you use from this article to help you with your persuasive campaign?

5. How does this article show the importance of understanding the target audience?

July 26, 2011A Sharpie Campaign, Aimed at Teenagers, Urges Self-ExpressionBy JANE L. LEVERESHARPIE, whose permanent markers were immortalized by NFL receiver Terrell Owens when he pulled a Sharpie out of his sock to sign a football after scoring a touchdown, is turning to more minor celebrities to promote its products. The marker company is officially introducing a revamped Web site on Wednesday as part of its 2011 back-to-school marketing campaign, which also features avid, though lesser-known, Sharpie fans, and urges consumers to “start something” with its products. Directed at teenagers, the campaign also includes new print, TV, Internet and cinema advertising, extensive use of social media, and new packaging, markers and colors. Sharpie, introduced in 1964 by the writing instrument manufacturer Sanford, is part of the office products business unit of Newell Rubbermaid. According to Budd Bugatch, who follows Newell Rubbermaid for Raymond James, it is the leading permanent marker and highlighter brand in the United States with a 60 percent share of the market. Back-to-school sales are vital for these products. Jason Gere, who follows Newell Rubbermaid for RBC Capital Markets, estimated that 27 percent of sales of all Newell Rubbermaid office products — which also include Rolodex and Paper Mate, Parker and Waterman writing instruments — occur in the third quarter, during the months of July, August and September. He said this figure was even higher for Sharpie. The new campaign, created by the Chicago office of Draftfcb, part of the Interpublic Group of Companies, expands on a theme to “uncap what’s inside” introduced by the agency in 2009. “Sharpie can be a catalyst for self-expression,” and the new campaign “is an evolution” of this concept, said Gigi Carroll, senior vice president

and creative director of Draftfcb in Chicago…..

Let’s take a look at:

DEVELOPING YOUR IDEAS AND TARGET AUDIENCE FOR YOUR THINK, INC. CAMPAIGN

3. Begin narrowing down your options to a few topics that you would seriously be interested in working on.
