The Pitch (24/10/14)

Hello one and all!

5 days to go until the pitch, don't panic... unless it's awful and that's why I'm providing you with these helpful hints!

Hopefully the exemplar of Taylor Swift - Diet Coke will have helped but here is some additional help.

  • Bring your Pitch with you; this isn't as stupid as it sounds, you'd be surprised! Either via a USB, on-line, through the medium of dance or however you have chosen to present it. Just make sure you do not need to log in to a Mac - you will be using a logged in machine.
  • Please create a script - don't just blag it. It will be noticeable and you won't be able to achieve a high grade without the structure and support.
  • Remember to speak slowly, engage us with eye contact and most importantly have fun.
  • Have a video of an existing product of either your brand (to show parity) or a similar advert to which you want to produce (to show what your thinking). HOWEVER please embed the video into your PPT and not link it via a hyperlink (this will slow you down, and make it less professional). If you aren't using technology for the presentation, just show the video via YouTube.
  • Youtube --> Clip convertor --> download .mp4 --> add to PPT (simple) 
What the PPT needs.
  • Brand Elements
  • Target Audience (GRASS)
  • Similar Products/Competitors: why does your brand stand out?
  • If you are using Celebrity Endorsement: why that celebrity?
  • Advert: narrative structure
  • Advert: persuasive technique
  • Advert: technical codes (visual & audio)
