we need to be able to evaluate
strengths and weaknesses of different
media…
…so we can choose the right mix…
…of media and vehicles
costs communication richness
interactive properties audience profile
costs…
two types of cost…
costs need to be budgeted and paid for
each medium has costs incurred through use
absolute
relative
communication richness…
the way the message is delivered and understood varies depending on the medium
sight movement
some are one-dimensional…
sound
some are multi-dimensional…
need to consider the rational and emotional message
interactive properties
Digital media can offer more interaction…
…more interaction leads to dialogue and engagement
…and hopefully a relationship
however, some products don’t require a relationship
audience profile
who consumes the medium? age
income
gender
class
geo-demographics, psychographics and behavioural segmentation
very effective at delivering a targeted message
great for high involvement
a large percentage of advertising money is spent
on print
can have a broad appeal – (inter)national…
…to a very specialist focus
broadcast
mass reach with relatively low cost
sight, movement, sound, colour
mainly considered to be TV and Radio
can tell stories and appeal to emotions
lack of involvement and engagement if poorly executed
telling stories… and engaging
outdoor
are present out of home – so consumption can be in a variety of places
offer supporting messages to ‘primary’ media (broadcast and print)
Three main formats – furniture, billboards and transit
can be interesting and novel…
…helping to avoid clutter in primary media
in-store
can grab the attention of shoppers
retailers control POS and POP
an increasing number of choices about
brands and products are made in stores
manufacturers are in charge of packagingcan influence through recall and
recognition at the point of purchase
cinema
High impact…
heightened level of attention… captive
has all the advantages of TV advertising
cinema
ambient
Don’t fit into transit, billboard or poster pigeon-holes
non-traditional outdoor media
ambient
ambient
direct response
the other provokes an (immediate) call to actionprovides an opportunity for immediate follow-up
one purpose is to develop brand attitudes…
telephone, email, URL, green button, QR code, Shazamprocess is very important here
digital
customers are still learning ways on interacting
the speed of technological change is still accelerating
potential has not yet been fully reached or
realised…
…but it’s interactive, it’s personal…
…it’s mobile, it’s fast and it’s efficient
social media
…mobile
multi-channel…
Primary media such as TV, print or even sales teams deliver the message
…it is supported by digital and direct marketingresources can be more effectively ‘spread’ across media and channels
…linked to behaviour, media consumption and receptiveness
evaluating strengths and weaknesses of
different media…
…allows us to develop our media
