Exhibition Planning meeting

We presented the following last night from the Marketing team:

We explained our idea about creating a viral video for promotional reasons, especially as in the new building there will be screens but no where for posters.  We will also have a space to project a film in the entrance to the exhibition.  I think instead of creating a costly sponsors wall using vinyl stickers, we could project the sponsors logos here instead. So the idea is to get a huge range of interesting quotes that we can use for our PR and Marketing campaign, they can be edited into different films and used as images, we can even use people answers to create a story without the actual questions!  The top 10 questions and the format for answering them was as follows after the survey:


Why should you come to our exhibition?
3-words
What makes our exhibition different?
3-words
What does creativity smell like?
Image
How do you define yourself now?
Short sentence
Who were you at the beginning of the course? And who are you know?
Short sentence
What if imagination didn’t exist?
3-words
What does diversity taste like?
Object
What form has your artefact taken?

What does taking risks look like?
