Content

Campaign 1 - Project:
The starting point for companies nowadays in engaging their consumers is understanding their needs and current behaviour in order to involve them, communicate effectively with them and explain the underlying drivers in their behaviour. Marketing communication campaigns are a powerful tool in improving decision-making, changing behaviour and creating engagement among consumers.
 
Authorities, NGOs and businesses that are active in the public domain all try to exercise influence on different kinds of behaviour of people. To change behaviour of people through a campaign is not an easy task. Nevertheless, there are many examples of campaigns that successfully stimulate healthy and responsible behaviour (drinking less alcohol, organ donation). Also with respect to safety, traffic campaigns have contributed to changing behaviour. Communication plays an important role here.
 
As a consultant in communication, the student will work on an assignment from a real client who needs help with a communication problem. The assignment is suited for designing a creative (marketing) communication campaign for the client. The campaign is aimed at behavioural change and can be related to sustainability. 
 
The student works in a team in which members mutually inspire each other with ideas, in which networks and expertise are shared, and creative techniques are applied to deliver an innovative campaign for the client.

Visual Communication 5: 
The students create individually a corporate identity mockup and website design for their own communication agency.
