Developing Advertising Strategy
 Advertising strategy defines HOW a company
achieves its advertising objectives.
 It consists of two major elements:
1. Selecting the advertising media
2. Creating the advertising message

Q.
WHAT COMES FIRST: MEDIA SELECTION OR
DEVELOPING CREATIVE?
Developing Advertising Strategy
 Advertising media: vehicles through which
advertising messages are delivered to their
intended audiences.
1. Selecting specific media types:
• Traditional media: One-way communication
vehicles such as TV, Radio, Print, Cinema,
Outdoor.

some form of computing e.g. Social Media,
Blogs, Online Newspapers, Digital Games &

Developing Advertising Strategy

 Message strategy sets the direction for the
advertising message.

idea” for bringing the message to life.

into an actual execution to capture the
target audience.

words, & format

How Consumers React to Advertising

 Three popular hierarchical models of Advertising:


1. The AIDA Model
2. The Hierarchy-of-Effects Model
3. The Innovation-Adoption Model.
…all three Models are based on 3 parameters.
The Three Models…
Limitations of the Models
 All three Models are based on 3 parameters:
1. Cognition (Attention/ Awareness)
2. Affective (Moods, Feelings, Attitudes)
3. Behavioral (Action/ Manifestation – In
Marketing ‘Trial or Purchase’)

 The Big Debate: In human beings the three steps


do not always appear in a linear fashion.
 Researches show Awareness does not always
come before Liking & Liking does not always
come before Trial/ Purchase.
Limitations of the Models
 Another issue with LINEAR models:
 Linear models ignore effect of multiple
exposure, ALTHOUGH…
 Advertising effect is Cumulative – It adds up
over time.
 Quite unlike human thinking, all three models
are LINEAR in nature…
 …hence their validity is questionable!
Communicating Better:
ELABORATION LIKELIHOOD MODEL
The Alternative:
ELABORATION LIKELIHOOD MODEL
1. PERSUASIVE COMMUNICATIONS (ELABORATION)
RESULTS IN…
2. MOTIVATION & ABILITY TO PROCESS INFORMATION.
3. If Favorable Thoughts develop it results in a Positive
Attitudinal Change.
4. If Negative Thoughts develop it results in a Negative
Attitudinal Change.
5. If thoughts neither Negative nor Positive – need for more
persuasion is felt.
6. If ‘neither thought prevails’ MORE Persuasion is needed.
7. If still no effect NO CHANGE occurs.
8. If persuasion works TEMPORARY CHANGE may result.
PUBLIC RELATIONS
• Public relations (PR) means building good relations
with the company’s various publics by obtaining
favorable publicity, building up a good corporate
image and heading off unfavorable rumors, stories and
events.
• Activities involved in PR are press relations, product
publicity, public affairs, lobbying and managing
investor relations.
• PR can have a strong impact on public awareness and
results can be impressing. Some of the most important
tools of PR are the news, speeches, written materials,
audio-visual material and public services activities.
