National Advertising Campaign
Wouldn't it be great if the real Christmas message was to be seen on posters, national newspapers and heard on local radio stations up and down the land in the run up to Christmas? That's exactly what Church Ads (formerly Churches Advertising Network) have done for over a decade. Each year the campaign causes a stir in the press as people sit up and take notice of what the Church is doing.
This year the theme is 'However you dress it up...Christmas Starts with Christ'. Using a beautifully shot image that transposes the traditional manger scene with 21st century life, the campaign presents the Christmas story in a way that people can relate to. The posters also invite people to sign up to the Christmas Experience, which will enable them to get free Christmas messages direct to their mobile phone.
If you would like to see Christmas Starts with Christ posters in your local area, all you have to do is make a donation to Church Ads and they will do their best to find a site near you. You can also purchase church posters and publicity material direct from CPO.
This year press adverts will also be placed in national newspapers. This will significantly increase the reach of the campaign as 76% of the population buy or read a national newspaper each week.
The radio advert takes the theme and runs with it, commenting on the characters from the perspective of a fashion journalist to make the listener take notice, but concluding with the same message as the poster 'However you dress it up...Christmas Starts with Christ'.
If you would like to hear Christmas Starts with Christ adverts running on your local radio station, we suggest you get together with some other local churches and seek to raise at least £1000 which Church Ads will use to buy the space on the station.
