The Coach
Integrated campaignA fictional fake news campaign, created by using the written word and a convincing typographic treatment.
OUTLINE
Privacy, consent, fake news, lying, bad behaviour and the inevitable loss of trust. Who or what media should we turn to for the truth? Thinking of Canada for the moment, Canadians can turn to a trusted source like the CBC/Radio Canada network and depending on your political point of view, some mainstream Canadian newspapers.
BRIEF
Create a completely fictional, unsupported by fact, fantastical, ridiculous, absurd, and outright outrageous fake news campaign and make it look completely believable.
CLIENT
The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.
TAGLINE
Don’t trust everything you see. Believe everything CBC.
Inspired by Black Mirror (Season 4 episode "Hang the DJ")
A series of bus shelter ads
