Setting the Advertising Budget

Note to Instructor

This Web link brings you to the AOL Super Bowl ad site. It is interesting to talk to the students about the decision for some brands to spend the majority of their annual advertising budget on this one time event.

This slide leads a discussion of the product life-cycle stages and their influence on advertising budgets. In general new products require larger budgets and mature brands require lower budgets/

Market share can also determine budget where building or taking market share requires larger budgets. In addition, markets with heavy competition or high advertising clutter require larger budgets.

Creating the Advertising Message

Note to Instructor

This Web link is for Microsoft’s new advertising campaign that was launched in 2008. The campaign was unusual as it began with two ads featuring Bill Gates and Jerry Seinfeld. These ran for only a short period of time and were followed immediately by the “I’m a PC” campaign. There is thought that the Gates/Seinfeld spots were to draw attention and create buzz because they were not very strongly received by the public.

Advertisements need to be better planned, more imaginative, more entertaining, and more rewarding to consumers.

Madison & Vine—the intersection of Madison Avenue and Hollywood—represents the merging of advertising and entertainment.

At the minimum, students should write down this url, especially if they have an interest in advertising.

For international advertising decisions the most basic issue concerns the degree to which global advertising should be adapted to the unique characteristics of various country markets. Some large advertisers have attempted to support their global brands with highly standardized worldwide advertising, with campaigns that work as well in Bangkok as they do in Baltimore.
