My entry for the final project of Proposal Writing and Presentation Class. Gratefully, it's picked as the best one in my class because it's low budget and applicable to the real problem.
James Hezekiah
3. Problem.
Climate change and its impact are
happening right now. The
projection shows that it will be
getting worse in the future.
It's not only real, but also
dangerous.
The worst part, there's a finding
that states even if we end carbon
dioxide emissions today, the
effects still can happen for
thousand years from now.
Do people still have a chance
to make it better?
Climate change doesn't happen on
its own. Climate scientist are 95%
confident that humans are
responsible for this issue
(source: cnn.com). It's a huge
problem, but to most people it's
invisible. How come? People just
don't care about it because they
think it doesn't affect them directly.
“Once they got a
great knowledge,
they keep
procrastinating.”
4. Target

Theyʼre the future

5. Communication
Objectives

about climate change as a ʻrealʼ
issue, not an endless, yet boring
one.
2. Encourage people to have a
concern with climate change.
3. Encourage people to take real
actions to reduce the effect of
climate change.
Key Message
“Nice environment is not a
fantasy. We can
make it better.”
6. Strategies
The strategy is all about making
protecting planet as a
sustainable lifestyle.
To implement the strategy, We
choose three main media:
1. Billboard
2. Instagram
3. Website, Twitter, and
Facebook.
1. Create a
curiosity gap.
“Make it a habit
to make it
better!”
First, weʼd like to make people
curious and increase awareness
about the real campaign.
How?
Using billboard ad at main streets
in Jakarta (Sudirman, Thamrin,
Gatot Subroto, etc.)
7. “I love Jakartaʼs
weather today.
Donʼt you?”
If you donʼt feel what I feel, letʼs make it better!
@MakeItBetterID
“Can you feel that
today is f******
wonderful?”
If you canʼt feel it, letʼs make it better!
@MakeItBetterID
The message is created not to
directly show that itʼs a climate
change campaign because
people are fed up with this kind
of issue. Instead, we compose a
simple and contradicting
message.
Then, we direct them to our
instagram for the real action.
