Global Star Awards
Internal Promotions Proposal
2001: A Spain Odyssey
Smith Fairfield, Inc. has been given the mandate of taking the “Global Star Awards” to the next level. And it’s clear to us that by keeping “star treatment” at the core of our creative thinking, we will be well on our way of achieving that overall program goal. Integral to the success of going to the next level is bringing the internal promotions campaign there too. Consequently, SFI has focused its creative energies on fashioning messages that will be delivered via creative mediums designed to excite, engage and encourage staff to excel, knowing the star-studded reward that is to follow.
Star treatment. It’s all about me. And for four glorious days it will be “all about me” to Cable and Wireless’s top 100 sales staff as they feel like they’re living the life of a movie star. Which makes for a natural choice of themes. The “Global Star Awards” promotion is going Hollywood…..Spanish style!
And what would Hollywood be without movies, its stars and the movie moguls behind the scenes? SFI is bringing it all to a promotions campaign near you! Casting of the stars will play itself out over time. And the moguls have already chosen the producers to begin the making of this “next level” epic. We now just need a name for this campaign disguised as a movie. And considering SFI plans a larger than life experience that will undoubtedly make staff look forward to the future, what better name could be chosen than “2001: A SPAIN ODYSSEY.”
By way of internal advertising, promotions and public relations, SFI hopes to capture the imaginations of staff and convince them they’re involved in a bigger than life event worthy of the Hollywood screen!
