Understanding of Advertising Campaign



An advertising campaign is a specific course of action designed to advertise a company, cause, or product that employs an intentional and carefully coordinated series of marketing tools in order to reach the target audience. The end purpose of any ad campaign is to boost awareness of the subject matter and generate demand. The exact structure of the advertising campaign will often depend on the nature of the product or cause and the target audience that the campaign is designed to reach. Examples of the advertising are newspaper, magazines, radio and television broadcasts, films, stage show, websites, billboards, posters, wall paintings, town criers, human billboards, flyers, rack cards taxicabs, buses, trains, subway platforms, bus stop benches, and more. While specifics vary from one advertising campaign to another, some of the same tools are used in just about any campaign. Both print and electronic media are often used to generate attention and enthusiasm for the subject of the campaign, often with the logical and timely launch of different tools at specific points in the overall campaign. While in time past, electronic media referred more to television and radio broadcasts, that component now includes tools such as online banner ads, text messaging, and email advertisements. In terms of print media used in an advertising campaign, ads placed in newspapers and magazines are a time-honored method of reaching the target audience. The ads usually are designed to pique the interest of readers and entice them to learn more about the topic of the ad. In order to ensure that the desired consumers are reached, the print advertisements will often appear in print media that is geared toward those consumers. For example, software that is designed to keep track of sales leads and existing clients may appear in a magazine that caters to sales and marketing professionals.
With electronic media, television and radio commercials remain a viable means of attracting the attention of buyers and creating demand for various products and services. Short television commercials designed to amuse as well as inform tend to make an impression on the viewer and are highly likely to entice a significant number of consumers to purchase the products displayed in the ad. In like manner, an advertising campaign may also include short radio commercials that catch the ear of the listener and help to conjure up visual images that create demand for the product.Along with traditional methods of creating an advertising campaign, newer tools are making it possible to reach consumers in new ways. Many companies design advertising campaigns to current clients that rely on such tools as text messaging or email advertising a text message to the client’s cell phone. As an alternative, the service provider may notify the customer of upcoming sales or new products and services via an email.For the most part, an advertising campaign will set specific goals that must be realized in a given period of time. In the event that the campaign does not quite meet the goals, the overall approach can be reworked slightly for the remainder of the campaign, or the information gained during the current campaign can be used to create a more effective follow-up advertising campaign strategy. Learning from the experience of past campaigns makes it possible to strengthen upcoming campaigns and move closer to achieving the goals set by the advertiser.



Project Brief 

Using Mobile Phone while Driving Increases Accident Risk



The theme  I’m  taking is dangerous of Using mobile phone while driving. Driving is the controlled operation and movement of a vehicle. The problem are trying to address about driving is “ Using Mobile Phone while Driving”. Today, as never before, society pressures us to “stay connected” via telecommunications devices; thus, it is no surprise that cell phone use while driving is a growing problem. This technological and social phenomenon is contributing to one of the leading causes of unintentional death and injury vehicle collisions. 2,600 people died and 330,000 are injured from people using mobile phone while driving in a year. In some cause using mobile drivers worse than drunk drivers. The evidence is clear and compelling. Epidemiologic, driver simulator, and naturalistic studies demonstrate that cell phones and driving are a dangerous combination. Unfortunately, while most drivers view cell phone while driving as unacceptable, many of them still engage it. This, in turn, is one of the biggest contributors to accidents. For collisions in 2007, out-of-control driving contributed to 23% (1,318 out of 5,672 cases) of fatal accidents and 14% of overall accidents (3,674 out of 27,035 cases).Dr Ahmad believes that mobile phones are one of the biggest distractions. “Phones are a major culprit even though we have laws prohibiting their use (while driving),” he says. He believes that road safety has a lot to do with prevailing culture and while the mobile phone has given us a sense of urgency, it has become a distraction. “When the phone rings, there is a compulsion that we have to pick it up. The mobile phone provides promptness but this is dangerous (when driving),” says Dr Ahmad. Road Safety Department director-general Datuk Suret Singh believes texting causes a significant number of accidents. “I don’t think we are any different from other countries. “It is probably higher here compared to Western countries as more Malaysians use their phones and text when driving,” he says. Federal traffic police chief Senior Asst Comm (II) Datuk Abdul Aziz Yusof says the police don’t tolerate the use of mobile phones. “There are people who do that but we don’t compromise on this. Texting is worse than talking. There are cases where even motorcyclists are texting. This is very dangerous because their concentration level is minimal.” He adds that there is no compilation of statistics on accidents due to mobile phone usage. “It will be very difficult to prove but we are sure there are cases,” says Abdul Aziz.Road Transport Department (JPJ) enforcement officer Syed Abdullah Syed Hussein says that it will be difficult to prove that a driver was texting.
It is easier to spot a driver who is holding his mobile phone to his ear and slap him with a summons of RM300 than one who is texting. Using mobile phone while driving now leading cause of death for teen drivers and become a greater than drinking and driving among teenagers who openly acknowledge using mobile phone behind the wheel of a moving vehicle. The number of teens who are dying or being injured as a result of using phone while driving has skyrocketed as mobile device technology has advanced.
The campaign going to do is commercial add about what will happen using mobile phone while driving.

Hands-free also distract
Dr Ahmad says studies have shown that using a hands-free device causes as much a distraction as talking on the phone.
“When talking (without hands-free kit), we don’t have full control of the steering wheel and our concentration is divided between the conversation and the road.

Texting while driving should be banned

Posted on April 17, 2011, Sunday             
 THE cellular phone has opened up a lot of possibilities for person-to-person contact, among other conveniences.But when it comes to road safety, the gadget could be considered a hazard, especially after the introduction of Short Message Service (SMS).Ever since the advent of SMS, society has become more aware of the dangers of texting while driving although the habit is still quite rampant among a large section of the motoring public who, for some strange reason, still do it despite knowing the perils involved.Text messages are brief — often limited to about 160 characters and can be easily sent from one cell phone to another.The service, embraced by millions worldwide, is so convenient that people can text anytime, any place and anywhere — even while walking, eating and driving.The cell phone is ubiquitous, simple to operate and transmits messages in a jiffy. For this reason, it has become a powerful campaigning tool during an election. But that’s another story.In recent years, the growing number of ‘texting-while-driving’ accidents has alerted the road safety authorities to the inherent dangers posed. One thing often overlooked is that driving requires full concentration, and using the hand phone behind the wheel can lead to a lapse in concentration and cause unnecessary road tragedies.According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 16 per cent of all fatal crashes in 2008 resulted from driver distractions, including, not surprisingly, reading, composing and texting while driving.
 This is more than adequate time for a person to run in front of a car or for the vehicle in front of the person to make a sudden stop, hence increasing the likelihood of averting a potentially nasty accident.When a driver is texting, his mind would be on the message he is reading or composing. This prevents the driver from thinking quickly as his reflexes are compromised since he is thinking of something else.The high risks of texting while driving should be reason enough to kick the habit. One option is putting the cell phone on silent mode while driving, especially if one is not expecting anything very urgent.This way, one is not tempted to check and read any messages that come in. It’s always better to wait until one arrives at one’s destination before reading or sending any text messages.Another option is to stop driving if one absolutely must use the cell phone. It’s also good road courtesy to make sure one stops at a place that will not obstruct traffic.Every year, thousands of people die in tragic car accidents. Among the causes are answering cell phone calls (headsets won’t help much since it is the conversation that distracts the driver), and, of course, texting while driving that takes away the use of one hand and requires the driver to occasionally glance at his or her cell phone, leading to distraction   often with disastrous consequences.A reminder of this point recently came from Datuk Michelle Yeoh, the global road safety ambassador from Malaysia.Yeoh, an international film celebrity in her own right, said texting while driving is distracting because the driver had to look down at the text — and in a moving car at that!“All it takes is a split second for an accident to happen. Texting is a definite no,” she said at the launch of the “Driving is a No Phone Zone” campaign in Kuala Lumpur.
“Many lives can be lost if we do not take preventive measures. We are all road users and responsible for our lives and the lives of our loved ones while on the road.“Everyone has the right to use the road safely,” said Yeoh who leads the UN road safety campaign.There is now no national law that bans texting or using  cellular phone while driving.It’s perhaps time to consider enacting legislations to curb texting while driving not only to reduce accidents on our roads but also redeem our tarnished reputation as a nation with the highest road deaths in the world.Read more: http://www.theborneopost.com/2011/04/17/texting-while-driving-should-be-banned/#ixzz2rnkPkNhS

Description
The “No Phone Zone” campaign is an initiative by Oprah Winfrey, with the objective of promoting awareness regarding the rate of road accidents caused by the usage of mobile phones while driving, as well as to make safety a bigger priority among drivers.

In view of this, the "No Phone Zone" campaign will be launched at HELP University College.

Date: 21st March 2011 - 25th March 2011
Venue: Lower Foyer, HELP University College

Events: A photography competition, a  pledge booth 
exhibitions, freebies, and MUCH MORE!

General information
The No Phone Zone campaign will be brought to Malaysia by HELP University College and the Department of Road Safety (JKJR). This week-long campaign aims to promote awareness about the dangers of using mobile phones while driving through activities, competitions and pledges.


CAMPAIGN OVERVIEW
Nearly 500,000 young adults each year are injured due to various forms of distracted driving, including texting, mobile instant messaging, updating social media platforms,
sending photos, etc. It's a habit deadlier than drunk driving. We live in a constantly connected world where multitasking is second nature and communicating is instant.
Coupled with this compulsion, teens and young adults are overly confident in their ability to 'safely' text while driving.

To stop this dangerous behavior, the Ad Council collaborated with the office of the State Attorneys General and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to create
a Texting and Driving Prevention campaign. The campaign targets young adult drivers and aims to show them the consequences of this seemingly benign behavior.
The campaign features Public Service Advertising (PSAs) in TV, radio, outdoor and web, as well as integrated digital and social media platforms.
All advertising drives consumers to StopTextsStopsWrecks.org where consumers can find tips and tactics for how to curb this behavior.

Campaign Background

BACKGROUND:
People feel pressure to remain in constant contact, even when behind the wheel of their car. What drivers do not realize are the dangers posed when they take their eyes and minds off the road and their hands off the wheel and focus on activities other than driving. 
Drivers of all ages live in a connected world where multitasking is the norm. This manifests in the car where they recognize texting and driving is dangerous, but do it anyway.

CAMPAIGN OBJECTIVES:

§  Curb the behavior of drivers who using mobile phone while driving by showing them what it means to have their eyes off the road
§  Go beyond the “using mobile phone while driving is dangerous” messaging, and address the compulsion to text while driving
§  Directly speak to the overconfidence many have in their ability to “safely” using mobile phone while driving

TARGET AUDIENCE:     
§  Mobile Users
§  Adult drivers between the ages of 16-49

DID YOU KNOW?

§  In 2011, This technological and social phenomenon is contributing to one of the leading causes of unintentional death and injury vehicle collisions. 2,600 people died and 330,000 are injured from people using mobile phone while driving in a year. The average time a driver’s eyes are off the road while texting is nearly five seconds. When traveling at 55mph, that’s enough, time to cover the length of a football field.
§  You are two times more likely to crash if you text while driving
