Unit 1 section 2: Advertising

Unit 1 section 2

Advertising - Just do it

Most advertising today is about communicating the complex range of messages about a product known as branding. 

A brand is a product or range of products that has a set of values associated with it that are easily recognised by the consumer. 

Brand identity is created by using the following elements:

  1. Brand essence: A way of summing up the significance of the brand to the stockholders and consumers alike of the brand in one simple sentence
  2. Brand slogan: A public way of identifying the brand for consumers - often associated with a logo. 
  3. Brand personality: Marketeers can describe their brand as though it were a person, with likes and dislikes and certain behaviour.
  4. Brand values: What does it stand for/ against? 
  5. Brand appearance- What does it look/sounds/taste like?
  6. Brand heritage- How long has it been around? Does it have customers who have been loyal to it for many years?
  7. Emotional benefits- how it avoids/reduces pain or increases pleasure 
  8. Hard benefits- bigger? better? cheaper? washes whiter? 

Traditional advertising is on:

Radio
TV
Magazines
Leaflets, flyers, postcards
Posters
Billboards

For example, social media, range of devices for the audience to see the marketing campaign etc. Example: wiseGEEK (http://www.wisegeek.org/what-is-technological-convergence.htm) explains what technological convergence is and the effects on hardware, internet and the advantages and criticisms.
