Example of campaigns

The Lung Clock campaign


The 'Lung clock' campaign was a Public Service campaign created by the blf, British lung foundation, which tries to stop people from smoking, they did this by showing people their 'lung age' showing people that by smoking they are making their lungs work harder, increasing their age, and making smokers think are they really the age they think they are? The target audience of this advert are men from the age of 40+ who smoke, this is shown as a the main image in the advert is a man in his 40's and the caption tells us this and that he does smoke.

They made this ad with 'shock' in mind, as this man is wearing a white shirt with a lung image on his shirt, the lung is withered and filled with holes. Showing smokers what happens to their lungs when they smoke. The man is also looking at the grown and his facial expression seem sad and disappointment towards his self. Then in the bottom left of the advert it saids 'How old are your lungs?' using a rhetorical question.



Dumb ways to die


Dumb was to die was created by The metro train in Melbourne Australia as a public service announcement to teach people about the deaths on train stations and the importance of being aware around them. The target audience of this campaign is 9-14 children to teach them about train safety. They use this by creating a catchy happy song to stick in the minds of young children, the colours are very bright and childish and the words use are also childish like the word "dumb".All the characters in the song are also smiling to attract a younger audience and the shape of the characters are also very simple being colourful 'blobs'  with black eyes and bright white teeth. Media platforms that are the internet and app of this which are how they connect with their younger audience by creating a game and a song on YouTube. They are linked together as the game plays the music of the song in the background and the game is all about the song and you play as the characters to safe them, teaching you about safety. The persuasive techniques used are shock and catchy music. Shock is used because the first time you watch this its all happy and funny and then at the end it goes serious and has a pubic service announcement. The catchy music is very effective as it gets in side your head and people will be thinking about it and subconsciously doing as it says, and the shock factor adds to it and makes people know that it is also serious. The media products are both used on the internet one on the app store and one YouTube.

  1. Good work Charles. If these examples of campaigns are to be your full analysis, then more detail is needed (use my sheet to help you) - if not, then this is fine!
