Advertising campaigns
Campaigns are a series of messages that share a single idea or theme.
Together the messages make up an integrated marketing
communication. (Texts with a common message).
Any good campaign needs a champion theme. This is the main
message that will be communicated through their promotional
activities.
Some of these champion themes change quite quickly as the market
