DANDAD AWARDS 2008

"CREATE A COPY-BASED CAMPAIGN PROMOTING THE IDEA OF REALLY LISTENING AS OPPOSED TO JUST HEARING"
To achieve the brief above I shall focus on the fundermental element; "copy-based." Copywriter Definition:

The "copy" in this case means the words that a user will see when
visiting a web site or using a software application. A lot of people
undervalue the work of a copywriter and usually opt to write their own
content. However, a good copywriter can transform otherwise boring text into
catchy and informative text that can have an immediate impact on the
bottom line.

Unlike a technical writer whose work is intended to inform, a
copywriter is striving to persuade. For example, a copywriter would write an ad
designed to sell a big-screen TV, while a technical writer would write
the operating manual to tell you how to use it.

The fundermental element is to concentrate on the written text of the advert. I shall have to deliver a PURSASIVE caption, concentration on visuals to enhance the written caption.

Research to follow:
Define HEAR and LISTEN, origins, meanings, other languages
HEAR VS LISTEN
Slogans
contact a copy-writer
create audio recording of slogans, test the effective whit of slogans through hearing rather than seeing (visuals)
Previous copy based Dandad awards

The key issue towards this project is to keep things simple and conceptual. From previous work and discussion towards the D&DA awards 2008, it is evident that succession seems to show through following the brief, keeping ideas simple and following the origions of the considerations and target audience.
