Ms. Marcus, CEO
Dear Junior Ad Executives,
This is a very exciting time for our company. Recently, the governors for all of the American colonies have announced that they are seeking to increase the number of citizens emigrating from England. In order to get the most people to live in their colonies, they are looking for fresh ad campaigns that help sell people on moving in to the different colonies. Our company has been contracted to design ad campaigns for the colonies.
Your team’s challenge is to create an advertising campaign.
Your clients are looking for ads that highlight their strengths in the following categories:
Information on the Colony's Origins
Why was the colony founded?
Environmental Information
What are the physical characteristics and climate?
Economic Information
How do people make a living?
Political Information
What form of government does the colony have?
Social Information
What is life like in the colonies?
Other
What else would convince a new immigrant to move to your colony?
Teamwork
You will be working with a three-person team for your assigned client. As you think about the tasks ahead of you, please make sure that your team plans together with a common goal in mind. Throughout the entire process, be sure to document the steps your team takes to create your final product. You will be expected to share these steps as a part of your presentation, focusing on major decisions, accomplishments, and challenges for your team.
After presentations are done, individual team members will be asked to reflect on the process and will be asked for specific examples when another team member helped them.
