What is the product being advertised?
This will be a brand new tour 2016/2017 that is going to be sponsored by Rock
Dance magazine. The tour will be advertised over a poster that will feature the
new artist’s tour that is going to take place. I want to advertise this new tour
listing the locations and dates that the tour will consist of. The poster will
advertise the artist’s style along with the new album that has been produced.
What are the Aims and Objectives you are trying to achieve?
The aim of this print based advertisement is to promote the artists new tour that
is going to take place in 2016. The aim is to make sure that the tour sells out all
of the tickets that have been on sale. This is to also promote the new album that
has been released. The advert will make the artists look very good and appealing
to go and see on tour.
Target Audience
Maslow – The audience for this tour will be aimed at social climbers. This is
because the audience wants to be driven by their social status. They want to be
able to socialize with other people and make new friends. The tour that I am
advertising shows gives the audience the chance to do so.
Katz – The Katz theory is aimed at the diversion category. The tour that is being
advertised giving the audience the chance to be able to escape their busy life
style. They can come and see this artist play on tour and enjoy a good night out.

2. Unit 15 – Print Based Advertisement
The relief of stress will allow them to have a good time.
Hartley – This theory is aimed at people that are over the age of 15. This is
because the target audience will need to be able to afford the cost of the
transport and tickets for the tour show. This means that the audience must be in
the working class, as they need to be able to bring a good income home. The
gender is aimed at both sexes.
Psychographics – The target audience fall into the explorer category. This is
because the audience will be seeking the energy and excitement. This can be
found within the tour.
Socio-economic needs – The target audience for this would fall into the C1
category of a specialist member of staff. This is because the price of the tickets
and the cost of transport to get to the event.
What is the campaign message?
The campaign message for this advertisement is about telling the audience about
how amazing and exciting the new tour is. I want the audience to be able to think
that they can’t miss the tour. The slogan for my advert will be “ see it to believe
it” or it may be “ The sound of entertainment”. The unique selling point for this
advertisement will be having a special guest on the poster. This will make the
audience more interested in seeing the tour. The advertisement campaign is
aimed at young people who like to enjoy events like this. This is because younger
people stereotypically like to go out more seeking energy and excitement.
Style or approach format
The style approach for this advertisement will be presenting a sky blue
background with white text. The imagery of the artist will have a black and white
filter. The genre of the tour is indie rock; this is reflected through the choice of
colour and style approach from the advertisement. The style approach will be
presented in the tour by using banners at the tour events. The event will feature
the stage lights with the colour scheme that I have chosen. The colour of the
drum kit that the artist will be using in the tour will be black and blue which is

the same as the house style that I have chosen.
Content
The dates of when the tour will be for the solo artist and the location will be
written over the poster. The picture of the solo artist will be placed on the front
of the posters content. This is to make the artist look more important and more
eye catching for the audience to see. The name of the artists on the poster will go
at the top. This is placed in bold so everyone remembers the name of the tour. At
the bottom of the poster there will be a the social media synergy.
