1 . What discourages clients from hiring their own specialized experts instead of employing of full-
service agency?
2 . While adhering to the Prime Direction, what is the false assumption behind "targeted"
advertising agencies only working on advertising for their demographic groups?
3 . The communications model states that there must be an overlap in experiences between a
communicator and audience. Yet "affluent, well paid, college educated, white collar job holding, largest
cities living, relatively young people," the description of the typical mass communications managers, is
not a description of the typical advertising audience members. If targeted agencies are unnecessary
attempts to create overlap between communicators and audiences, how does being different from an
audience not foreclose a person's ability to communicate with those people?
4 . What does a advertising/promotional planner sees as the primary purpose of the mass media?
5 . Message strategy and tactics is known as the "creative function." Does this mean that successful
and creative movie makers be given free reign to plan message strategy and write/ produce the
resulting television commercials? Why or why not?
6 . What is meant by the distinction between sales promotion moving the product toward the
consumer while advertising moves the consumer toward the product and how does this distinction help
guide determining the "value" of a planned sales promotions effort?
7 . How does a publicist measure his or her effectiveness in the job and how is this comparable to
advertising time or space buyers' reach estimates?
8 . What determines if communications strategy can make use of publicity as an effective sales
tool? Explain.

2. Case Detail :
Clutter has become synonymous with the advertising industry in recent times and this extends to all
realms of marketing, offline and online. There is an increasing trend of being greeted with an explosive
assortment of ads when one logs onto a website. These ads transcend genres of -commerce, consumer
goods, tourism, hospitality, and more. While views on these ads may be relatively high, the recall seems
to be questionable in many cases. In this scenario, tracing the consumer’s preferences for brand
advertisements becomes extremely difficult.
Herein, we aim to address the simple question of how a brand must aspire to break clutter and switch to
viewability of the content rather than served impressions, which has been the conventional way of
running ads within the industry.
To transform the way ads have been programmed so far, one will need to pay close attention to the
existing metrics and re-evaluate different brand strategies. The traditional route for marketers adopting
online ads has been banners, images, audio, and video. The measurement was based on served
impressions, i.e., the countable times that an advertisement gets fetched from the source, irrespective
of whether it was clicked or not.
Viewable impressions, on the other hand, are measurable to a more accurate degree. For an impression
to be counted as viewable, at least 50 percent of it must be visible to the user for a minimum of one
second. This provides for ‘some versus no’ value, but does it justify the money spent behind it?
According to a study conducted by ComScore, 54 percent of the display ads that are up on the website
are actually not seen and this is despite the fact that some of them cost a lot.
It is implicit that advertisers would be interested in posts which guarantee a decidedly higher
viewability, so publishers offering such inventory will be at an advantage too. There’s another bonus to
this because measurable data of this sort will make it easier for rate comparison of different brands
among multiple publishers. While served impressions have been working well towards adding higher
numbers to charts and creating a presumption over the total awareness created through it, there are
three primary concerns: If the targeted user leaves the page before it loads completely, he/she will miss
the ad.
A lot of search and display ads are placed at the bottom of the webpage, so if the user does not scroll all
the way down, it’s a lost cause for the advertiser.
If a proxy server, crawler or spider opens the page, there is no certain way to ascertain the measures. In
order to ensure visibility and derive the right returns on your investments, you must plan your
advertisements with the right placement and communication.
With advertisement forms rapidly evolving, your strategy is incomplete without researching what works
for your target audience and delivering a customised plan of action. To break away for the clutter of
advertisements and to ensure you receive eyeballs and recall, the right amount of innovation and

3. creativity must be put in to produce content that goes a long way in giving you the right bang for your
buck.
