Module Aims

• Develop creative approaches to building awareness and encouraging action
• Apply knowledge and skills to a more complex collaborative project brief
• Demonstrate personal responsibility and professional codes of conduct appropriate to your chosen specialist practice

Content Summary

In this module, you will work with a ‘third sector’ client to advise them on creative approaches to building awareness of their work, and encouraging action on the part of their target audience.
In doing so you will work with your peers to develop a range of practical and effective solutions.
Behind the goal of producing work that supports good causes, the module also encourages you to develop key professional attributes. In particular, collaborative working and professional approaches to working with clients and their audiences.
These aspects will indirectly form a large part of your assessment through one simple truth: a bad team approach, and unprofessional behaviour, will not result in good advertising.
As with the Agency Simulation module, you are not in competition with other students or groups but should support others in helping the client. Students who go above and beyond to help others will have their contributions recognised.
Note that the nature of the project may involve consideration of ethics and other issues, and care should be taken not to publish anything online that compromises others.
