    here are the parameters i just got via email...

    [nice warm up note that leads into:]

    ·         Two page side-by-side print ad:
    o   One page graphic ad showing a partnership/collaboration between [them] and [us]. Should have the logos, some photography, maybe a new catchy slogan. Attached are some lockup files I found.
    o   Second page (symmetrical) is 2 typed paragraphs on a separate page describing how the [our] technology and process compliments [their] product and company and is going to be fully integrated into their operations. Should be inspiring, consumer friendly. Type treatment and color should be carefully chosen.
    ·         Hangtag – an digital mockup model of a hangtag that you would envision on [our product]. It should indicate [our product] in an environmentally friendly way (you can add some metrics about the specific savings mentioned on the website and/or other unique qualities) – should be very consumer friendly and appealing (not just the logo plastered onto a tag). You can mail this to me and email a PDF of the design.
    ·         Marketing campaign – no more than 3 paragraphs outlining a new creative way to campaign our [product] and send it viral all over the world. Should identify the target market, the method of communication, possible cost, and some specifics about the campaign.
