campaign: River Island's epilapcy campaign
This campaign was released in 2017 on the River Island website. The slogan being the hashtag explainepilepsy.
The target age for this campaign would be a younger generation who does not know that much about epilepsy. The target market would probably be a usual person who is not really educated about epilepsy. Their gender would not be specific as any gender can be interested in epilepsy.
The key message from this campaign is that epilepsy is more complex and not what everyone thinks its like. It explains that epilepsy is not as stereotypical as people think.
One technique that is used in this campaign is the use of the hashtag, this can aim towards the younger generation who use social media.Another technique is the use of the platform that it is created on. The fact that it is computer based engages a generation that use computers. The fact that the campaign is on the River Island which engages people that frequently use the site.
The group of people used in this campaign are normal everyday people that don't look like they have a disability. This creates the message that a disability doesn't change how people see you.The campaign uses a motto about stereotypes this enforces the message about appropriate epileptic meaning.
The TA can access this campaign by just searching up the River Island website.This campaign will be 24/7 as it will be on a website which runs 24/7.Events can be scheduled very easily as it will put on the internet where everyone can see it.
The use of this type of media reinforces the message that people shouldn't feel bad about their problem and that people can be seen as normal with this disability.This type of media can be linked with stereotypes and not feeling okay with yourself and being judged for not a good enough reason. Plus the internet is a good place to do this as many people see it.
They would have to make sure their campaign is ethically pleasing and example of this is not stereotyping the issue at hand by using stereotypical models and making races and genders are not offended.
They have avoided scrutiny from ASA. They have done this by using racial and gender diversity this stops people complaining to ASA about this campaign.
I don't believe there is nothing that is unethical and shows a variety of people with a variety of races with no stereotypes this will cause no complaints.
