Contributions of Advertising agencies to the Business World

Chaptr-1

Objective of the Study

 

As a student of marketing I encouraged to find the similarities between the learning and real world situation. So, this can be considered as the objective of the study in a broader sense.

 

Advertising, one of the core terms of Marketing, is vital for every business organization. And the ad agencies are producing these advertisements and informing the people about company as well as about the products and services. The ad agencies are doing one the most important marketing tasks. The main objective of the study of is to understand the real scenery of the ad agencies and to get a practical knowledge about the activities of an ad agency.

 

In my academic courses, I have got lots of theoretical ideas about advertisements and ad agencies. By doing this study, I am now able to compare what I have learned in my course with the realistic corporate world.

 

 Methodology of the study


Since response is one of the prime ad-agencies in Bangladesh, the topic and objective of the report was such that only primary data wasn’t enough. But try to get some relevant data through their archival documents.

 

Primary Research: Several face-to face interviews with right designated people of the company were practiced. The interviewee was the Mr.A.N.A. Anwar, the consultant, communication and Polash Kundu, media executive

 

Secondary Research: Among the secondary research internet (Company website) and prospectus, scripts, archival documents of the company are the source of information collection.

 

 Limitations of the study

 

There were some limitations in gathering information for this report. These are as follows:

 

ð The main limitation I faced in preparing this report was obstacles in finding information.

ð Getting Relevant papers and documents were quite prohibited.

ð Many procedural matters were conducted directly in the operations by the top management level which may also gave some sort of restrictions.

ð Moreover, it was not possible to get all required information of the company as these are treated as confidential company information.

An overall description of an Ad agency

An advertising agency handles part or all marketing communications activities on behalf of a client organization. The agencies themselves tend to vary in size from small, perhaps a handful of people, to vast – where many thousands of employees make up the company. A commission is generally taken by the agency which tends to be taken from the media purchases of the client organisation.

This is done rather like a theatrical agent would take a percentage of the income of an actor for whom employment had been found. The agency may also take payment from the media owners (i.e. sometimes take a discount and do not pass it on to the client). More transparent means of payment are becoming more popular, with some agencies being paid-by-results.

There are many types of agency, but it is generally accepted that the main ones are include full-service agency, a la carte agency, or specialist agency. A full-service agency will take on the whole project or campaign. An a la carte agency will offer some aspects of a campaign such as media buying, rather like buying items from a menu. A specialist agency tends to be small and more focused on a specific aspect of marketing communications and/or a specific market such as Internet Marketing.

A Full-Service Agency will offer:

  • Account management.
  • Creative.
  • Media.
  • Traffic and production.
  • Account planning.
  • Account management.

Account managers work for an agency with the client (an agency’s customers are called ‘clients’). Very often they will spend a lot of time with the client working as part of their marketing team. This is one way in which an agency works closely with its client and why the ‘chemistry’ between a client and its agency needs to be right. The account manager makes sure that the correct information is passed from the client to the other members of the agency. He or she is a co-ordinator and time manager. The account planner will work on a brief that is fed back to the agency team.

 

Creative Team

The first internal agency team members to see the brief tend to be the creatives and the media planners. The brief contains a ‘proposition’ that the client wishes to communicate to the target audience. The creative team will transform the proposition into something exciting and attractive to the target audience. The creative team decide upon the ‘creative concept.’ This will be a motivational idea. The words used to express the creative concept are called ‘copy.’ The images, pictures and diagrams are created i.e. the ‘design’ or ‘layout.’ This is done by ‘designers’ and ‘copywriters.’ Beware some creatives! Creatives tend to be artistic and innovative. Hence their advice should be highly regarded and any criticism should be constructive.

Traffic and Production Team

The traffic and media team are in charge of the production of the physical and artistic output, i.e. the marketing communication. In the case of a TV advert, they would commission scripts, recruit a ctors (mainly via agents), film crews and supporting activities (such as costumes and catering). All ads are different and so the specifics will vary. In the case of print advertising, the traffic and production team would commission and sign-off all printed advertising material such as direct marketing materials, magazine ads or posters.

Account Planning Team

The account planning team work on the ‘customer’s’ perspective, and take an outward look at the world. They support the creative teams by supplying data and opinion on what I actually occurring in the marketing in which advertising is to be placed. They tend to use secondary data to support decisions, and would rarely commission original research. However, with material supplied my organisations such as Mori, Datamonitor, ACORN, and other – the account planning team can build an image of segments to help the creatives.

Media Team

The media team will organise the timing and scheduling of the marketing communications campaign. They will look at the range of media to be exploited, and then look at the best slots in which to run advertising. They will help a client to decide upon the duration of and individual slot, and how many of them to run. Here the expense and return to the client are key factors that influence decision-making. The two main skills of the media team are media planning and media buying. Today there is a wealth of data on which media buying can be based. There is software for planning and simulation.

 Financial terms of Response Ltd.

 

The business billing of Response ltd

Response started its business with a very high ambition. The growth rate was very high. Within very short time it achieved huge success. But, ultimately, it failed to retain its good position in the industry. From the following graph we can say that in its first year operation it earned Tk.150 million. Up to 2004, the growth rate was upward. From 2005, the growth rate started to downward. There are a number of reasons for this downward rate. High competition, lack of expert employees and not having enough capital are the main reasons for this bad condition.
