Lesson 5: Campaign Assets — Posters, Teasers, Social Posts

 Learning goals

By the end of this lesson, you can:

  • Create a campaign asset that supports your video
  • Write a strong caption that invites action (not drama)
  • Make a poster/teaser that is clear and shareable

 

  1. A) Choose ONE campaign asset type

Pick one:

Option 1: Poster (digital)

  • Size: 1080×1350 (Instagram) OR A4 (print)
  • Include: title, issue, 1 key message, CTA, your name/program
  • Keep it clean: 1 image + 3–10 words headline

Option 2: Teaser (10–15 sec video)

  • Show 2–4 quick shots + 1 strong line of text
  • End with CTA: “Watch full video / Join / Share”
  • Export vertical (9:16) if for TikTok/Reels

Option 3: 3 Social Posts (text + optional image)

Each post should include:

  • 1 insight or moment from the story
  • 1 fact/observation (only if verified)
  • 1 CTA
  • 1 hashtag set (3–6 max)

 

  1. B) Great campaign copy formula (simple)

Use: Problem + Human reality + Hope + CTA
Example caption:
“Plastic waste blocks our drainage and floods our streets. This is what we filmed in our community. Let’s take action—share this and join a clean-up this weekend.”

 

  1. C) Design rules (make it look professional)
  • One main headline (big)
  • One short supporting line
  • High contrast text
  • Keep logos small (bottom corner)
  • Avoid clutter and too many fonts

 

Activity (30–60 minutes)

Create your chosen campaign asset:

  • Poster (PNG/JPG) or
  • Teaser (MP4) or
  • 3 posts (text)

Save it for submission.
