1Client Overview

We will inform and draw awareness of skin cancer for the Cancer Research UK. We will advertise using SPF lip products as a gateway to protecting users from a larger issue. By informing young people of the dangers of skin cancer and providing a new way to protect themselves, we will create a more effective campaign than currently running.
Currently, Cancer Research UK has paired with Nivea in their latest skin cancer advert campaign. However, this campaign only targets families on holiday rather than informing of the issue itself. Our research has determined that 52.3% of young women are uninformed of the dangers of skin cancer. Our campaign will inform viewers of the dangers of skin cancer, thereby encouraging them to take preventative action.

Unlike other skin cancer campaigns that focus on sunscreen, we want to build off of the Nivea-Cancer Research campaign by providing an alternative method of sun prevention besides sunscreen. Wearing lip balm with an SPF is a more feasible solution than sunscreen because it requires much less commitment and is easier to put on. We will target young women (ages 18-25) to wear lip balm daily as a preventive measure against the sun.

2Message Overview Creative Strategy
The purpose of this advert’s message is to emphasise the simplicity of preventing lip cancer as well as reminding receivers on how important healthy lips are for expressing emotions in everyday situations.

The advert will consist of a mostly visual message with only little, but effective, verbal communication.
