Campaign design

14 SEP 2012  to  31 OCT 2012

Concept

The concept of a list of ten things you want to do before taking your next big leap in life was developed. The term was originally used in a Honda campaign for the CR-V.

Promotional materials

Print and digital materials were created with a contemporary design that incorporated the University of Bath Visual Identity.

Aurasma was used in print materials to create augmented reality features that enabled video content to be accessible from the brochure.

Engagement

1 NOV 2012  to  27 FEB 2013

Leap List creation

The Leap List was created by open submission of ideas from students and staff. The highest ranked activities were compiled into the final list.

Photo challenge

Students and staff were encouraged to take part in a competition of photographing themselves in several of the List's attractions.
