Marketing Objectives RuleExample in ADCAD Marketing Objectives (11 rules) IF product life cycle stage = introductionAND innovation type = discontinuousTHEN marketing objective = stimulate primary demand IF brand usage = noneTHEN marketing objective = stimulate brand trial IF current brand usage = someAND (brand switching = high OR product usage rate = fixed)THEN marketing objective = stimulate repeat purchase/loyalty IF current brand usage = someAND brand switching = lowAND product usage rate = variableTHEN marketing objective = increase rate of brand usage
Positioning Rule Examplein ADCAD Positioning (24 rules) IF ad objective = convey brand image or reinforce brand imageAND brand purchase motivation = social approvalAND brand usage visibility = highTHEN possible benefit = “status” (c.f. Holbrook & Lehmann 1980) IF ad objective = convey brand information or change brand beliefsAND perceived differences between brands = small or mediumAND perceived relative performance = inferior or parityAND relative performance = superiorAND current brand loyalty = competitor loyalTHEN message comparison = direct comparison against competition (Gorn & Weinberg 1983) IF ad objective = convey brand information or reinforce brand beliefsAND conflicting information = likely AND education = college or graduateAND product knowledge = high AND involvement = highTHEN message sidedness = two-sided (McGuire & Papageorgis 1961)
Message Characteristic Rule Example in ADCAD Message Characteristics (80 rules) IF ad objective = increase top-of-mind awarenessTHEN technique = jingle, rhyme, or slogan (MacLachland 1984) IF ad objective = convey brand information or reinforce brand beliefsAND market share = largeAND brand switching = highAND product type = existingTHEN technique = sign off (Stewart & Furse 1986) IF ad objective = convey brand information or change brand beliefsAND message processing motivation = lowAND message processing ability = lowTHEN ad format = problem solution (Schwerin & Newell 1981)

Benefits of ADCAD System • Flexible representation and processing of advertising knowledge using AI methods • Separate knowledge from its processing • Verbally rich models that are closer to the way people normally tend to think -- incorporating qualitative elements relevant to a situation • Improved explanatory features • Deliver knowledge when and where decisions are made
Limitations of ADCAD Knowledge Base • Unclear specification of the context in which a rule is valid • No clear assessment of the degree of uncertainty associated with a knowledge element • Much of the knowledge is not empirically verified in a scientific sense
Initial Ad Agency Reactions Creating an advertisement is like making an omelette—easy to do but difficult to do well! Do you know any computers that can make an omelette? Computers and creatives? Forget it!! What do you think?
Potential Application Areasof Knowledge-Based Systems • Too much information • Systems to interpret information and generate insights for managerial actions. Example: Interpretation of log files from web servers • Too many options to consider and evaluate • Systems to reduce the number of options to a few important ones Example: Design of TV commercials • No single individual has all the relevant skills/knowledge • Systems incorporating multiple sources of knowledge and expertise. Example: New Product Development screening
Potential Application Areasof Knowledge-Based Systems • Routine problems with highly variable input data • Systems to automate problem solving. Examples: credit card authorization, product configuration • Shortage of skilled employees/frequent turnover • Systems that embed procedures and plans. Example: Help desk • Need “just-in-time” knowledge to solve a management problem • Network of expert systems available on demand
