Unit 9 Creative Product Promotion


LO3 Understand the role of advertising agencies and the media

You are just starting out as an advertising agency trainee. You will
initially need to review how other organisations organise their
promotional campaigns. You will have to describe the role of
advertising agencies and finally you will be required to design a
promotional campaign.

For this task you need to produce a presentation which


describes the role of advertising agencies in the development of
a successful promotional campaign of your choice. You need to
consider the role of the advertising agency with regard to:
media planning, e.g. designing the adverts, copywriting,
graphic design, typography
producing the adverts
helping to identify the target audience
providing public relations activity
providing direct marketing support

For the same campaign used in Task 1 extend your


presentation to explain the advantages and disadvantages of
using a professional agency in ensuring a successful promotional
campaign

Task 3
Using the same campaign as in Task 1 you have now been asked
to produce a newsletter to explain the reasons behind the
choice of media. You need to consider the following:
What types of media have been used in the promotional
campaign? Are they local, regional, national or
international? Why?
Has it used terrestrial, satellite, digital, the internet, or any
specialist media such as trade magazines? Why?
Why has the company chosen the particular media?
(Consider cost versus coverage;
promotional objectives; target audience; focus of appeal,
e.g. emotional, empathetic, intellectual; timing;
circulation; readership.)
What is the role of the internet in the promotional
campaign? Why has this been chosen? (Consider
disintermediation; direct marketing.)
Have any one-to-one communications been used, e.g.
mobile phones? Why have they been chosen as a suitable
media?
