Evaluating the effectiveness of the advertising

There are various ways to do it. They include measuring achievement of advertising objectives, gauging the effectiveness of copy, illustrations or layouts; and the assessing certain media. Many advertisers evaluate print and TV advertisements according to the degree to which consumers can remember them. These methods based on memory include: recognition and recall tests. If a recognition test is used, people are shown the actual advertisement and asked whether they recognize it. When recall is evaluated, people are not shown the actual advertisement but instead they are asked about what they have seen or heard recently. The major justification for using recognition and recall methods is that people are more likely to buy a product if they can remember an advertisement about it than if they can not.

Advertising agencies create most advertisements and are the core of the advertising industry. Some companies, however, have their own advertising departments which function much like an agency. The development, production, and placement of a single advertisement can be a time-consuming process involving a large number of people with the variety of business and creative skills. Advertising agencies not only create the advertisement but also pay for the cost of placing the advertisement in a newspaper or magazine or on TV or radio. A large advertising agency or department may employ 100s or 1000s of people, including advertising and marketing specialists, designers, writers known as copywriters, artists, economists, psychologists, researchers, media analysts, product testers, librarians, accountants and bookkeepers, and mathematicians. A typical advertising agency is divided in to a number of departments, such as account service, research, media planning and buying, the creative department, and production.

Ones a company selects an agency, the agency assigns the account executive to act as liaison between it and the client.

The account executive manages all of the services conducted on behalf of the client and coordinates the team assigned to the client’s business. The account executive directs the preparation of the advertising strategy, which includes deciding how and to whom the product or service will be presented. The account executive also assigns priorities, oversees the budget, reviews and approves all recommendations before they are taken to the client, and makes sure that the agency meets all deadlines.
