3. 1.Executive Summary: Terrorist acts have taken over many countries in the Middle East
exceeding those with foreign military occupation such as Iraq and Palestine. After the
September11 attacks on The USA, the world is now astound by terrorism that have shook
great countries such as England, Spain and more recently France. Since the assassination
of former Prime Minister Rafic Hariri, Lebanon became a constant victim of this
phenomenon: it witnessed a series of terrorist acts targeting civil areas in cities, and
political personalities and media personnel. In return, this has pushed the Lebanese
government and specifically the Directorate General of the Internal Security forces to
take actions for Lebanese citizens. An advertising campaign had to be launched to make
the people aware of the proper precautions against such acts. After research has been
done, we discovered that the way Lebanese dealt with similar situations in the past
differed from today’s attitudes. A full campaign including TV commercial, radio,
magazines, and newspapers had to be launched in a campaign period of one year.
Precautions have been taken so that the tourism sector will not be affected. PR events
were also included. A website is also set for the purpose of measuring the impact of our
campaign and to provide continuity for it.
2.Mission Statement: Our mission is to satisfy our society's demand for security by
providing the Lebanese citizens with the know-how to deal with terrorist acts.
3.Situation Analysis: •Lebanese people had to become completely aware about the
current situation, because it has taken its toll on the Lebanese society.
As “terrorism” means the use of force or threats to demoralize, intimidate and subjugate
especially as a political weapon, the continuous horror of bombings that Lebanon has
witnessed created a fear in Lebanon: “to return back to the three-decade Lebanese war
4. era.”
As the temper of terrorism and political conflicts arise in the Middle East, Lebanon is
now in the heart of such disastrous situations, for it has been shook by a series of terrorist
acts after the assassination of former Prime Minister Rafic Al Hariri. Further terrorist acts
such as bombings of cars and buildings followed this occurrence. Syria is the most
accused of the ongoing saga of political assassinations, which included other political
figures such as Marwan Hmadeh, Georges Hawi, Elias El-Murr, and journalists such as
Samir Kassir, and May Chidiac. Lately, with the assassination of Gebran Twaini after a
near two months sense of relief from terrorist acts, the overall sense of instability and
insecurity have taken over the minds of the Lebanese again. The UN Security Council
member’s close up look on the Lebanese situation is represented through the UN probe
into the assassination of Rafik Hariri. Internal resolutions included assigning new chiefs
of security. Here is the overall situation analysis in a mapping style including the
International and the internal approaches considered towards solving this phenomenon.

i. Current Users: The target audience is the young generation who are the heartbeat
5. of our country. They are the ones who carried the yell for Independence in March 14.

6. iii. Competitor Analysis: The Middle East and the Arab world in general are caught in
the claws of social and democratic pressures towards change. The Lebanese people are
depending on changes in the political application of security policies in hope for
downsizing terrorism. The most famous blocks against fighting terrorism in Lebanon are:
Proterrorism: which is defined by the phenomenon of
advocating terrorism by giving
it an active or a passive support. The following factors contribute for terrorism:
• Τhe Pro-Syrian Regime: which is characterized by symbols of the authoritarian
Syrian presence in Lebanon, which was officially sponsored by the Syrian
intelligence practices before its militant departure from Lebanon. By this we
mean, MP’s in the government and other political figures, which arrived at their
political seats with the help of the Syrian intelligence. The Baath Party and Al-
Quawmi El-Souri consider Lebanon as part of greater Syria, and refuse the fact of
Lebanon having its Independence.
• The Israelites: who are considered as rivals for the Lebanese progress. They
attacked Lebanon and destroyed it back in the war period. They are placed as
secondary suspects after Syria. They want Israel and not Lebanon to become the
key of the Middle East and the link between the West and the East.
• Internal political conflicts: A third suspect could be Internal hands, which want to
put down conflicts by threatening other political strategic gatherings and making
use of the world accusing the primary suspect, Syria.
• Armed presence of groups other than the Lebanese army: Iranian-based resistance
activists, Hizballah or the Palestinian refugees in Southern camps are reasons for
7. foreign-armed assaults.
4.SWOT Analysis:
Strengths:
•Strong global public point of view and support from western countries like France, the
USA, and England
•Protests by Lebanese citizens against assaults
•The widespread media coverage of the protests against terrorist attacks
•The strong will of citizens to change the current reality
•The anti-terrorism sentiments by Lebanese demonstrators
•Awareness and the security patrol by the Lebanese army and the Internal Security forces
Weaknesses:
•Lack of cooperation between the government and citizens for attacking this problem
•
•Terrorism-fighting tools are limited
•Distribution of terrorist sympathizers and supporters
•Weak law enforcements concerning safety measures and illegal cars
•Mistrust or lack of credibility in Lebanese Internal security forces
• Internal conflicts between parliamentary representatives and political parties,
which weakens the effort towards fighting terrorism
• The Lebanese security system is being criticized by parliamentary figures
Opportunities:
8. •More roadblocks to check on possible terrorist movements and capture illegal and stolen
cars
•Sealing the borders with Syria with more spread of Lebanese army there
•The democratic reforms in neighboring countries of the Middle East
•Security forces should be present night and day also
•Precautions taken by citizens
•Employing new investigative methods for stopping terrorist plans ahead of time
•Wiretapping on telephones
•Organizing citizen parking control in which every citizen in a building should know the
regular cars that park in their parking space
•Applying tougher laws against susceptible cars which may be stolen for terrorist
activities
•Establishing a special unit from the police called "counter terrorism forces" whose role
is to: start a series of raids throughout the country, to dismantle any sophisticated network
that support the terrorist bombings
•Closing the borders between Lebanon and Syria
•Heavy privatization program aiming to restructure the finances of the country
•Establishing antiterrorism laws, which specifically criminalize committing a terrorist
act, or even plotting it, and impose a prison sentence up to 20 years, like the laws present
in Belgium
•Assigning police officers, detectives, and special agents nationwide to monitor
threatening countries like Syria for potential terrorist plots
•Cooperating and exchanging information gathered from foreign governments and
9. foreign intelligence sources
•Marginalizing terrorist groups by implementing democracy in once dictatorship ruled
countries such as Iraq and Syria.
Threats:
• Financial risk for the country if terrorist acts resume
• Tension with Israel in the south, threats of an American attack in the region and
its repercussions on Lebanon.
• Fear of American presence in Lebanon will activate Jihadist actions in their place
of positioning
• Establishing links with Al-Qaeda based terrorist organization
• Setting up secret terrorist training camps in nearby countries
• Possible suicide bombings
• Radicalization of young Muslims
• A rapidly expanding and homegrown terrorist threat
• Connections created to individuals and groups that provide support to terrorist
operations in other countries
• The rising hatred and vengeance spirit shared between Lebanon and Syria, which
is making the divide grow deeper between them
• The remaining of the authoritarian pro-Syrian regime in Lebanon: Syrian
intelligence still exists
• The open borders with Syria allowing material support to terrorists in Lebanon
• Cars are being stolen and booby-trapped and placed for targeted assassinations
• Operating networks that recruit fighters for the insurgency in Iraq and possibly
10. Lebanon
• The illegal entry and residence in Lebanon for Syrians
• The possession of illegal weapons and criminal association with terrorist
enterprises and pro-Syrian intelligence
• The presence of weapons with Palestinian refugees
• Country risk and regional uncertainty
•
• The militia presence of the armed Iranian-based political party Houzballah
5. The Big Positioning: To Lebanese citizens who do not believe enough in the ability of
our Internal Security Forces to change our situation in Lebanon in facing terrorist acts,
and think that there are better efforts to be done for this case, we are the ones who are

achieve more and defeat terrorism.

9.Advertising Creative
As an aspect of social responsibility, our campaign is public service advertising. The idea
for our campaign was formed in order to create a fundamental reshaping of behaviors and
social attitudes towards terrorism. Some terrorist acts are being accepted just because the
victim was someone undesired or an enemy. Now, our campaign want to turn that attitude
around- to make young adults primarily and older adults secondarily refuse any act of
terrorism no matter what its motives are.
Raison D’etre of this Brief:
We need to come up with a campaign about “Anti-Terrorism”.
Following the crisis happening in Lebanon through a series of bombings and
assassinations of reporters and politicians, the Lebanese society urgently needs a
campaign to reject these terrorist activities and to inform Lebanese citizens about the
danger of these activities on humanity and on peaceful life.
Due to the critical situation that makes Lebanon under attack, the government wants the
people to contribute and help in protecting the public security. Moreover, the media is not
doing campaigns telling people what to do and when and how. The media concentration
17. is to cover the terrorist acts and analyzing the situation behind the act. That’s why Anti-
Terrorism organizations want to launch two-way campaign:
1- Is to make the citizens a part of the police system where they can effectively
contribute in public security.
2- Is to justify the first campaign by emotional and sensational advertising evoking
patriotism feeling defending our liberation and our unity
We can hope to:
•Witness positive perception of the security system in the country
• Support military movements on the ground
• Build a two way relation between the security forces and the population
• Establish an easy, fast, and interactive network between security forces and the
population by using hotlines and other means of communication between them,
where they can receive information that may help in preventing terrorism or
helping in investigations
• Instigate Immediate response of the population when they sense an act of
terrorism is due to occur
• Deal with the situation as an emergency, and evoke patriotism as the only way out
of this situation
• And most of all we hope to witness a new era of security that protects the citizens
and the personnel of the country
Who is the consumer?
The consumers are actually all the Lebanese citizens.
The first target will be the young people. The youth are the power of change and they are
18. those who can easily be motivated to inherit the police role and be part of the system.
They are angry about the assassinations and want change, so they can easily be
influenced by emotional audio/visuals of past terrorist activities. They can easily be
targeted and mostly they are the future of the country, this campaign will evoke their
patriotic feeling and attachment to the country.
The second target will be the older segment of the young generation, who know that the
only way out is to help the government in the construction of its security.
What the consumer thinks and does now?
The Lebanese people now are afraid. They don’t know their future. They feel that nothing
have changed after the withdrawal of Syrian forces; in contrast they feel that the safety of
themselves and their leaders is in danger of other terrorist acts. They also continue to
suffer from the economical situation. Lebanese now are afraid more than ever from
terrorism; the first time they feel it near them not just on the News. On a national scale,
we witness a general hopelessness and lack of trust in tomorrow. This is why we should
hang on to any beam of hope we can find. Our campaign has a very clear aim: safety of
the Lebanese people, reporters, and politicians from terrorism through a strategic plan
from the government and through the contribution of the Lebanese people in helping to
reestablish the security of the country.
What is the single MOST important thing to say?
Help us to fight terrorism
As a result, how will the consumer think and do in the future?
This campaign should tell the Lebanese people that Lebanon now is under attack and this
critical situation requires all Lebanese to be responsible in protecting their country from
19. destruction. We want them to be united, democratic, and helpful in preventing terrorism
and the investigations. We also want them to build their political decisions for the sake of
Lebanon and only Lebanon without sectarianism and discrimination among each other.
We want them to be united in fighting against terrorism in Lebanon.

inatructions given by the Ministry of Interior to the citizens to follow in order to
20. cooperate in the fight against terrorism. More of the TVC is explained in the Creative
brief.
Print Ad 1 Rationale “Defeat Terrorism”: In this ad, we wanted to say to our target
that terrorism is threatening the world, and mankind. The symbolic imagery is used to
express the fear intimidated by terrorism. The bomb is terrorism. We chose to apply the
duotone mode in our use of colors with the stress on the black color and white colors,
with more stress on the black and white colors, with more stress on the black to express
the mourning of the assassinations that Lebanon has witnessed due to terrorist acts.
Print ad2 Rationale” Before time runs out: The baby is crying as he is threatened by a
time bomb. From this ad, we incite our audience to see how terrifying and deadly
terrorism is. In this way, we are inviting them to action so that they fight terrorism before
time runs out and innocent people die. The Duotone effect is also applied to make the
viewers concentrate on the message and not on the details of our visuals.
Print Ad3 Rational “Wipe away my tears”: We hope that terrorist acts will stop one
day because it is not only hurting our present but also our future. When we say that, we
mean to express our thought that: “The children of today are the promise of tomorrow.”
We hope that terrorism will not threaten the lives of our children, so we are all be united
to care for and about children, so that no child will have to live in the darkness of
terrorism.
Radio Ad:
Is there a war for a good?
There is a goodwill war.
Is there a peace bomb?
21. Bombs can make you pieces
Is there an innocent crime?
Some crimes are justifiable.
Is killing innocent people justifiable?
Sometimes a kill is for a good cause
For a good cause, can I kill you?
What?!!!!!!
You never win, when a soul is in a coffin

TVC STORYBOARD
25. Print Ad 3:
v. Pretest survey: Before setting our campaign to start, we shall use stimulated test
marketing. We want to ask 30 to 40 qualified clients to answer the questions on our
familiarity and our preferences. We shall invite students aged between 18 and 24 to look
at our TV commercial and print ads, including where it requires to be changed. We have
reasons to believe that our ads suit 90 % the objectives of the campaign, but few
adjustments had to be made taking into consideration the sample’s remarks and the
survey results, we suggest the following:
26. •Re-shoot the print ad using a background for the bombed baby
•Put more dynamic in the visuals: the baby has to be in motion
and create an atmosphere with the baby
•The visuals reflect the concept: the babies have the adequate expression according to
the situations.
•The situations presented are motionless…the visuals of the baby is static and should be
more alive, more dynamic.
•The babies have to be in situation, in action….That’s why we should avoid empty
background)

Production of ads: A meeting should be set up between production house
(casting agency), advertising agency, and client.
On the pre-production meeting you agree on casting of talent and choosing the
appropriate location (indoor or outdoor).
The second meeting should schedule the following:
• At what time does the shooting start?
34. • What dresses to prepare?
• Who are the final cast of production?
• What are the location specifics?
• Go through the details of shooting:
• Day 1: Taking attendance at 7:30
• Day 2: Setting up for the shoot:
• Day 3 etc…
• 1st shot: where should it take place
• What is the scenario of the first shot?
• Setting up for the second shot.
• On every shot taken during the production of the TVC, a photographer
should take a still picture of the shot.
• The photos are then sent to the agency.
• The agency puts it on a CD.
• The agency sends it to the client for approval.
• The client sees the layout and approves.
• Then the still layout is sent of the magazine.
• A post-production meeting is then scheduled. After that the client
approves on colour, editing, and voice over. Then the ad is sent to media
for airing.
For the print ads:
• First, research to decide whether to go for the production house (TV) or
35. we choose to buy rushes.
• We bring a photographer or we use stock photo galleries.
14. Post-Tests: A group of students viewed the ads and found out that the campaign is
acceptable and up to the associated goals. After applying recall research, which is a
technique used to judge the effectiveness of an ad by testing the respondent’s ability to
remember it or any of its specifics, the campaign proved to be effective.
After launching the campaign, we should measure the level of application of anti-
terrorism acts in order to see the level of satisfaction or dissatisfaction cause our job does
not end when the campaign is over. We should monitor post launching satisfaction of our
product idea of anti terrorism, and post launching actions. We should measure the
viewer’s satisfaction by setting a small interview with them. Then scale the level of
performance/expectations of the campaign. These feelings influence whether the
customer shall be receptive to our campaign again and talks favorably or unfavorably
about it to others.
•After performing this little survey over20 targeted viewers, we can define the trends,
likes and dislikes over this new concept for fighting terrorism.
•100 % of the questioned persons found this campaign very convincing and loyal to our
concept of Anti-terrorism.
•92% of the questioned sample understood the messages intended through this campaign,
as resistance, seriousness of problem and the need to cooperate with the government
•85% of the questioned university student s preferred the crying girl visual and the time
bomb ad
•They found that the human presence presents the threatening of terrorism on us. They
36. found the messages are straight to the point rather more than the corporate ad which
featured the globe and not Lebanon for example.
•80 % found the TVC very informative and benefitial.
Getting the Campaign Approved:
A meeting with the client should be scheduled after approving the following steps:
After doing these steps, we should seek the final approval of the client so he can judge
whether the campaign is acceptable and it meets the company's goals.
After the management is satisfied,
15. Campaign Evaluation: To finally evaluate the campaign a final interpretation
should be done by comparing the visitor's to our Anti-terrorism site before launching the
campaign and after it. A questionnaire could be set up to find the viewpoints of people to
the PR campaign conducted by our agency.
Before heading off with our campaign, we should conduct concept testing and creative
testing.
During the campaign, we should measure activated interactive advertisements, number of
people visiting the agency, number of ticket sales, number of visitors to our conference,
Internet visitors to our website, feedback responses in our exhibitions.
After the release of our advertising campaign, we should apply user surveys, and analyze
the results of the evaluations of the testing during the campaign.We have reasons to
believe that the set objectives were reached, according to several criterias:
