Objectives

British Council engaged Cheddar Media to design and produce a multi-format education campaign across Hong Kong and the Asia Pacific region for their IELTS programme. The campaign needed to drive awareness and engagement for two distinct initiatives — the IELTS practice test offering and the launch of IELTS on computer — while maintaining consistency with the British Council’s global brand standards and meeting the specific requirements of the Hong Kong and regional market.

Approach

Cheddar Media developed a cohesive campaign creative system built around the strategic concept of possibility — positioning IELTS as the qualification that opens doors to study, work, and life in English-speaking countries worldwide. The visual language was bold and motivational, designed to cut through in a competitive education advertising landscape and resonate with Hong Kong students and young professionals considering international study or career opportunities.

Across both campaign phases, we produced a comprehensive suite of education campaign design assets — including digital display advertising, social media creatives, print materials, out-of-home executions, and in-centre campaign materials for British Council locations across the region. The IELTS practice test campaign offered prospective test-takers free access to authentic test papers, while the computer-based IELTS materials highlighted the flexibility and convenience of the digital testing format. All materials were produced to British Council brand standards, with adaptations for the local Hong Kong and Asia Pacific context.
