Explain the three types of advertising and describe the major steps of developing an advertising campaign.



Advertising is a paid non-personal message communicated to a specific audience through a mass medium.

  1. Primary-demand advertising promotes the products of an entire industry rather than just a single brand. 
  2. Selective-demand advertising promotes a particular brand of product. 
  3. Institutional advertising is image-building advertising for a firm.
An advertising campaign is developed in several stages. A firm first identifies and analyzes its advertising target. 

The goals of the campaign must be clearly defined. Then the firm develops the advertising platform and determines the size of advertising budget.


The next steps are to develop a media plan, to create the advertising message, and to execute the campaign.

Finally, promotion managers must evaluate the effectiveness of the advertising efforts before, during, and/or after the campaign.
