Encyclopaedia of Advertisement Management

Advertising management is the process of overseeing campaigns that seek to inform and attract consumers regarding a particular good or service. This process begins with the first stages of the market research that helps to create the advertising strategy, moves on to the development of the general outline for the campaign, the creation of a specific plan of action and the launching of the completed project. Without effective advertising management, ad campaigns and public relations efforts tend to founder and produce little or no results. Effective advertising always begins by engaging in competent advertising research. The research helps to identify the sectors of the consumer market that are most likely to positively respond to a given product. In order to identify these niche markets within the larger group of consumers, researchers will not only seek to understand what appeals to these buyers but why those goods and services have that inherent appeal. The data collected from the research can then be used to enhance the marketability of products, addressing everything from function to packaging. It is hoped that the book will give students, practitioners and anyone involved in marketing, advertising, or brand creation, the framework and knowledge with which to make more effective advertising decisions, and to communicate some of the excitement and vitality that characterises the advertising industry.
