Press

Up Create will use a wide range of promotional channels to

market the campaign to students in Newcastle-upon-Tyne.

Firstly, it is imperative to gain a lot of press attention by featuring

an advertisement in local Newcastle newspapers such as The

Chronicle and national newspapers such as The Guardian. This will

aid Up Create in creating a buzz before it launches itself locally

for the first time in the late part of 2013. By sending out a press

release to these newspapers it will promote the campaign and the

launch event 'The Up Market Fair'. To ensure a full coverage from

a mix of student audiences with different interests an advertisement

will also be placed in Grazia, Elle and 442 Sports Magazine.

Please see example of press release on the next page .

SU Advertising To capture the interest and attention of a variety of students

attending the universities, Up Create will tap into one of the biggest

marketing tools and use the student organisations such as Newcastle

and Northumbria Student Unions. This will guarantee advertising

coverage through a variety of sources around the University city

campuses. For example, the Unions will send out E communication

and mailing to students reminding them and promoting the Up

Create cause. This will go out to students returning in September 2013

thereby being the first mail they receive at the start of their year.

Up Create will also be featured in the University magazines to

tell the students about the events to come and a little bit about

the Up Create cause. Please see a mock up of the magazine on

the following two double page spreads. The Unions will also

provide stalls on the campuses for Up Create to talk to passing

students about the campaign and handing out the campaign pack.

One of the main events the campaign will be

advertising at is the Fresher's Fair. Up Create will also have a

promotional viral video made which will be put on Facebook

and broadcast on the Up Create website, www.upcreate.co.uk. Up

Create will also be broadcast around the University campuses on

their vast amount of plasma screens situated in popular student

areas such as the libraries, gyms, Student Unions and caf's.

This coming September 2013 Up Create, the highly inspirational and social campaign aimed at University students, will be coming to Newcastle-upon-Tyne for the first time.

Up Create aims to be the driving force of student creativity this year spreading awareness of growing waste problems as they go through an assortment of fun activities, projects and competitions. Up Create will bring a wave of fun, colour and amusement as it sweeps across Newcastle brightening up the path as it goes.

By introducing the concept of up-cycling they hope to get students interacting and taking part. Up-cycling is the process of converting waste materials or useless products into new materials

or products of better quality or for better environmental value. Georgia Macaskie from Up Create says, "We will offer students the chance to secure a better future and will give them the opportunity to win competitions, to meet new people and to take part in once in a lifetime events.

"Up Create will bring a wave of fun, colour

and amusement as it sweaps

across Newcastle brightening up paths as it goes"

Up Create bringing a touch of colour!

Most importantly it will allow students to be themselves and to let their creative side shine out. By introducing the Up Market Exchange project (our online student furniture swapping group), introducing up-cycling competitions and inspiring up-cycling workshops we will secure a better future for the planet and decreasing student waste in one city at a time."

Another anonymous Up Create spokesman says; "Up Create is brilliant because it offers so many opportunities to an array of students. It shows them incredibly creative ways to use their waste, something they'll take with them for the rest of their lives. With a splash of colour and a dash of attention any old bit of trash can be turned into treasure and giving it a new breath of life. We look forward to all your support and hope you take part in all the things we have to offer

It has recently come to our attention that Red Bull will be getting involved in the Up Create cause. Rumour has

it they will be introducing their owncompetition, and to compete you have to create something from using only a Red Bull can. The winner needs to be creative, innovative and come up with something unusual. There has also been talk that Newcastle Fashion Week hopes to get involved for all you young local designers and many more exciting opportunities to get involved with.

Campaign Pack

The campaign pack will be handed out to thousands of students

at all types of events promoting the Up Create campaign and its

website launch event at 'The Up Market Fair', the biggest student

event of the year taking place soon after students arrive back in

October. The pack will be packaged using up-cycled newspaper

holding six cards giving information on the campaign as a whole,

promoting the website launch event and giving advice on how to

up-cycle and use a stencil. It will have Up Creates fortune table

which students can cut out and use, it will contain stickers with

the Up Create slogan, 'Who You Calling Rubbish?', their very own

A-Z stencil set and pencil advertising the Up Create cause, and

an invitation and poster to the Up Create website launch event.

The idea of the student

pack is to give them

things they'll read and

want to use again. This

is why there are stencils

and stickers. However

more creativly Up

Create have given

invitations to their

launch event made

out of seeded paper so

instead of being thrown

away students can

grow it into wild flowers.

The campaign also

contains a pencil that

used to be a plastic cup.

Social Media

Page 13

The key focal point of the campaign is the Up Create website, www.

upcreate.co.uk, where a community will grow, change and build,

eventually spreading across the nation to all other major cities.

To get this trend to work Up Create needs to generate as much

traffic as possible to its website by using commonly used student

social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.

By signing up to the Up Create Facebook students will get the

chance to chat to the Up Create team and they will receive lots

of notifications about up coming events and competitions. It will

show them fun up cycling projects; displaying to them how easy it

is to do it yourself at home. This will be the first vital step

to building an Up Create community. Students can also

share it with their friends allowing Up Create to spread.

It is also very important to have an offline effect providing

memorable events. To that end Up Create intends to host club

nights at the club Tup Tup Palace, while collaborating

with the popular student's drink brand, Red Bull.

The Website Launch Event

As previously mentioned Up Create is putting together an event to

launch the website that will be up and ready in the New Year 2014.

The Up Market Fair will be a day for students to set up stalls and sell

their unwanted possessions, acting like an offline experience to the Up

Market Exchange project to which it is promoting. There will be local

student bands playing in a marquee with plenty of food and drink

for students to indulge. There will be small marquees with up-cycling

workshops so students can take their furniture or unwanted possessions

to funk them up and learn how up-cycling works. To make it more

exciting there will be a Northumbria vs Newcastle race around the city

to collect waste and materials for the afternoon workshops for each of

the university workshop stands. There will also be stands with Up-

Cycling and Red Bull teams giving out information and talking to

the students. With lots of activities taking place it will get students

interacting and getting involved. Some of the activities include a raffle

and live sumo-wrestling matches. There will be many chances for

students to win prizes and to take part in up-cycling competitions. The

day will start at 10am and finish at 7pm. The Up Market Fair will

bring people together and get universities working together as a team.

It will show students how to be creative with their unwanted waste by

teaching them new tricks to avoid everything ending up in landfill.

Page 15

Website

The Up Create website will be the place where students will go to

find out about and get involved in upcoming events and competitions.

It will also be educational so they can find out what happened at

previous events and get many up-cycling tips and ideas. It will be

a clear and visually stimulating experience with a lot of pictures,

videos and chat rooms for students to enjoy. The biggest Up

Create project will be getting students to sign up to the Up Market

Exchange, where they can join their area group (for now it will be

the Newcastle group) and can look and get rid of unwanted furniture

in an environmentally friendly way. To increase the traffic to this

Northumbria University, Newcastle University and Red Bull will have

an advertising banner that will link students to www.upcreate.co.uk.

Advertising

Up Create will have posters put up around the University campuses

and there will be random stencilled lettering of the campaign's slogan

'Who You Calling Rubbish?' projected on buildings and bridges, and

stencilled onto bins and bits of waste. This will tie in nicely with the

stickers that will be found in the student campaign packs as students

can also stick their own 'Who You Calling Rubbish?' onto objects,

windows, folders, bicycles, rear car windows, etc, getting involved in

the campaign's promotion. The slogan will soon become a highly

recognised and memorable sentence. Up Create also hopes to ethically

graffiti the slogan onto buildings using moss graffiti, creating shapes

and pictures alongside the slogan. These will be found plastered along

student walkways and typically known routes used by students.

Creative Advertising

For more creative advertising Up Create will be wiring up old bins

around the university campuses so when used, the bins will clap and

applaud when the lids are opened for rubbish to be thrown away.

These censored speakers will only activate randomly to shock and

surprise the user at that time. It will be to touch on the students

senses, make them laugh and catch them by surprise. Research

states that humour is one of the strongest forms of advertising thus

is more memorable and effective. Therefore, Up Create intends to

humour and surprise, and on plenty of occasions to shock students!

Waste materials, donated from Newcastle City Council, up-cycled

into fun cafe furniture will be found outside University campus

cafes for students to use and admire. By getting local Newcastle

designers to make the furniture over the summer, in collaboration

with the established Newcastle company Re-Funk Your Junk,

it will be ready upon the arrival of the students in September.

The up-cycled cafes will remind students how easy and fun up-

cycling can be, as well as showing the different types of materials

that can be used. For example of corks into sofas, CDs into chairs

light bulbs into candles and wine bottles into lighting fixtures.

Page 21

Up Create hopes to be a fun, informative and

interactive campaign that has something for every

student. The success in Newcastle is a good indication

that it will catch like wild fire as it spreads all across

the country, inspiring and creating awareness and

changing the way students live and think forever.

Up Creates Future

Up Create hopes to create and design a phone app following the website

over the summer of 2014. It be an app which will compliment the

Up Create website; making it even easier for students to sign up to

their area Up Market Exchange group and even easier to up load a

picture of their un wanted furniture. Students are renowned for being

on their phone 24/7 so there is much proof that Up Create and its

opportunities will secure even more popularity thus spread further quicker.

Up Create aims to spread nationally; starting in Newcastle. It will eventually

make its way to five other UK university cities; for example Manchester,

Nottingham, Leeds and Cardiff and Bristol. It will influence students and

University life style one city at a time and its online community will grow

and change and develop to be bigger and better soon to be known by all.
