Client Brief, Designing, and Reviewing the Campaign consult a media/design expert, select and interview a local small business or artisan, design print/digital posters and short audio-video ads, and gather client feedback (Activities 3 to 7).
Advertising in India: advertising sells products but also carries social messages.
