ASSIGNMENT 2: ADVERTISING:
Purpose of the campaign The purpose of this campaign is purely to raise awareness of how dangerous MSG is to the public. The campaign will reach out the public through print and digital media that will provide serious and quite shocking information. As a result from the heavy impact the media delivers, it will influence the way people think about what foods they eat and who they feed it to. There will also be a URL on the advertisements where people can gather more information on what MSG is, more effects it can have on you and others around you and most importantly realizing and preventing MSG in your food.
Target audience The MSG awareness campaign is predominantly targeted at men and women aged 18-24 that use public transport to work or study within capital cities of Australia. According to the Australia Bureau of Statics in 2006, 27% of males and 37% of females where using public transport to and from work or study. These figures have increased since 1996 by 5% more males and 6% more females taking public transport (Public Transport Use For Work and Study 2008). The campaign will target advertising predominately at public modes of transport and public domain.
Sponsors This specific operation will be campaigned under the Australian Government, Department of Health and Ageing. This will excel the success of our campaign as the general public acknowledges and are more likely to believe statements, facts and take action that have been expressed by the Australian government. I am aware some doctors believe MSG is fine to be consumed (Food Standards 2010). For the purpose of this campaign I will be supporting the party against MSG being acceptable in food.
WEBSITE The last 2 pages of the campaign is a single page website where the user simply scrolls through the site to receive the information in the appropriate order. The design has been reformatted to change the documents current layout to portrait. This has been implement so the website looks the way it would as if you were viewing it on a computer. Also by presenting the singe page website this way clearly displays the entire site.
