The high cost of advertising 30 seconds = $30 million
“Failure to plan is planning to fail.” • Advertising costs money • So before you spend you need a plan
So… What is Advertising? • Advertising is a PAID, mass mediated attempt to persuade. If it’s not paid for, it’s not advertising. • The advantage of advertising over earned media is that the timing and content of the advertising message can be carefully controlled and target audiences can be reached more precisely.
Billions Dollars are Spent on Advertising $2.5 BILLION $95 BILLION $2.5 MILLION
Media Planning & Placement • Before we start paying for media time and space we need to know: • WHO? • WHAT? • WHERE? • WHEN? • HOW MUCH?
WHO? • WHO is the advertising being directed to? • We need to know more that just the demographics • Lifestyle • Behavior • Attitudes • Perceptions • Wants • Needs
Hitting the Target • We aim at the center, knowing that we will still reach many outside of our center target.
Hitting the Target… • The more specific and detailed your target audience is, the more efficient your communications plan will be. • Plans with a very detailed target audience often require fewer dollars than those with a very broad target.
WHAT? • WHAT is the ultimate marketing objective of the campaign? Does it support the program initiative? • Public Awareness • Behavior Modification WHAT is the single compelling idea you want to get across?
HOW MUCH? WHERE? WHEN? • How much money do you have to spend? • Your budget will drive your campaign • What type of advertising • Where • When you run; how often

Integrated Marketing Communication • This is a concept designed to make all aspects of marketing communication (advertising, sales, promotion, public relations, direct marketing) work together as a unified force, rather that permitting each to work in isolation
Communications Mix as Part of the Bigger Picture • A good integrated marketing communications program includes a clear and coordinated set of core messages that carry a cohesive and integrated theme through all forms of communication.
Communications Mix • Public Relations • Earned Media/Publicity • Sponsorship of Events • Collateral/Promotional Materials • Public Service Announcements (PSA’s) • Advertising
