Marketing with little or no budget. Reaching a younger generation that gets its information through social media. Finding creative ways for people to volunteer their time or donate their money for a worthy cause. These are a few issues nonprofit organizations deal with on a regular basis.

And so four Georgia nonprofits received some assistance this fall when University of North Georgia (UNG) students selected them as clients for their graphic design for advertising class.

University of North Georgia students in the graphic design for advertising class taught by Mark Taylor, a part-time adjunct faculty member for visual arts at UNG, devised an entire advertising campaign for four nonprofit organizations. The campaign included designing a logo and direct mailer, generating a magazine or newspaper ad and an outdoor billboard, crafting a 15-second radio ad, and producing a 15-second television storyboard concept.

Want a BK Whopper for a Cent? Drive by McDonalds’ and it’s Yours!

Cheeky campaign by digital agency, FCB of New York hacks geofencing technology.

 

McDonald’s outnumbers Burger King in terms of restaurants in the United States by two-to-one. This is great for McDonald’s but not so much for FCB New York client Burger King.

So, how do you tackle this issue without physically opening more establishments? This cheeky campaign by FCB did exactly that by selling Burger King Whoppers at McDonald’s. But that’s not it. They cost 1 cent.

What’s the catch? Well, the newly updated Burger King app includes an order-ahead feature. FCB tweaked the app to geofence McDonald’s restaurants so that this ‘Whopper Detour’ promotion only unlocks when people are within 600 feet of a McDonald’s.

Burger King is lovin’ it right in its biggest competitors face – but you know there will be payback….
