Home Learning – Papa Kāinga TV
Enabling remote learning from home during COVID 19 lock-down, in the absence of online technology.
When Aotearoa went into full lock-down, we worked with the Ministry of Education to create a visual identity and design system to help stand up a new TV channel aimed at the 100,000 kids and their parents who were not able to access online learning.
With the continued learning of over 100,000 kids on the line, we had 2 weeks to go from project brief to on-air TV channel.
- Brand identity development
- Design system development
- In-channel design and animation assets
- Advertising campaign strategy, creative and production
A key challenge was to create a design system that resonated with wide ranging audience needs and tastes – children from 2 to 17 years old.
Our core logo, created in English and Te Reo Māori, become the core element that held everything together.
We created a vast array of items from logo, to in-programme backgrounds, screen graphics, programme guides and channel stings.
To help enable the channel to resonate across a wide range of audience needs, we developed a design system made up of three parts:
Growing awareness and creating engagement
To promote the channel we created a campaign comprising of TV and off-line adverts, which we complimented with social media content.
An important aspect of the campaign was to ensure we didn’t attach any stigma to not being able to learn from home through technology.
Instead, we related the reasons to everyday home life – not enough devices, devices broke, running out of date – and also included some tried and true reasons for not doing homework like a monster ate my device.
