When we sat with the client, we were briefed that this time around they were expecting a full-fledged campaign which would include an appealing logo, post for social media, colourful passes, flagpoles, stage décor, attractive invites to be sent to guests and dignitaries; individual identities, as ancient empires battling it out with each other, to all the 14 participating schools complete with an emblem each having a historical implication. Then there was the youtube video to be made highlighting all the teams in full regale and the ensuing legendary battle.
Solution
