After receiving feedback from your subject facilitator on Part A and reflecting further, you will then proceed to complete Part B of the Assessment – where you will develop a detailed Advertising Campaign (including visuals). This part is due in Week 10 and accounts for 50% of the total mark. See the Assessment Brief – Part B for instructions.

The final Part of this Assessment, Part C, requires you to present your Advertising campaign in a presentation format and is due in Week 11.

Please refer to the Task Instructions below for further details on how to complete the first part of your project.

Context:
Before an Advertising Campaign is requested from an Advertising Agency, a clear Advertising Brief needs to be written by the Marketing or Advertising manager of the client to outline the aim of the campaign. Is the aim of the campaign brand advertising, or advertising for a particular sales event such as Mother’s Day or new summer fashions or maybe it could be a Sale or for the launch of a new product.

This Assessment will give you the opportunity to apply the concepts learnt on the importance in selecting the target audience, defining Advertising Objectives ( as different to the Marketing Objectives), formulating Advertising Strategy that you want followed, consider media channels including the USP(Unique Selling Point/ Proposition) and indicate the budget you have to spend and how it will be spent.
