Unit aim

The aim of this unit is to give learners the skills and knowledge that will be useful whether entering employment in the creative media sector, or progressing to higher education. Learners will discover how to identify and agree the requirements for advertising copy, and how to develop persuasive copy that meets clients’ promotional needs.

Competency unit assessment guidance

This unit should be assessed predominantly in the workplace. Please see Annexe E. Observation, witness testimony, questioning, professional discussion, written and product evidence are all sources of evidence which can be used.

Unit introduction

Writing advertising copy is not just a matter of putting words together to fill the space available. Often the space available will be limited — so every word used must earn its place. Every word must be chosen carefully to work effectively within the context of the overall advertising objective. The words may be used for persuading the reader to acquiesce to the advertiser’s aims, to spur the reader into action, to buy something or do something – whatever the aim, the words must communicate effectively.

In this unit, learners will be introduced to some of the key issues that will need to be taken into account so that they can produce copy that is legal, decent, honest and truthful, and does not cause offence to any sections of society. In addition, the copy produced will need to be suitable for the product, the medium and the target audience, correct in all aspects of spelling, grammar and punctuation, and still manage to meet the client’s needs for effective advertising.
