Aljazeera English Outdoor Campaign Aljazeera | Outdoor Campaign | June 2008 Creative Rationale for Aljazeera The creativity and motivation behind all of the creative options are rooted heavily in the public perception generated by our probing surveys of public opinion and research. These methods include vox pops, one-to-one surveys and research in to other lines of public enquiries surveying Aljazeera’s target audience: well educated, ambitious, inquisitive and hungry for an alternative perspective. The difference between each creative option is the way in which it stimulates the readers’ perception in crediting Aljazeera as a balanced and reliable source of international journalism.

Nicole ” West London Button Creative 32 Percy Street, London, W1T 2DE Aljazeera | Outdoor Campaign | June 2008 Option one The Face of Aljazeera This concept purposefully invokes an emotion in the reader. The imagery and questions juxtapose the British publics’ view of Aljazeera and the actual face of Aljazeera. Then by personalising the concept the impact of the images is softened – though still being impactful. The photography and thought-provoking questions intelligently guide the reader to the desired conclusion that Aljazeera, as a news source, is a serious provider of international news.

The vision of a female news-reader veiled and unveiled, in traditional Islamic dress, allows the reader to fully identify with Aljazeera as a credible force. The reader identifies with the images and as a result identifies with Aljazeera – creating a rollercoaster effect resulting in the reader viewing the channel as a reliable news broadcaster on foreign affairs. This is particularly relevant to the female reader. Using this image the female element of the target audience is invited to access Aljazeera – something they might previously felt excluded from by other media portrayals.

The emotive photography allows the reader to view the hard hitting, solid reporting Aljazeera endeavours to produce as well as asking the reader to look at the familiar images of war from a different perspective.
