    Preface

    Advertising is a very interesting word for me. From my childhood

    I love to see advertisements and I am very enthusiastic to know more about

    advertisements. So when I was given an opportunity to do summer project, I

    selected advertising industry because it has always been the industry of my

    choice.

    The whole process of approach of the client to the outcome of the

    communication in the form of advertisements has taught me a lot. The

    creative aspects, in addition to the pressure of meeting deadline are unique inthis industry.

    With the growth of the industry in India and the full-fledged operations of

    the MNCs, the expenditure on advertising has seen growth. Now companies

    do more and more advertising of their products in order to improve their

    sales and compete with their competitors. This gives freedom to the

    advertising agencies to display the best of their potential. My project is

    divided into three parts. Firstly, I have made an effort to study the current

    scenario of advertising industry in India. Second I have tried to learn

    functions of various departments of Mudra. Third, I was given an analysis of

    the advertisement campaign of Graffiti tiles by Mudra and subsequently

    ways to improve the visibility of the ad campaigns.

    This project has been carried out with sincere efforts and theoretical inputs

    have been well included after carried out lot of study. It has certainly been a

    very good platform to study advertising and related aspects.

    Salient features

    Executive Summary

    Today most organizations, large and small, that rely on marketing to createcustomer interest are engaged in consistent use of advertising to help meet

    marketing objectives. This includes regularly developing advertising

    campaigns, which involve a series of decisions for planning, creating,

    delivering and evaluating an advertising effort. These things are involved in

    this project.

    I studied about advertising industry in India, the planning & execution

    process of advertising, and functions of different departments of Mudra.

    I did practical learning by participating in advertising campaign for

    Graffiti. I also worked on market research for Graffiti.

    Working with seniors in the marketing department, I learnt very important

    things about marketing operations and market research. How market

    research is carried out, how to make effective questionnaire, how to ask

    questions in order to easily understood by the responders without vesting

    their time, how to approach different kind of clients and responders, how to

    arrange our work these all things I learnt during this project.

    During this project, I learnt, not only about advertising but also about the

    working environment of an organization and the effective relationship

    between employees.

    Introduction

    Marketing is more than just distributing goods from the manufacturer

    to the final customers. It comprises all the stages between creation of the

    product and the after-market which follows the eventual sale. One of these

    9

  • 8/9/2019 20203988-AdS-at-Mudra

    10/73

    stages is advertising. The stages are like links in a chain, and the chain will

    break if one of the likes is weak. Advertising is therefore as important as

    every other stage or links, and each depends on the other for success.

    The product or service itself, its naming, packaging, pricing and

    distribution, are all reflected in advertising, which has been called the

    lifeblood of an organization. Without advertising, the products or services

    cannot flow to the distributors or sellers and on to the customers or users.

    A successful national economy depends on advertising promoting

    sales so that factory production is maintained, people are employed and have

    spending power, and the money goes round and round. When this process

    stops there is a recession. Similarly, prosperous countries are those in which

    advertising does its job. In third world countries and Russia, economies are

    poor and advertising is minimal, especially when a large proportion of thepopulation is young non-earners.

    The modern world depends on advertising. Without it, producers and

    distributors would be unable to sell, buyers would not to know about and

    continue to remember products or services, and the modern industrial world

    collapse. If factory output is to be maintained profitably, advertising must be

    powerful and continuous. Mass production requires mass consumption

    which in turn requires advertising to mass market through the mass media.

    Definitions

    Marketing:

    10

  • 8/9/2019 20203988-AdS-at-Mudra

    11/73

    The management process responsible for identifying, anticipating

    and satisfying customer requirements profitably.

    Advertising:

    Advertising presents the most persuasive possible selling message to the

    right prospects for the product or service at the lowest possible cost.

    Costs: who pays for advertising?

    The cost of advertising is justified in two ways: it enables the

    consumer to enjoy the product (and, where there is competition between

    rival products, to have a choice), and it also enables the manufacturer or

    supplier to enjoy a profit.

    Generally, prices fall as advertising increases demands. If advertising

    were to be stopped demand would also fall off. Either the product would fail

    to sell, or the price would have to be increased as it would be more costly to

    produce and distribute a smaller quantity.

    Advertising involvement

    Although advertising is listed as a single element it is associated with almost

    every other element, borrowing from them or interpreting them.

    11

  • 8/9/2019 20203988-AdS-at-Mudra

    12/73

    a) The volume, emphasis and timing of advertising will depend on the

    product life cycle situation. For instance, at the introductory or

    recycling stages, the weight of advertising will be heavier than at the

    maturity or decline stages.

    b) Marketing research will provide evidence of motives, preferences and

    attitudes which will influence not only the copy platform or

    advertising theme but the choice of media through which to express it.

    c) Naming and branding may be initiated by the advertising department

    or agency, and clearly plays an important role in advertisement

    design.

    d) The product image will be projected by advertising and PR.

    e) The marketing segment will decide the tone or style of advertising,and the choice of media.

    f) Pricing can play an important part in the appeal of the copy. Is the

    product value for money, a bargain or a luxury? Pricing can be a very

    competitive sales argument. People are very price conscious. Even

    though legislation prevents the control of prices, indication of likely

    or list prices, can be important aspects of advertising appeals.

    g) The product mix has many applications. In advertising, one product

    may be associated with another, or each brand may require a separate

    campaign.

    h) Packaging is a vital aspect of advertising, as when recognition is

    sought. It is itself a form of advertising, especially at the point of-

    sale, as in a supermarket when the package often has to identify the

    product and literally sell if off the shelf.

    Increasingly, Eco-labeling will be looked for as proof that a

    product is environmentally friendly. There are schemes in manycountries for approving products so that they may carry E marks.

    i) Distribution involves trade advertising such as direct mail, in the trade

    press and at exhibitions.

    12

  • 8/9/2019 20203988-AdS-at-Mudra

    13/73

    j) The sales force has to be familiarized with advertising campaigns

    which will support their efforts in the field.

    k) Market education is a public relations activity aimed at creating a

    favourable market situation in which advertising will work.

    l) Corporate and financial public relations often use institutional

    advertising in the business press. The corporate image may be the

    theme of institutional advertising.

    m) Test marketing requires a miniature advertising campaign simulating

    the future national campaign.

    n) Advertising research includes copy-testing, circulation and readership

    surveys and statistics, recall tests, tracking studies and cost-per-replyand cost-per-conversion-to-sales figures.

    o) Sales promotion can augment or even replace traditional advertising.

    p) The after-market calls for advertising to make customers aware of

    post-sales services.

    q) The maintenance of customer interest and loyalty may be achieved by

    advertising which promotes additional uses and accessories, or simply

    reminds.

    r) On-going public relations activities help to maintain long-term brand

    recognition.

    Basics of an advertising campaign

    A campaign should follow a five-point plan:

    13

  • 8/9/2019 20203988-AdS-at-Mudra

    14/73

    1. What exactly is to be achieved? Do we aimto achieve, say, a given

    sales target?

    2. When is this to be achieved? This week over the year?

    3. What is the strategy? Will the extra sales come from new or

    existing customers or by switching customers from other brands?

    4. What tactics shall be used? What creative ideas and media?

    5. How much will this cost? It is a good investment?

    The advertising department

    The organization of advertising and public relations differ, so that

    most advertising personnel work in advertising agencies but public relations

    personnel work in-house. Nevertheless, both do have internal and external

    14

  • 8/9/2019 20203988-AdS-at-Mudra

    15/73

    services. Whereas in advertising it would be unusual not to use an agency, in

    public relations it is not absolutely necessary to use consultancy. This is due

    to the very different natures of advertising and public relations, and to the

    very different personnel employed by each.

    The result is roughly that the larger the volume of advertising the

    greater the need for an advertising agency and the ability to share the skills

    of many specialists. The greater the volume of public relations department

    to deal with the communication needs of numerous departments. If extra

    work (or specialized work such as financial or parliamentary relations)

    occurs, a consultancy may also be used.

    The in-house advertising department servers two purposes: to buy andsupervise agency services and to buy supervise services not provided by the

    advertising agency. This division of responsibilities coincides with above-

    the line and below-the line.

    Appointing an agency:

    The advertising agent is the agent of the media, and the agent acts as

    principal and is legally responsible for the payment of space and airtime

    costs even if the client defaults, it is necessary for the advertiser to choose

    and appoint an agency to produce its advertising.

    15

  • 8/9/2019 20203988-AdS-at-Mudra

    16/73

    The advertising manager is therefore engaged in the search for an

    agency, its appointment and eventual re-appointment or otherwise. This will

    usually be done in association with superiors such as the marketing director

    and managing director who will sign the contract of service.

    The appointment of the agency results from a number of agencies

    being short-listed. This is called shopping for an agency. Arrival at this

    short-list will depend on having decided how much and what kind of

    advertising is required. The size of the appointment or budget will merit a

    small, medium or large agency. Technical, industrial or business-to-business

    products or services are best served by a technical or business-to-business

    agency.

    Role of the advertising agency

    Agent acts as principal:

    The role of the advertising agency is to plan, create and execute

    advertising campaigns for clients. However, extent to which it does so varies

    today according to the kind of agency it is. There are agencies which offer

    16

  • 8/9/2019 20203988-AdS-at-Mudra

    17/73

    every kind of service, those which only buy media, those which only create,

    and others which offer special services.

    Middle position:

    Operating in this middle position almost like a wholesaler between

    advertiser and media owners, the role of the advertising agency can be

    summarised in two ways.

    a) It offers the client a team of highly skilled experts which can be

    shared with other clients. It would not be economic for the majority of

    clients to employ such a team full-time. The agency is also skilled at

    buying ancillary services such as film and video production, artwork,photography, print, typesetting and marketing research.

    b) It offers the media an economic way of buying and selling space

    airtime since the media owners have to deal with a relatively small

    number of agencies compared with thousands of individual

    advertisers. The quality of advertising production will be high and

    will match the standards and requirements of the media, and the

    advertisements will comply with the law.

    Services agencies:

    1. Full-service agencies:

    These are large or medium- size agencies capable of conducting a

    complete advertising campaign. They may have subsidiary companies or

    have associations with other companies dealing with marketing research,

    public relations, recruitment advertising, or sales promotion.

    17

  • 8/9/2019 20203988-AdS-at-Mudra

    18/73

    2. Medium-size agencies:

    There are many other medium-size service agencies which are

    responsible for most modest accounts, augmenting their regular staff

    with freelance and specialist services as and when required. There are,

    for instance, many first-class freelance copywriters and visualiser who

    prefer to work independently. The future is likely to see an expansion

    of home-based creative staff that can produce layouts on computers,

    write copy on word processors, and transmit their work electronically

    to terminals in agency offices. This is one way in which agencies can

    reduce the high cost of renting city offices.

    3. Business-to-business agencies:

    As the name implies, these agencies specialize in advertisingindustrial and technical goods, which are generally combined as

    business-to-business advertising mainly in the trade and technical

    press, at trade exhibitions, and by means of printed materials such as

    sales literature, catalogues and technical data sheets. Payment is

    usually on a fee basis. Often, the principals of the agency will have

    worked in industry, perhaps as advertising managers. The creative

    staff will be familiar with the technology and its jargon and capable of

    writing and designing authentically. This kind of advertising calls for

    meticulous attention to detail. Although the accounts are smaller in

    value, they tend to be more stable frequently in search of fresh ideas.

    Copy writing

    Writing copy that sells

    The creative team:

    Advertising must present the most persuasive selling messages.

    Copywriting is the art of writing selling messages. It is salesmanship in

    print. If it fails to provoke the desired attention, interest, desire, conviction

    18

  • 8/9/2019 20203988-AdS-at-Mudra

    19/73

    and action it has failed. Of course, it is likely to be assisted by other forms

    of creativity such as pictures, typography and perhaps colour, but the

    copywriter should thinkvisuallyand direct these other elements to achieve

    his or her purpose.

    The copywriter should work closely with the visualiser andtypographer to obtain artistic and typographical interpretation of his or her

    copy. The copywriter cannot successfully work in isolation, merely writing

    the words, with artists working in similar isolation to create the physical

    appearance of the advertisement. Ideally, and for practical reasons, the

    complete advertisement should be a team effort. The design or layout should

    give effective presentation of the words, the illustration should give

    emphasis and support, and the typography (choice of typefaces, and their

    size and weight) should make the copy legible and give emphases where

    necessary. The copywriter should always try to write the final appearance of

    the advertisement in mind.

    Basic rules:

    The essential characteristics of copywriting are as follows:

    1. It must sell, even if it reminds.

    2. The secret of successful advertising is repetition, whether by

    continuously advertising or by the use of repetition in the

    advertisement.

    19

  • 8/9/2019 20203988-AdS-at-Mudra

    20/73

    3. People do not necessarily want to read the advertisement. Therefore

    the message must not waste words, and convey its message quickly

    and with impact.

    4. If the reader hesitates at an unknown word, attention is lost. Therefore

    every word must be easily understood and there must be noambiguity.

    5. Short words, short sentences, short paragraphs help to demonstrate the

    message and make it easy and quick to read and absorb.

    6. While taking care to writ clearly and accurately when usinglanguage,

    copywriters must also develop skills forabusinglanguage to achieve

    the results demanded by the brief.

    Layout and typography

    Planning the advertisement

    1. Teamwork:

    20

  • 8/9/2019 20203988-AdS-at-Mudra

    21/73

    Advertisements are often produced separately by the art director, who

    designs them, and the copywriter, who writes the text and creates the basic

    idea and theme known as the copy platform. As has already been

    emphasized in 11:1 these two creative experts should work as a team. The

    copywriter should think visually, that is considered how the words should be

    seen as well as read. It is a bad system for the two to work in isolation, and

    for the visualiser merely to fit words to design. If there is no teamwork, and

    no discussion between visualiser and copywriter, the result could be an

    advertisement crammed with too much copy printed too small to be legible.

    Similarly, the copywriter could suggest how the advertisements should be

    illustrated, while the visualiser could suggest how many words are required

    for the available space.

    2. AIDCA formula:

    This well-used formula helps in the overall planning of an

    advertisement, and it is particularly applicable to the hard-selling

    advertisement. It applies not only to the copy, layout and typography but

    also to the choice of medium, the space size and its position in the

    publication. An analysis of the five elements of the formula will explain this

    more precisely.

    3. Attention:

    Unless an advertisement grabs attention, diverting the reader from

    either the editorial or other advertisement, it will not even be noticed.

    Attention may be achieved by position in the publication (either which page

    or on which part of a page), or by the size or shape of the advertisement.

    Even a tiny advertisement will attract attention if it is in the right position

    21

  • 8/9/2019 20203988-AdS-at-Mudra

    22/73

    (e.g. a house for sale classified or a resort ad in a section on holidays).

    Creative devices can be used to attract attention, e.g. colour, headline,

    Illustration together with the general layout and choice of typeface. Thus,

    attention-getting may depends on a blend of factors, not forgetting the

    subject of the advertisement itself.

    4. Interest:

    There is no point in using these devices to make people look at the

    advertisement unless it also gains theirinterest. It may do so selectively, and

    certain readers will be interested in advertisement for, say, cosmetics, foods

    etc. interest may be achieved by the offer, the picture, or the copy and these

    will in turn be strengthened by the impact of the wording and presentation.

    5. Desire:

    After attraction and interest, readers must be encouraged to desire the

    product or service. It is most important element. How, creativity, can it be

    made desirable? What benefits are offered? There is an exchange situation:

    what will the reader gain by paying the price? Why should the reader

    sacrifice his or her money? answering these questions in order to makepeople to desire.

    6. Conviction:

    It is all very creating the wish to buy, own or enjoy the product or

    service, but it is also necessary to inspire convictionthat it really is worth

    buying and that it will give satisfaction. This may require convincing facts,

    proofs of added value, performance, testimonials and so on. Readers are

    22

  • 8/9/2019 20203988-AdS-at-Mudra

    23/73

    likely to lose interest if essential information is missing from an

    advertisement.

    Such information could include the price, which can be one way of

    judging a product or service. Is it good value for money?

    7. Action:

    The next question is how can the advertisement induce response?

    Some advertisement merely remind, others build up interest and desire

    against immediate action.

    Design and layout

    The design of a press advertisement goes through a number of stages. First,

    rough scribbles, scamps or visualiser will be sketched in pencil or marker

    pen, and numerous experimental versions will be produced by the visualiser,

    until the final layout.

    23

  • 8/9/2019 20203988-AdS-at-Mudra

    24/73

    Final idea will be worked up in a form which is sufficiently intelligible and

    can be shown to the client for approval. When this provisional layout is

    approved, artwork is commissioned and the layout artist produces finished

    layouts with typographical mark-ups, regarding typeface and sizes.

    The eight laws of design:

    The basic principles of design, which can be applied to advertisement, are

    Law of unity

    Law of variety

    Law of balance

    Law of rhythm

    law of harmony

    law of proportion

    law of scale

    Law of emphasis

    Typography:

    Typography is the art of selecting typeface, of which there are

    thousands of designs; blending different typefaces; casting off the number of

    24

  • 8/9/2019 20203988-AdS-at-Mudra

    25/73

    words to fit spaces; and marking up copy for typesetting, using different

    sizes and weights.

    Television commercials:

    Storyboard:

    The visual for a TV commercial is a set of drawing set in TV-screen

    shapes or rectangles which tell the story of the proposed commercial. This is

    known as the storyboard. The client approves this, together with the copy,

    before any shooting is done.

    Special effects:

    The agencys TV producer is responsible for the conception of the TV

    commercials. The actual commercial is then made by an outside director and

    production unit. Most commercials are first made on film, but can be

    transferred to video for post-production treatments such as special effects

    and computer graphics.

    This is the first phase of an advertisement. The process of advertising

    making is completed here. But the most important thing is media-

    planning, which is start after the completion of first phase.

    Media- planning:

    Once an advertisement is created, it must be placed through an

    appropriate advertising media. Each advertising media, of which there are

    thousands, has its own unique methods for accepting advertisements, such as

    Different advertising cost structures(i.e., what it costs marketers to place

    an ad),

    Different requirements for accepting ad designs (e.g., size of ad),

    Different ways placements can be purchased (e.g., direct contact with

    media or through third-party seller), and

    Different time schedules (i.e., when ad will be run).

    Understanding the nuances of different media is the role of a media planner,

    who looks for the best media match for a client and also negotiates the best

    deals.

    a) Arrived people above 40 years who seek comfort and also value and

    not just style. But they are choosy of what they want and they select

    b) Young Aspirers from 25-40 years who seek style and want to make a

    statement of their own. They are carefree, relaxed and go for outer

    appearance. These kind of people normally ask is this the trend.

    The positioning route:

    Create a platform wherein the meaning of being different and classy in

    conveyed. Being different is not just the difference in product but also

    looking at things differently in terms of not for the regulars and being

    individualistic.

    Hence the approach adopted was user imagery based.

    Which means the route adopted was not for the regulars because it projects

    graffiti in a different light compared to other designer tiles and at the same

    time it also elevates the users as not being ordinary/ regulars but on the extra

    ordinary side.

    In view of the above, the chosen route was Not for the Regulars.

    It means that

    1) People with extraordinary or different and classy taste prefer Graffiti tiles.

    2) Further these people are ahead of others in terms of thinking, style,

    selection or whatever they do.

    sets you apart from others

    10. Conclusions

    Its difficult to sell anything to people who dont know

    about company or its product.

    Advertising makes the sales happen.

    Advertising is often as important to a small business aslocation, employees, and cash flow.Its an essential form of business

    communication, for both products and services.

    Frequency is a key to successful advertising strategy.

    Frequency is the number of times the average person sees an ad.

    The objective of advertising agency is to hammer

    companys message into the minds of their potential customers.

    Company wants them (potential customers) to recall companysmessage and be motivated to buy from them (company) at the critical

    moment.

    To accomplish this, frequency is vital. A consistent

    advertising program with a well thought out theme is vital to

    increasing sales through advertising.

    65

    66/73

    So more and more companies are heavily advertising their

    products and also allocate more budgets for that.

    In todays competitive environment a good advertising

    campaign makes a large difference in companys business.

    Mudra successfully creates their clients Brand Image and

    their consistency in their work make them at top and sustaining their

    top position in future also.

    For Graffiti, creates its brand image. Now people know

    about Graffiti.

    Print ads in dailies/magazines are not as successful as ads onradio or on hoardings.
