During the semester, you will conduct an individual reaction paper. You will work on an advertising/IMC campaign. This is a case study assignment on a selected advertising campaign, but we will focus on the IMC aspects of the campaigns beyond advertising. Find an IMC campaign and analyze its message and media strategy based on IMC principles you learned in class and your text. Try to address how each area of the campaign collaborates to make the brand stronger in an integrated manner. In the paper, you will introduce the campaign briefly in the beginning. Tell me the brand, advertiser (if different from the brand name), campaign period, goal(s) of the campaign, major message and media strategy, and your analysis/reaction (This is the most important component for evaluation; your critique). What is good and what should be improved? This assignment is to help you critically analyze IMC campaigns.

How am I representing Christ? Are my actions Christian? Is my leadership Christian? Is Christ guiding my thoughts and decisions, especially relative to the work of the Kingdom of God?

At the very center of my campaign graphic is a Christian cross. The cross symbolizes a Christ that is centered in this campaign and a campaign that is centered in Christ.

1. Christian Leadership

As Christian Leaders we must constantly do a self-assessment that asks the questions – How am I representing Christ? Are my actions Christian? Is my leadership Christian? Is Christ guiding my thoughts and decisions, especially relative to the work of the Kingdom of God? Christian Leaders must both possess and engage this essential quality to be known as children of God.

For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God. Romans 8:14 NRSV

  1. Christian Formation

Christian Formation is how we grow into the image and character of Christ through the work of the Holy Ghost in our lives. This is not a quick fix, once and for all work, but rather a slow, day by day, moment by moment process as believers daily engage God’s precepts while seeking to be formed like Jesus, by Jesus. The work of Christian Formation is the undisputed responsibility of the church.  The Lord Jesus Christ expects the church, the ecclesia/called out ones, to be and make disciples and help them grow to maturity.

Do not be conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of the mind, so that you may discern what is the will of God—what is good and acceptable and perfect. Romans 12:2 NRSV

3. Christian Theology

Theology is the study of God. Christian Theology is the learning and study of God from a Christian perspective, incorporating both its beliefs and practices.  Learning, teaching, preaching, and living the Word of God has been and will be the only thing that saves and sustains the church of God.  The word of God is what we need more than anything!

The grass withers; the flower fades, but the word of God will stand forever. Isaiah 40:8 NRSV
