Defined Project Description

For purposes of seeking a supervisor, I shall now attempt to organize my project description in a cohesive manner.

My initial topic to explore was Advertising in the Web 2.0, however, this would be irrelevant if there were no context to visualize it in. Therefore, it is fortunate that I have a group who wish to start a small business of their own, which would consequently become my honours project.

The project would be a fashion retail store set up within the blogosphere. The main target market that my 'partners' wish to use are middle to upper class female university students, or of ages 16- 25. My job would be helping them out with the branding, and advertising of this blogshop.

The concept of this blogshop would be based on my research of Advertising and social trends of the Web 2.0. I have already begun drafting some ideas at this point. My outcome would most likely be the website where the blogshop resides; and some viral ads for the blogshop.

These are some rough sketches for my current idea. To draw the audience back continually, they should have a reason for more than just clothing. I suggest the idea of selling the clothes within a photoblog drama series, reversing the traditional story within the fashion photoshoot that we see in magazines, to the clothes within the drama series.


My project will also involve a Business Plan,Social network plan, Order forms, photoshoots, storyboarding.

This is an ongoing project and may be subject to change at any stage.

How to write a Media Plan

Taken from Wikipedia Components of a media plan Define the marketing problem. Where is the business coming from and where is the potential for increased business? Does the ad need to reach everybody or only a select group of consumers? How often is the product used? How much product loyalty exists? Translate the marketing requirements into media objectives. Must the ad reach people in a wide area? Then mass media, like newspaper and radio, might work. If the target market is a select group in a defined geographic area, then direct mail could be best. Define a media solution by formulating media strategies. For example, the rule of thumb is that a print ad must run three times before it gets noticed. Radio advertising is most effective when run at certain times of the day or around certain programs, depending on what market is being reached. Advertising media includes Television ( TVC, television commercial) Radio Newspapers Magazines (consumer and trade) Outdoor bil

The Evolving Urban City: Thriving Kuala Lumpur

The Evolving Urban Form: Kuala Lumpur A very well researched and presented article written by Wendell Cox 01/12/2013 It has very comprehensive graphs on the growth of Kuala Lumpur city, particularly useful for property investors that are seeking to understand geographical influences in property buying.
