Campaigns
Big Day the Agency creates advertising campaigns built around an idea people can feel, remember, and act on. From out-of-home and video to digital, social, and experiences, we develop work that turns heads without losing sight of the business goal. Our Dream Machine campaign for Casper earned One Club San Diego Best of Show. We bring that same ambition to every brief: find the ordinary in the category, then defy it.
What Is an Advertising Campaign
An advertising campaign is a connected set of messages and creative executions designed to achieve a specific goal with a defined audience. It may introduce a product, shift perception, build awareness, bring people to a destination, or support sales. A strong campaign has a central idea that stays recognizable as it moves between channels.
At Big Day, we connect audience insight, campaign strategy, concept development, production, and channel-specific creative. The work needs to make sense in a split-second glance and reward a closer look.
What Our Campaign Services Include
Campaign platforms and big ideas. Create a central concept and message that can anchor multiple executions and evolve over time.
Out-of-home and experiential. Build work for billboards, transit, public spaces, events, and other moments people encounter beyond their screens.
Digital and social campaigns. Adapt the idea to feeds, placements, formats, and behaviors without reducing it to a series of identical crops.
Video and broadcast. Develop scripts, storyboards, visual direction, and film or motion assets shaped for the intended channels.
Launch and seasonal campaigns. Give a new product, offer, occasion, or brand moment a clear reason for people to pay attention now.
Media-ready toolkits and versioning. Prepare the assets, formats, copy variations, and specifications teams need to put the campaign into market.
How We Approach Campaigns
A campaign is a promise made in public. We start with the business objective and the audience: what they already think, what matters to them, and what the brand can credibly bring to that conversation. Then we find the idea that makes the message distinct.
The idea has to be simple enough to survive a highway drive-by and rich enough to live in video, social, and real-world experiences. We explore the strongest concepts in the formats where they will appear, then develop the chosen direction into a system that works across the campaign.
That is what Defy Ordinary means in practice. We look for the familiar category move, question whether it earns attention, and create something more specific to the brand. Our Dream Machine campaign earned Casper Best in Show at the One Club Awards; the aim of every brief is work with that level of clarity and creative ambition.
An Idea That Travels
A campaign should feel connected wherever someone meets it, but each placement has a different job. A billboard needs to communicate at a glance. A short video needs to earn its first seconds. A social post has to feel at home in the feed. We build from one central idea, then shape each expression for its moment.
Big Day can connect campaign strategy, creative development, design, and production so the idea carries through from the first presentation to the assets that go live.
What You Walk Away With
Campaign deliverables depend on the scope and channels. They may include:
- Campaign strategy and audience insight
- Creative platform and concept territories
- Core message and campaign copy
- Art direction and key visuals
- Video concepts, scripts, and storyboards
- Out-of-home, digital, social, and print assets
- Experiential concepts and design

- Launch toolkit and guidance for future extensions
We define the objectives, deliverables, responsibilities, and approval process before production begins.

Campaign Work in Action
Casper Dream Machine
Big Day’s Dream Machine work for Casper received One Club San Diego Best of Show. It is an example of how a distinct campaign idea can give a brand more than an ad: a creative platform that people can recognize and remember.
