Content

Campaign 1 - Project:
To engaged their consumers and communicate effectively with them, companies work on understanding their needs and current behaviour. Authorities, NGOs and businesses try to exercise influence on different kinds of behaviour, which is not easy. There are many examples of communication campaigns that successfully stimulate healthy, responsible and safe behaviour (drinking less alcohol, organ donation, traffic campaigns).

As a consultant in communication, the student works 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. 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, networks and expertise are shared, and creative techniques are applied.

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