Describe the brief/objective of the direct campaign.

Targeted at new and first-time mothers. The key objective was to design a piece that would not just be a calendar, but engage mothers and help increase their play time with their baby.



Describe the creative solution to the brief/objective with reference to the projected response rates and desired outcome.

Calendars are a great way to keep track, month by month, of a baby’s progress. However, calendars are usually lost and forgotten or at most kept away in one corner. The key objective was to design a piece that would not just be a calendar, but engage mothers and help increase their play time with their baby.



Explain why the creative execution was relevant to the product or service.

Play time is the most engaging and important mother-baby bonding time. We designed a plaything which also works as a mobile learning programme and a motor co-ordinator for babies. The D.I.Y. calendar is designed to showcase the different stages of the first 12 months of the baby’s life, leading to his/her first birthday. Each month represents a different piece of baby article that the mother puts together with her baby. These pieces are also educational because it instructs the mother about the new things she should introduce to her baby.



Describe the results in as much detail as possible with particular reference to the RESPONSE of the target audience including deliverability statistics, response rates, click throughs, sales cost per response, relationships built and overall return on investment.

As word of mouth spread, J&J received countless calls for these calendars. The calendars are being re-printed to meet the growing demand. Seeing the popularity, Johnson's Baby has spread this calendar initiative to other South East Asian countries and they're also being retailed at children's bookstores across the country.
