Encourage support for Plan’s ‘Because I am a Girl’ campaign

Background

Plan is a global children’s charity. We work with the world’s poorest children so they can move themselves from a life of poverty to a future with opportunity. 

Our 75 year history has shown us that, worldwide girls’ face overwhelming odds from the moment they are born.

Globally, one in three girls is denied an education by the daily realities of poverty, discrimination and violence. Every day, young girls are missing from school, forced into marriage and subjected to violence.

Not only is this unjust. It’s also a huge waste of potential. But together we have the power to prevent girls from being forgotten.

What is the Solution?

Supporting girls’ education is one of the single best investments we can make to help end poverty. With education and the right support, girls can choose their own future and be a force for change.

A girl who has completed her education is...

Less likely to experience violence or marry and have children whilst she is still a child

More likely to be literate, healthy and survive into adulthood, as are her children

More likely to reinvest her income back into her family, community and country

More likely to understand her rights and be a force for change

The power of this is astonishing. It saves lives. It transforms futures. It will unleash the incredible potential of girls and their communities. Winning the war on poverty starts with educating girls.

What is Plan doing to help girls?

Through our programmes on the ground Plan is helping to ensure girls in the developing world can get the education they have a right to. Plan works to change policies and attitudes by working with girls, communities, traditional leaders, governments, global institutions and the private sector to address the barriers that prevent girls from completing their education.

Plan’s ‘Because I am a Girl’ campaign will support four million girls to get the education, skills and support they need to move themselves from poverty to opportunity. 

Following extensive campaigning by Plan’s ‘Because I am a Girl’ supporters across the world, the United Nations declared October 11th as the official ‘International Day of the Girl’ – an important focal point for action in support of girls everywhere.

But, we can’t afford to lose momentum now.

The Creative Challenge

Investing in girls’ education is the right, fair and smart thing to do and will help end poverty for generations to come. But we can’t do this alone. We need support from all around the globe to keep the pressure on world leaders to ensure that they use their influence to make this a reality.

Your brief is to deliver a creative resource that will inspire and motivate our target audience to support Plan’s ‘Because I am a Girl’ campaign.

The creative can take any form (for example print or online advertising, a video infographic, an experiential movement), but it must leave audiences with an understanding of:

The challenges that girls living in poverty face and their incredible potential

The power of educating girls – the solution

The urge to take action and get involved by joining Plan’s ‘Because I am a Girl’ campaign

Women, men, boys and girls are all part of Plan’s ‘Because I am a Girl’ campaign. We are only ever going to challenge discrimination and build a better future if men and boys are part of this work to ensure improved policies, education, choices and opportunities are for all.

Target Audience

Plan UK’s primary audience is females aged 25-34 years old (the demographic classification of ABC1).

Meet Natasha…

Natasha is 28, works in marketing and lives with her boyfriend in London. She works long hours and has a hectic social life. She has an iPhone and loves it because it helps her to stay in touch on the go. She exercises regularly and tries to eat healthily. She is politically aware and tends to think of herself as being slightly left wing.

Natasha loves glossy magazines and she reads the Guardian or Observer at weekends. During the week she tends to rely on the Metro and the Evening Standard. She visits online news portals, like the BBC or Sky News, as well as entertainment, travel, music, food and health websites. Facebook and Twitter are used for keeping in touch with friends. She also enjoys shopping online.

Natasha regularly donates to charities, especially those involving social and human rights issues, and also those associated with children. She also donates to cancer charities and BBC Children in Need. Whilst she doesn’t view herself as a ‘campaigner’, she always signs petitions if she feels they relate to worthy causes.

Brand Essence

Brands sum up what they do in a simple philosophy. ‘We do what you would do’ is ours.

Our essence is based on our belief that people want to do good. We want to ask the question: ‘what would you do?’ - inviting people to stop and think what they would do to combat child poverty in the developing world.

We want to provoke people into recognising that they can make a difference. That any contribution, big or small, is valued. And then show how Plan makes that happen.

Brand Values

We have five values to guide you in everything you do:

We’re passionate about achieving positive change with, and for, children.

We show the value of everything we do.

We believe everyone has a contribution to make.

We trust in the power of people to find their own solutions.

We’re dedicated to keeping it simple.

Ted Baker is continuing its plan for global growth, with new locations opening in China, Japan, the USA and the Middle East – each time taking a little bit of Britain with them. When opening a new location in another country, it’s not easy for a brand like Ted to translate its unique cultural flavour. It’s your job to bring its British sense of humour and unique approach to fashion to another country – which country is up to you.
Your campaign will need to activate potential shoppers to visit Ted Baker stores and Ted Baker online; interact with the brand; and most importantly, toshop and share.

 • Ted Baker are looking for an integrated campaign, working across at least three different media.
 • All work must be submitted in English, whichever country you choose to take Ted to.

9. Alessi in Love

http://desall.com/Contest/Alessi-In-Love--Every-time-an-act-of-love/Brief

Brief

Summary

It’s time to let your heart speak. The historical Italian Design Factory Alessi invites all creative talents to rethink the product as an act of love. The aim is to interpret the love token in a contemporary way, designing a new object that celebrates this universal feeling: the best proposals will grant you the access to an international workshop for the development of the new Alessi collection.

Description

Alessi in Love is the metaproject organized in collaboration with LPWK DESIGN STUDIO, set up by Laura Polinoro. Researcher, creative and founder of Centro Studi Alessi since 1990. She has now created her own line of accessories and organizes, as art director of LPWK DESIGN STUDIO, international workshops aimed at creating new design objects for Alessi. Laura
continuously researches new languages and creative ways, such as in the collaboration with Desall, experimenting a new approach through the web.

Theme
The metaproject is directed to find new ways of considering the love gift, related to the celebration of significant moments or the expression of your own feelings.

Therefore the starting point is the man and no longer the object, meant as a product. The focus is on the creation of emotional objects, overcoming the industrial and anonymous production logic. For this reason, a good tip to start with is considering all the unforgettable events linked to the universal feeling of love: not only those towards the partner but also the fondness for a friend or the respect for a colleague.

Now it’s your turn to translate feelings into reality, coming up with small objects designed to be given. Last but not least pay attention that love is an universal feeling, but how people express it is personal and may change over time. A letter or a jewel are only examples of ways to express this unique and deep feeling.

Guidelines
Product typology: small bijoux, wedding favors, accessories for the person or for home;
Situations: the places and the occasions for the expression of feelings from engagements to wedding Anniversaries, from the birth of a baby to the demonstration of a friendship, from acknowledgment of a professional relationship to that of a community. Moreover the object could be an original idea for a Christmas gift;
Materials: steel, aluminum, plastic, blown glass, ceramic and silicon;
Technological sources: deep-drawing, investment casting, punching, embossing, laser cutting, sandblasting.

Award
The selection of the winner of Alessi in Love will be the result of an unquestionable evaluation of a selected jury headed by Alberto Alessi. It will take into account originality, feasibility and consistency to the brief. The best proposals will grant access to the international workshop, where designers will cooperate with a qualifi ed team for the development of the new Alessi collection.
Once the workshop is over, if the project developed becomes an Alessi product, Alessi itself will manage the contractual relationship with the designer for the provision of royalties.
