Two roles within one campaign

The ad bike carried the advertising display, while the staffing element supported leaflet distribution. Combining the formats created a brief with two distinct tasks: put the message into the area and give people information they could take away.

Those tasks need their own preparation. A display requires suitable creative and an operating plan; distribution requires materials, a handover arrangement and clear instructions for the person carrying it out. Treating them separately in the scope helps the advertiser understand what is being supplied.

A defined location for the activity

The Birmingham work focused on a named part of the city centre. That makes the case useful for parking and mobility advertisers: the place where a message appears is part of its relevance. A broad city name is a starting point; specific locations and operating times make the brief actionable.

For a new parking campaign, provide the facility or service information, the relevant entrances or approaches, the intended audience and an accurate destination for further details. Any price or availability message needs to match the advertiser’s current information.

Reporting the activity

The campaign report covered the deployment and leaflet activity, with observations from the promotional team. Together with campaign photography, this gives an account of how the formats were used in Birmingham.

For a future brief, decide which distribution counts or observations you want recorded before the activity starts. If the objective is an enquiry or parking booking, arrange a suitable response route and review the advertiser’s booking data separately. A campaign photograph and a leaflet count answer different questions from a completed booking.

Planning a combined format campaign

Describe each task, not just the number of people or bikes. Identify the locations, hours, artwork, printed materials and person who can approve changes on the day. Ask for the quote and reporting plan to reflect the separate roles.

Compare ad bikes, human billboards and promotional staff, explore transport and travel campaigns or send your local campaign brief.

Another brief. Another approach.
