Week 3 - Proposal

Vans Positioning Statement: “Kids don’t relate to direct hard-sell advertising. They see through a company that’s just spending a lot of money to attract their attention. Our strategy is to ingratiate ourselves more into their lifestyle.” (Gary Schoenfeld, CEO).

Objective:

To create an interactive social media campaign to promote Vans products and this year’s Vans Warped Tour.

When:

The campaign is to run starting May 24, 2011 and ending August 20, 2011

How:

By using Twitter, Tumblr, Facebook, Youtube, and Flickr we plan to create an interactive experience, where people can share how they use Vans products while at a Vans event. Small prizes will be rewarded as an incentive to the best/creative photos or videos, showing Vans gear worn at this year’s Vans Warped Tour. Photos/videos must be posted on two of our outlets (ex. Facebook and Twitter) to be eligible to win. The more they post the more chances they have to win and intern the more promoting they do for Vans.

Why Us:

We are at the forefront of social media promotions in the GTA using various methods to get people to interact with us in a fun and unique way while still encompassing our client’s business motto.

Week 2

Project approval was given to focus on Vans Warped Tour instead of Vans as a whole. With that information we brainstormed as a group for the re-branding of this years Warped Tour logo. 

Brainstorming Notes:

What we wanted to keep:

- The original Vans logo this would make the transition from the old logo to the new one easier to identify with, and make it instantly recognizable to associate with Vans company

- The arrow. We want to keep the arrow they currently have however change the way the arrow appears or is used.

What we wanted to change:

- the current colour scheme

- typeface on logo

- overall shape of logo

Open thoughts

to incorporate a theme to this years Warped Tour that goes with this years slogan “We Are Warped”

- possible themes  

  • Circus
  • Carnival
  • Zombies
  • Aliens

After the brainstorming we decided on a Carnival/ Circus theme to incorporate into the logo. Research of Circus typefaces, colours, and sign shapes was done. Then some rough sketches where made with possible logo options. Once the sketches where completed vector options where created.
