Case studies and questions have been assigned to each tutorial to develop the learning from previous sessions. You are expected to be able to take part in the discussion and contribute to the group learning. This is not a mark for attendance – it is for participation and discussion.

A Media Audit
In PAIRS , word limit indication: 1500 words

This should be a fun learning exercise. I want you to pick a company or product that has been advertised very heavily here in Adelaide, across a range of media.

First, give me some background on your company / product. What it is, the customer need it fulfils, and a description of the customers it serves. Then tell me about three of the media they are using, in broad terms these may be one of:

TELEVISION
RADIO
MAGAZINE
NEWSPAPER WEB BASED
PUBLIC RELATIONS
SPONSORSHIP
Any number of others
Be careful not to ignore the MINOR types of media. For some companies the small media is VERY, VERY important. Think of Clipsal or Red Bull with sponsorship or Carlton United with viral, or even Coke with sales promotion (those huge supermarket ends).
For each of the three media you choose, do a quick discussion of the strengths and weaknesses of the media, critically present the ads (youtube URLS, other URLs, screen shots, photos, verbatim descriptions of radio ads etc) and then tell me what they achieved.
Write a conclusion of some sort that lets me know your paper has finished, and add your reference list.

Marketing Communication Brief – Indicative word count – 2000 -2500 words

Group

One of the keys to getting good creative – that achieves marketing results – is having a good brief from marketing to creative. So often I’ve had creative tell me that they didn’t get a brief, or that it was written down while it was being asked for or that it was as simple as ‘this is the product, we want a radio (TV/Magazine/Web) ad.

So often I’ve seen marketers unhappy with what comes back from creative – only to find out that they hadn’t in fact provided a brief, or that it wasn’t particularly thorough.

At this point in the learning of this course, building on the learning you developed in the Media Audit and what we have covered in the Sessions so far it is your opportunity to prepare your first brief – and know it is for learning and marks, rather than having half a million in development work go into it ïÂÂ脗聛ÂÂ脗聤.

You can use the brand/product/service that you investigated in the media Audit if you want – in some cases this will help deeper learning, especially if you thought it was poorly executed or wide of the mark.

In this assignment, you will draw on the theory and learning and see to what extent you need to draw on your marketing skills to guide (not smother) creative output.

You need to prepare a Creative Brief as if you are the brand manager/marketing manager and you are employing an ad agency.

Page 136 of the text provides a good framework for what is needed in a Creative Brief. If you wish to use a different format that suits your approach –you are welcome to. In fact it is a good idea to scour around the web and see the different approaches, evaluate them from what you have learned, pros and cons and develop the approach you believe will best meet your objectives.
