Advertising management

Advertising theory

Relationship of advertising expenditures to success

Choosing an advertising agency

Advertising parameters

Creative brief

This chapter presents an overview of managing the advertising function. Advertising theory lays the groundwork as does an understanding of the relationship between advertising expenditures and success. The chapter then provides information on how to select an advertising agency. Advertising parameters are discussed followed by the components of a creative brief.

Hierarchy of Effects Model (1 of 3)

Awareness

Knowledge

Liking

Preference

Conviction

Purchase

The hierarchy of effects model consists of these six steps.

Hierarchy of Effects Model (2 of 3)

Steps are sequential

Some experts question if sequential

Consumers spend time at each step

Brand loyalty involves all six steps

Similar to attitude formation

Cognitive – awareness, knowledge

Affective – liking, preference, conviction

Conative – actual purchase

The six steps are sequential, although some experts question if they are really sequential. But, the basic model says they are sequential and that consumers spend some time at each step. For instance, before a consumer can like a brand, they first must be aware of it and develop some knowledge of it. To develop brand loyalty, consumers must go through all six steps. It is similar to attitude formation and the cognitive-affective-conative sequence. Awareness and knowledge are the cognitive component of attitude. Liking, preference, and conviction are the affective component. The conative component of attitude is the purchase.

Hierarchy of Effects Model (3 of 3)

This model shows the relationship between the hierarchy of effects model and the attitude sequence formation.

The first set descends in the following order: cognitive, affective, conative. The second set, as it relates to the first, descends in the following order. Cognitive: awareness, knowledge. Affective: liking, preference, conviction. Conative: purchase.

Figure 5.2 Personal Values

Comfortable life

Equality

Excitement

Freedom

Fun, exciting life

Happiness

Inner peace

Mature love

Personal accomplishment

Pleasure

Salvation

Security

Self-fulfillment

Self-respect

Sense of belonging

Social acceptance

Wisdom

In designing ads, it is important to remember people have values, and much of their consumption behavior is motivated by a desire to fulfill these values in their lives.

Means-End Theory

Means-end chain

Message (means) lead to end state (personal values)

Means-End Conceptualization of Components of Advertising Strategy (M E C C A S)

The second theory that is important to consider is the means-end theory. The basic concept is that a means, the message, leads to an end-state, or personal value. The actual name of the theory is “Means-End Conceptualization of Components of Advertising Strategy”, or MECCAS. The model suggests that product attributes lead to consumer benefits, which in turn connect to personal values.

Figure 5.3 Means-End Chain for Milk (1 of 2)

This figure illustrates a means-end chain for milk. An attribute of milk, being low fat, provides the benefit of health. The personal values consumers receive from good health are self-respect and wisdom. Another attribute, calcium, provides the benefit of healthy bones, which in turn leads to a comfortable life and shows wisdom on the part of the consumer. The key to a means-end chain is looking at the benefits each attribute generates then connecting those benefits to various personal values.

Attribute, low fat; benefit, healthy; personal values, self-respect, wisdom. Attribute, calcium; benefit, healthy bones; personal values, comfortable life, wisdom. Attribute, ingredients; benefits, good taste; personal values, pleasure, happiness. Attribute, vitamins; benefit, enhanced sexual ability; personal values, excitement, fun, pleasure.

Figure 5.3 Means-End Chain for Milk (2 of 2)

Means-End Chain

This advertisement for milk illustrates the last means-end chain. The specific message is that milk has calcium, which is important in bone development for both the mother and her baby.

Figure 5.4 B-to-B Means-End Chain for Greenfield Online (1 of 2)

This is a means-end chain for a marketing research firm, such as ReRez. The company is promoting marketing research. The first attribute is that Rerez does marketing research using the Internet which provides the benefit of robust samples. For a marketing person in a company, using robust samples can provide job security. Another aspect of the service, speed, leads to quicker results. This can provide the benefit of self-fulfillment since the information needed is provided quickly. Other personal values that are tapped through the benefits suggested include social acceptance and wisdom.

The following list provides attribute, then benefit, then personal values: internet, robust samples, job security; speed, quicker results, self-fulfillment; expertise, actionable information, wisdom and social acceptance; experience, reliability, job security.

Figure 5.4 B-to-B Means-End Chain for Greenfield Online (2 of 2)

Means-End Chain

This is the ad for ReRez based on the previous means-end chain.

The title reads, Re Rez takes responsibility for making sure the project gets done; what a great idea. The ad copy includes the following: methodology and online panel specialists; multi partner solution with a single point of contact; offering internet surveys, online panel, C Ay T I interviews, I V R, focus groups. If we cannot do it, it cannot be done.

Verbal and Visual Elements

Balance between visual and verbal

Visual processing

Easier to recall

Stored both as pictures and words

Concrete versus abstract

Radio visual imagery

Visual esperanto

International ads

B-to-B advertisements

Most ads seek to have a balance between visual and verbal, but usually one will be more dominant than the other. In recent years, advertisers have seen a move to more visuals and less emphasis on verbal content. One reason for the change is that visual processing is easier for consumers to recall. Visuals are stored in the brain both as pictures and as words. Concrete images tend to be remembered better than abstract visuals. If consumers can create a mental image or picture, it actually is superior to seeing the visual in terms of recall. So radio ads that can make listeners use their imagination and picture the product work very well. Visual esperanto is the ability of a visual to transcend cultures and languages by conveying the same meaning. It is especially beneficial in international ads where advertisers want to convey the same message to every market in the world. Business-to-business ads in the past emphasized verbal content, but in recent years B-to-B ads have moved to more visuals.

Factors Impacting Relationship Between Promotions and Sales

The goal of the promotion

Threshold effects

Diminishing returns

Carryover effects

Wear-out effects

Decay effects

Random events

A number of factors influence the relationship between promotions and sales. The goal of the promotion may be to increase brand awareness or build brand image. If so, there will be less impact on sales than with some of the other objectives. Threshold effects are present at the point where the advertising or communication begins to affect consumer responses in a positive direction. Carryover effects refer to an ad’s message being remembered or carried over to the time when the product is needed and the consumer is thinking about the purchase. Wear-out effects occur when an ad or message becomes old and stale and the consumer no longer pays attention to it. Decay effects occur when a company quits advertising, and the brand name begins to fade in people’s memories. Sales can also be impacted by just random events, such as a major snow storm.

Figure 5.5 Relationship Between Advertising and Marketing Expenditures and Sales and Profit Margins

The straight line is an unrealistic assumption about the relationship between expenditures and sales. The bottom curve is more indicative of what happens. Advertising dollars are spent and for awhile nothing happens. Then consumers begin to pay attention and start purchasing the product, the threshold effect. As more advertising dollars are spent, diminishing returns occur. With each additional dollar in advertising, the impact is less and less. This is the concave downward response curve.

the plot shows a generalized linear relationship., which is an unrealistic assumption about the relationship between promotional expenditures and sales. The second graph plots dollars versus advertising and promotional expenditures, with two plots, for sales and profits. The first plot rises through threshold effects, and then rises more slowly through diminishing returns, before peaking, showing a concave downward response curve. The profits plot begins at a plateau, then drops slightly before rising to a peak; it then drops steadily, showing the marginal analysis curve.

Threshold Effects

Ad designed to encourage action.

This ad for Cub Cadet features a $50 appreciation bonus designed to encourage action.

Figure 5.6 A Decay Effects Model

This curve illustrates decay effect. During the advertising campaign, sales often continue to climb. Then the campaign ends and consumers begin to forget the brand name, thus it starts decaying.

Figure 5.7 Advantages of In-House versus Outside Agency

Advantages of In-House

Lower costs

Consistent brand message

Better understanding of product and mission

Faster ad production

Work closer with C E O

Lower turnover rate in the creative team

Advantages of Outside Agency

Reduce costs

Greater expertise

Outsider’s perspective

Access to top talent

In-House,” Advertising Age,

, May 18, 2009

Companies have to decide whether they will perform the advertising work in-house or obtain an outside advertising agency. Each has advantages. With an in-house staff, normally costs are lower. It is easier to ensure a consistent brand message across campaigns and across various products within the company. In-house staff have a better understanding of the product and the mission of the company. They usually will work closer with the CEO. With in-house, moving from creative to production is normally faster since the company has direct control of the employees. There is also a lower turnover in the creative team, which provides greater consistency across campaigns. Outside agencies also offer some advantages. Costs may be lower if the in-house team lacks the expertise and a lot of time and effort is wasted in doing the work. Outside agencies have greater expertise and an outsider’s perspective, which can be extremely valuable in generating fresh ideas and creating effective campaigns. With agencies, firms may have access to some of the top talent. While it may cost more to use an agency, the superior work produced is normally worth the price.

Figure 5.8 Services Provided by Full-Service Agencies

Advice about how to develop target markets

Specialized services for business markets

Company image and theme guidance

Advertising planning

Planning and purchasing of media

Full-service agencies provide a wide array of services for clients, everything from strategy development to actual ad preparation. Full-service agencies can offer advice and guidance on developing target markets, a brand’s image, logo and tagline development. Most full-service agencies can provide guidance on business markets as well as consumer markets. Media planning and buying is also done with a full-service agency, or one of its subsidiaries.

External Advertising Agencies

Advertising agencies

Media service companies

Direct marketing agencies

Consumer and trade promotion specialists

Online and digital agencies

Social media agencies

Public relations agencies

Advertising agencies come in all sizes and shapes. They range from boutiques that offer only one type of service or serve one type of client to full-service agencies that offer the full spectrum of services. Advertising agencies will often provide other marketing services. Media services companies provide media planning and media buying services. Direct marketing agencies work with all types of direct response marketing campaigns. Some agencies specialize in consumer or trade promotions, or even focus on a specific type of promotion, such as couponing. Public relations firms handle both positive and negative publicity events. A growing number of agencies handle only online or social media.

A recent phenomenon that has occurred is the whole-egg theory, first mentioned by Young & Rubicam Agency. The idea of the whole-egg is that an advertising agency should provide full marketing services for a company and assist in integrating every aspect of the company’s marketing effort.

Budget Allocation Considerations: In-House versus Advertising Agency

Size of account should match size of agency

75-15-10 Rule

75% - Media buys

15% - Creative work (agency)

10% - Ad production

Costs are a major consideration in selecting an outside agency. The size of the account should match the size of the agency. Smaller accounts may be lost with a large agency and a large account would overwhelm a small agency. The 75-15-10 is a good guide to use. When looking at the total cost of an advertising campaign, 75% of the money should be spent on media buys, 15% on creative work by the agency, and 10% on production of the ads.

Crowd Sourcing: In-House versus Advertising Agency

New alternative

Outsource creative

Doritos

Harley Davidson

Overall cost not lower

Advantages

Involves consumers

Generates buzz

Crowdsourcing is a recent alternative to choosing an advertising agency. Crowdsourcing involves seeking ideas from the public and even videos of ad productions. Two companies that have successfully used crowdsourcing are Harley Davidson and Doritos. Unilever used it for its meat snack product, Peparami. Doritos has used it in the Super Bowl. While it would appear the costs would be much lower, they are not. Most crowdsourcing involves a contest and a website. Then the entries have to be judged, and in most cases, the ad is professionally produced once the idea has been selected. But, the advantages of crowdsourcing include getting consumers involved and generating buzz among individuals as the entries are posted and passed along to other people.

Figure 5.9 Steps in Selecting an Advertising Agency

Set goals

Select process and criteria

Screen initial list of applicants

Reduce list to two or three viable agencies

Request creative pitch

Choosing an agency requires time and effort. While companies can shortcut the process, such an approach often results in the best agency not being hired. The first step is to select goals. Then the company should decide on a process and criteria before contacting any agencies. Once proposals have been received, the list can be narrowed down to two or three viable agencies. A creative pitch is then requested from each of the agencies to determine the best choice.

Choosing an Agency

Goal Setting

Set before contacting agencies

Provides direction

Reduces biases

Goal setting should occur before contacting any agencies. Doing so will prevent any biases towards a particular agency. Also, the goals provide direction. It will help the company understand what it wants from an agency and where the company wants to go.

Figure 5.10 Evaluation Criteria in Choosing an Ad Agency

Size of the agency

Relevant experience of the agency

Conflicts of interest

Creative reputation and capabilities

Production capabilities

Media purchasing capabilities

Other services available

Client retention rates

Personal chemistry

The second step in the process is setting the evaluation criteria. Again, this should be done prior to talking to any agencies. As has already been discussed, the size of the agency is important. The agency should have experience in the industry, but not be representing a direct competitor. This would be a conflict of interest. Creative reputation and capabilities should be considered since the primary role of the agency is to generate creative ideas. The product and media purchasing capabilities are not essential. Some agencies do this, while others use subsidiaries or contract the tasks out to boutique shops. Client retention rates may be important, but with the turnover among agencies today, it has lost a lot of importance. Personal chemistry is important because individuals from the two companies must work together and generate ideas that will move the brand forward and accomplish objectives that have been set.

Creative Pitch

2 to 3 finalists

Formal presentation

shootout

Specific problem/situation

Expensive for agencies

Once the list has been narrowed down to two or three finalists, it is time to ask for a creative pitch (or shootout). Agencies are given a specific problem to address. Creative pitches are expensive for agencies, so companies need to be serious about an agency when requesting a pitch. From the creative pitches, the company should select the agency that offers the best plan.

Key Advertising Personnel

In the advertising agency, there are some key individuals. The account executive is the liaison between the company and the agency. The account executive represents the client within the agency. Account planners are the voice of the consumer and assist in overall planning and strategic direction of the campaign. Their role is to see the total picture. The creative director is responsible for the creative aspect of the campaign and works with the agency’s creative staff. The traffic manager’s role is to manage the campaign scheduling to ensure the campaign is finished on time. As with the Oscar Mayer campaign, multiple components mean juggling numerous deadlines and schedules. Media buyers and planners are involved in the selection and purchase of media.

The account executive is the liaison between client marketing managers and individuals within the agency, which include the account planner, creative director, and traffic manager. The creative director oversees creative staff, and works with the traffic manager, who oversees media buyers and planners.

Figure 5.12 Advertising Campaign Parameters

Advertising goals

Media selection

Tagline

Consistency

Positioning

Campaign duration

Effective advertising campaigns require careful planning and attention to these parameters. Advertising goals have to be set based on communication and marketing objectives. Media selection not only must fit with the advertising goals but has a big influence on advertising design. A tagline needs to be developed, if not already in place. Consistency across campaigns and within a campaign is important to ensure the target audience is hearing the same, consistent message. Other decisions to consider include how the brand will be positioned and the duration of the campaign.

Figure 5.13 Advertising Goals

To build brand awareness

To inform

To persuade

To support other marketing efforts

To encourage action

Advertising objectives include building brand awareness, informing consumers, persuading them about a brand, supporting other marketing efforts like couponing or a contest, and encouraging action.

Build Brand Awareness: Advertising Goals

Brand image begins with awareness

Consumers recognize the brand

Business-to-business

Especially important in modified rebuy situations

Successful brands possess

Top-of-mind

Top choice

Brand equity leads to top-of-mind & top choice

A primary goal of advertising is to build brand image, to enhance a brand’s equity with consumers. The process begins with brand awareness. If consumers are not aware of a brand, then brand image advertising can’t succeed. Brand awareness and brand image are especially important in modified rebuy situations because companies may not always seek every qualified bidder. Successful brands possess two characteristics. Top-of-mind are the brands a consumer mentions first when asked about brands in a particular product category. Top choice is the brand within a product category that consumers prefer the most. To be top choice requires top-of-mind. Brand equity leads to top-of-mind and top choice.

Persuasion: Advertising Goals

A common goal of advertising is to persuade consumers that a particular brand is superior to others and should be that top choice. This ad for Flair Jewelers says “Nobody Does ‘I Do’ Like We Do.”

Media Selection

Media-usage habits of target market

Audience characteristics of media

Business-to-business media

Earlier involvement of media companies

One of the challenging tasks of advertising management is to select the media that will be used. More information about this process will be presented in Chapter 7. But, at this point, it is important to realize that to pick the right combination of media requires understanding the media habits of the target market then matching those habits with the audience characteristics of each media. This process is used in business-to-business media as well as in consumer media. Because of the importance of placing ads in the right media, companies are now involving media companies at an earlier stage of the ad development process rather than after the campaign has already been completed.

Taglines

Key phrase

Memorable

Conveys uniqueness

Consistency across platforms

Shorter than in past

Revised or new taglines

Taglines are connected with brands and sometimes are better known than a brand’s logo. It is a key phrase that should tell what the brand is about. It should be memorable and convey something that is unique. The tagline should be consistent across multiple media platforms. Over time, taglines have become shorter. Revising taglines can be tricky and must be managed carefully.

Consistency

Transfer to long-term memory

Visual consistency key

Repetition enhances recall

Variability theory

Different environments

Can vary content

Multiple media

Repeatedly seeing a specific visual image, headline, copy, or tagline helps embed a brand into a person’s long-term memory. Visual consistency is especially important in moving an ad to long-term memory. Repetition enhances both ad recall as well as brand recall. Variability theory states that seeing an advertisement in different environments enhances recall and recognition. Advertisers can vary the ad content while maintaining consistency across the campaign or campaigns. Different media can also be used. Seeing an ad on television and then in a magazine or billboard enhances recall more than seeing multiple ads within the same medium.

Positioning

Maintain consistent position

Link in cognitive map

Avoids ambiguity

Message stays clear

Maintaining consistent product positioning throughout a brand’s life makes it easier for individuals to embed the brand within their cognitive map. Consistent positioning avoids ambiguity and provides a clear, consistent message that is always the same.

Campaign Duration

Goal is to embed in long-term memory

Too short impedes retention

Too long can make it stale

Typical length is 6 months

Length varies

The goal of an ad campaign is to embed the brand and the message into a person’s long-term memory and cognitive map structure. If the campaign is too short, it impedes retention. It also leads to greater costs. If the campaign is too long, it can become stale and consumers will ignore the message. It is also possible the campaign can create negative feelings from hearing it too much. For most campaigns, about 6 months is effective. But, there are exceptions. Some campaigns last for years with only minor adjustments. Other campaigns wear out sooner.

Figure 5.15 The Creative Brief

The objective

The target audience

The message theme

The support

The constraints

The last step in advertising management is writing a creative brief. The appearance of creative briefs will vary among advertising agencies and clients, but most contain these five elements: the objective of the campaign, the target audience, the message theme, any support that can be used, and any constraints. The creative brief is prepared by the agency with the help of the account executive or account planner from the agency and the brand manager from the client. It is a document used by the creative team at the agency to prepare the advertising campaign, so it needs to be clear and provide enough information so that the creative team understands what the client wants.

The Objective

To Persuade

The first component of the creative brief should be to state the objective of the campaign. Campaigns designed to increase brand awareness will look different from campaigns designed to build brand image, encourage immediate action, or stimulate sales. The objective for this advertisement is to persuade individuals buying or building a home to use JD Bank for their mortgage.

The Target Audience

To Persuade

Information about the target audience is critical. It should be more than just demographics.

The Message Theme (1 of 2)

Unique selling point

“Left brain” advertisement

Logical, rational side of brain

Manages numbers, letters, words, concepts

Use rational appeal

“Right-brain” advertisement

Emotional side of brain

Manages abstract ideas, images, feelings

Use emotional appeal

The message theme should be the one (not multiple) unique selling point the client wants its target audience to get. When considering message themes, it helps to think about the difference between left brain messages and right brain messages. The left side of the brain is logical and where people manage numbers, letters, words, and concepts. Left brain advertising focuses on rational appeals that require thought, the cognitive component of attitude. The right side of the brain is where the emotions lie. The right side manages abstract ideas, images, and feelings. So right brain advertising should use an emotional appeal, the affective component of attitude.

The Message Theme (2 of 2)

The message theme of this ad is “Weaver is the firm of choice for companies and individuals with dreams and goals as big as Texas.”

The creative brief needs to contain the primary message theme the client wants to convey to its target market.

The Support

The support claims in this ad are the “Best” awards shown at the bottom of the ad.

Ads will often provide support for their product. It is the responsibility of the client to provide any support that might be used in an advertising campaign. If an automobile was designated as Motor Trend’s car of the year, that is valuable support that can be included to support brand image advertising. In this ad, St. Francis Medical Center received five different awards for being the best.

The title to the left reads, one mission, 100 years, 1913 to 2013. Five award ribbons are shown at the bottom: two awards for best employers for healthy lifestyles, for 2012 and 2013; and three awards best regional hospitals in northeast Louisiana, by U S News, for 2013 to 2014.

The Constraints

Legal and mandatory restrictions

Corporate restrictions

Disclaimers

Constraints are things advertising can’t say or do, or things that must be included in ads. For some products, there are legal and mandatory restrictions that must be included. For drugs, companies must tell consumers about all of the possible side effects. For tobacco products there must be a warning from the Surgeon General. Companies may have other constraints, such as the logo must appear in all ads, or the logo must be in a specific color or shape. Disclaimers or warranty statements may also be included in ads. Most of the constraints are either legal requirements or company-imposed requirements to protect from lawsuits.

International Implications

62% of advertising budgets spent outside of U.S.

Two major differences

Process of agency selection

Preparation of international advertising campaigns

Preplanning research varies

Understanding of languages and cultures

Media selection varies

Approximately 62% of advertising budgets are spent outside of the United States. The two major differences are the process of selecting an agency and the preparation needed for an international advertising campaign. Preplanning will also vary across countries. When developing global ad campaigns, you have to pay close attention to language and culture differences. Translating to another language is not sufficient. Media selection also varies in other countries. The mix that is used in the U.S. is not the same as it would be in Japan, Peru, Spain, or Germany.
