The Objective
The objective for this campaign project in my Copywriting for Advertising class was to make the “I Can Read!” book series by HarperCollins Publishers (“My Very First” to “Advanced 4” reading levels) appealing to early readers and their millennial parents. The client wanted for the product to be presented as an opportunity for family time and wanted to remind the target market about the subscription to the “I Can Read!” book club and present it as a holiday gift.
The Big Idea
Children who have access to the “I Can Read!” series become engaged readers and learners. Paired with interactive activities and a parents’ encouragement, reading HarperCollins books regularly helps children develop a vast imagination along with skills to help them grow.
The Target Audience
Millennial parents with young readers in their families.
