Made At Sea : Spec Work from Miami Ad School

Kindly note that this is STUDENT SPEC WORK and has not been commissioned by the brand.
The credits are as below:

Advertised brand: Royal Bombay Yacht Club
Advert title: Made At Sea
Advertising School: Miami Ad School, Mumbai, India
Art Directors: Saloni Doshi
Copywriter: Palak Kapadia, Shweta Nandakumar

Synopsis: The Royal Bombay Yacht Club, established in 1846, is an extremely premium sailing club in Mumbai. Entry to the club is restricted only to members and their guests. The current waiting time to get a membership is 150 years. This means that first generation sailors will probably never get to be a part of this community. To fix this, RBYC is waiving off the waiting time for a 100 new members.

RBYC, in essence, is a club that celebrates the spirit of seafaring. The only real criterion for being a member is sharing that spirit. It isn’t something you can buy your way into. In a series of print ads with the tagline ‘Made At Sea’, we position the club as one only real sailors have access to. The ads are in keeping with the brand’s tone of voice of exclusivity, elitism, legacy, prestige and even a slight snobbery.

Talk About Menstruation In The Open : Spec Work from Miami Ad School Students

Advertised brand: McKinsey Design + The Case For Her
Advert title: TMI – Talk about Menstruation In the open
Advert Type: Integrated
Advertising School: Miami Ad School, Mumbai, India
Art Director: Saloni Doshi
Copywriters: Palak Kapadia, Yashashree Samant, Nagma Dhingra

Synopsis: Talking about menstruation is largely a social and cultural taboo. McKinsey in partnership with The Case For Her wants to tackle issues and social stigmas around menstruation. Women themselves have internalised the stigma related to menstruation to the extent that they refrain from talking about it openly and certainly not in detail. Normally women are extremely particular about nuances in colours. However, when it comes to periods, women refrain from talking about the different shades of menstrual blood. Research shows that a change in colour can be an early indicator of underlying health issues – a conversation we shouldn’t be shying away from. In order to execute the same we use various touch points that women encounter and talk about anyway, to normalise the “uncomfortable” period conversation.
