Unit introduction

When developing an advertising campaign for a client, the advertising professional needs to show the client that they fully understand their business. In this unit learners will learn how to recognise the client’s business in the context of its market and how to ensure an advertising campaign will help the client’s commercial position. It is important to have an awareness of which sector and industry the client’s business is in and how it is performing in the sector in order to inform the advertising campaign. It is also necessary to understand how to ensure that an advertising campaign meets legal, regulatory and ethical requirements of the sector. Learners will learn how external influences, such as economic, social and political factors, impact on a business.

Understanding the client’s product and strategy is vital for communicating the product to the consumer through an advertising campaign. In this unit learners will explore the strategy and positioning behind clients’ portfolios of products and services, and the relationship between client brands and their corporate brands.
