Advertising and Promotion BMA349
Hong Kong Universal Ed, Hobart, Launceston
Introduction
BMA349 Advertising and Promotion covers the general area of marketing communications. The unit focuses on the selection of appropriate marketing messages for an organisation to communicate. Fundamentally, this rests upon the management of key tools and media which can be used to deliver marketing messages in an effective and integrated way while achieving communications and higher-order objectives. During the course of this unit, you will focus upon a contemporary approach to marketing communications that considers how integration of messages may achieve maximum impact, primarily through the coordinated use of a range of marketing communication tools.
This approach to communications planning considers the strategic use of a range of traditional media, e.g., television, print and sales promotion, as well as digital and social media. The unit explores the nature of the various channels available to aid you in understanding selection of appropriate media options. These central topics are placed in the context of more general marketing communications issues faced by organisations of all sizes including the establishment of objectives, budgeting and organising for effective coordination and delivery of promotional messages. You will find that understanding the complexities and issues involved in advertising and promotion will be of value to you when making both marketing and general business decisions in the future.
