Implementation.

When taking a look at this challenge we took a direct approach to our communication. Our goal was to keep messaging direct and to the point, i.e. “We’re talking to you… this is what you need to know and do”.

This was achieved through the creation of a suite of short engaging motion design content pieces (10-15sec) developed specifically for the proposed distribution channels. These animated videos utilised simple messaging and an engaging visual style to capture our audience’s attention and steer them to the Blue Card Services website to view a longer informative video, and find out more information.

Taking an approach like this allowed for adaptation of content to suit specific language and cultural needs through translation of script or subtitling.
