Course Description This course provides an introduction to Advertising. Prerequisites: none.
COURSE OBJECTIVE
This course provides students an opportunity to gain an understanding of advertising and other mass communications marketing practices: common business activities and terminology, perspectives applied when taking the optimal approach to decisions, plus descriptions and rationales of common practices (which are often far from optimal). The class itself places emphasis on developing students' abilities to express their analysis and recommendations in class discussion, essay exams and written assignments.
The greatest difficulty for students in this class is shifting perceptual focus. You can no longer think as if you are part of the audience (as you do when you watch television commercials or read magazines), but instead, as if you are the creators of communications strategies. And you must put aside your personal tastes. Since not all audience members (if any) are people like you, advertising strategy and tactics must be assessed in terms of what a target audience might perceive, not in terms of what appeals to you. This is being realistic: in business, people preparing advertising, publicity and sales promotion strategy and tactics are seldom members of the target audience and strategy desirability must be judged in terms of what a target audience might like, dislike or understand. And this also means we will be covering some topic areas and using examples that you might find offensive, such as sexual appeals, or media vehicles whose audiences are people whose lifestyles or values are not the same as yours.
This course will be divided into five parts:
Part 1 – The IMC Foundation
· Integrated Marketing Communications
· Corporate Image and Brand Management
· Buyers Behavior
· Promotion Opportunity Analysis
Part 2 – IMC Advertising Tools
· Advertising Management
· Advertising Design: Theoretical Frameworks and Type of Appeals
· Advertising Design: Message Strategies and Executional Frameworks
Part 3 – IMC Media Tools
· Traditional Media Channels
· E-active Marketing
· Alternative Marketing
Part 4 – IMC Promotional Tools
· Database and Direct Response Marketing
· Sales Promotions
· Public Relations Sponsorship Programs
Part 5 – IMC Ethics, Regulation and Evaluation
· Regulations and Ethical Concerns
· Evaluating and Integrated Marketing Program

You are expected to come to every session having completed your reading and/or other assignments. Bring your book to class every time. You will be using it.
