Research
Since the project had no defined audience, initial research was conducted to help understand the biggest issues around this subject. Statistical and historical data shaped basic assumptions leading to a targeted audience to base the campaign around - the communities of war zone areas. A more in-depth research plan was crafted with historical information and competitive analysis. Using the insight of the analysis, a guerilla style campaign was fashioned along with a brand identity system. Things like decals and newspaper inserts would be given to the communities to distribute and place and establish an overall connection with those trying to empower their voices.
