Summary/Abstract: Communication lies at the core of any cultural project playing an essential role in reaching the target audience. Nowadays, cultural communication campaigns can benefit from a diverse range of result-oriented tools as long as they follow a coherent integrated strategy. One of the most successful cultural communication campaigns in Romania and a suggestive example for practitioners was dedicated to the Romania-France Season, a unique cultural and public diplomacy project led by a memorable slogan: „Forget about clichés”. The article explores how this particular campaign was created: from the idea to setting the objectives and capitalizing on a series of communications channels.
