LITERATURE REVIEW

Overview of traditional Advertising

Issue addressed first is advertising clutter, a cycle which results in numerous advertisement growth to which consumers are exposed every day. The main effects of media clutter are the reduced customer attention to promotional messages (Rosengren 2008; Rotfeld,2006b), the negative impact on customers attitude towards the ad their exposure medium(Ha,1996), the reduced memorability of the ad and the promoted brand (Webb & Ray,1979, Ray & Webb,1986;Hammer, Riebe & Kennedy,2009). The second issue or factor which have affected the effectiveness of traditional advertising is due to the increasing number of advertising reading proficiency. Nowadays consumers understand the vocabulary, the elements and the style used in advertising and at the same time, to decode complex visual images and make inferences on based on minimal clues (O'Donahoe & Tynan,1998). Numerous studies shows that high level of advertising reading proficiency leads to increased incredulity towards advertisement which in turn can be understand with mistrust, negative attitude towards the advertised message (Moore & Rodger, 2005; Obermiller,spangenberg,& MacLachlan, 2005), Consumers negative attitude towards advertisement can lead to ignorance form of behavior.

Overview of Brand ActivationAlberts (2009) : Brand Activation is the seamless integration of all available communication means ina creative platform in order to activate consumers. Activation means stimulating:1. interest2. trial3. loyalty

Brand Activation moves the center to the center of advertising: invigorating the purchasing methodology. There are different reasons why this center is so essential and why sponsors pick Brand initiation of the conventional crusades. Brand enactment addresses the key issues in showcasing:

Data choice

Individuals channel the correspondence implies they are defied with. They essentially overlook the greater part of it.

Relevance Advising gets to be conveying when the message is pertinent to the beneficiary.

Experiences

Encounters are persuading. Additionally the knowledge of others. Dynamic reference because of a constructive involvement with the brand is the most capable instrument to initiate individuals.

Deliver the confirmation

The cases 'washes whiter than white', 'dependably close by', and so forth are all truly well-known, anyway it is even now publicizing. Individuals think publicizing is unlikely, so these cases remain unrealistic. Until demonstrated. A Brand actuation program supplies verification of the case. Brand actuation demonstrates the claims that are made. Consider Red Bull and Extreme Sports, Amstel and the Ballenbar, Unox and the New Year Swim. Getting consideration for a brand message is getting to be progressively troublesome. The new route is to demonstrate the message. This does not just make the message sound, it likewise makes it different.

Interaction

New media has created an unrest in correspondence: the effortlessness of cooperation. Practically everybody has entry to web. Animate individuals to cooperate. A Brand

Page 8: MBR Final report.docx

Activation stage regularly has a site at the premise. The buyer gets to the site of his/her own accord and thusly needs contact. A heavenly chance to offer an experience that impacts the purchasing methodology.

Morel et al (2002) : Brand activation is looking deeper into the possibilities within the brand, itsstrategy and position to find assets that have relevant consequences for the whole company. A brand can be activated in a range of situations, best summarized in four cornerstones; Products and services, Employees, Identity and Communication.

A dynamic brand offers items and administrations that convey on the brand position. It meets the client in an individual way nearly identified with the position. It likewise has the same appearance autonomous of interface. At the end of the day, the client will see the brand as "one reasonable organization" whether he or she reaches it in computerized or simple media, through an item, vis-à-vis or on the phone. Anyhow mark actuation is additionally conveying the position through publicizing. At the point when enacting a brand, search for the center peculiarities that constitute the brand. It may be the imparted position or guaranteed client advantage, or the organization vision or individuals arrangement – systems and strategies that regularly are pertinent for the entire organization. Along these lines, compelling brand actuation begins with a characterized brand.

According to Kim, Scheufele and Shanahan (2002), agenda setting and priming rely on information processing based on the activation of memory traces. They argue, “decision-making is to a large degree a function of how easily accessible certain relevant considerations are in a person’s mind when he or she makes the decision.” According to Baker, Hutchinson, Moore and Nedungadi (1986), “Brands can be included in an evoked set either by being recognized in the environment or by being recalled from memory.” According to Baker, Hutchinson, Moore and Nedungadi (1986), “Brands can be included in an evoked set either by being recognized in the environment or by being recalled from memory.”

Outline of morals in AdvertisingAlthough the integration of brands in entertainment content is not a new practice, the current landscape of branded entertainment has been subject to increasing scrutiny over the past several years (Johnston, 2008). Clashes with respect to regulation, divulgence, morals and buyer prosperity are given more consideration in today's mechanically determined computerized age. Research shows that consumers’ attitudes toward advertising are a combination of positive andnegative feelings. Overall, the most common underlying consumer beliefs about advertising include: Advertising as an information source, materialism, falsehood and deception, ethics problems, advertising for enjoyment and issues of poor taste/sexuality (Pollay & Mittal, 1993).

Page 9: MBR Final report.docx

Consumers feel advertising can serve a personal use in the form of information sources and pleasurable experiences. When advertising is perceived to take on the role of providing information, it is viewed positively. Additionally, when advertising is entertaining, viewers also tend to respond agreeably (1993).

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

10

Page 11: MBR Final report.docx

Introduction

We used primary survey techniques to collect the data for our research; we also used

secondary techniques mainly for the literature review. Survey is a study of the opinions of a

group of people, based on a series of questions in form of a questionnaire. For our research we

distributed online questionnaires to the top managers, marketing professionals and marketing

specialists to help us conduct our research. The survey we conducted was self-administered, in

which questionnaires were distributed by each member of the group. The questionnaires were

filled by the population sample according to their fondness.

Focus Group

The focus group on the stated topic was conducted on 2nd December, 2014 with Zoya as the

moderator. Members were asked about their knowledge, views and personal experiences in

regard to brand activation. 3 of the members were in favour of traditional marketing channels

while 5 were mostly aligned towards brand activation. This also included Mr.Amir Saeed,

currently teaching at IoBM. Another conclusion drawn was that both are important but brand

activation could be more effective than traditional marketing.

Survey Tool

ANALYSIS AND CONCLUSION

Analysis:

The respondents in our survey included 56% males while 44% females which was more or less an equal representation of general opinion. A huge majority of them were 26 years or older, and our survey was also intended to cater to the same target segment that comprised of marketing professionals which was also proven by the results that 94% of our respondents were marketing professionals. 89% of these were well aware of Brand Activation were 94% were well aware of traditional marketing. Therefore, it can be concluded that the target respondents were well versed in regard to the topic being researched and therefore their answers can be drawn to be as representative of the entire population.

As it was also discovered in the focus group, 94% of the respondents agreed that brand activation plays a major role in purchasing decisions and promoting the brand. All the respondents had 1 or more experiences of brand activation apart from being persuaded to buy a commodity based on brand activation. However, traditional marketing is also considered to be effective by these respondents as they had also made purchases being influenced by traditional marketing approaches.

A huge majority voted for Personal Connection when asked what attracts them the most in a promotional campaign. Keeping this statistic in mind, brand activation has the ability to better personally connect with the customer in contrast to traditional marketing where a single message is intended for a huge segment of the population. In today’s environment, customers have become more demanding for better and customized service offerings and traditional advertisements often fail to play that role.

The respondents also voted that Brand Activation provides a better worth for money, in terms of return on investment and marketing development. The respondents comprised of marketing professionals and therefore they have personal in-hand market experience of both these alternative mediums. They believe that brand activation provides a better value for money, as its aim is direct and target market is defined. They are better able to target a particular target segment and persuasively convey their message through a human element rather than relying on traditional marketing to reach a wide number of the population. 72% also agreed that Brand Activation is usually more persuasive in contrast to Traditional Marketing in terms of making a purchase.

All those aspects discussed in the focus group were proven in the research for instance the fact that marketing professionals believe that traditional marketing is more effective in reaching the masses in comparison to brand activation. Whereas brand activation is usually limited to a particular location or geographic area, traditional marketing can reach anywhere. Moreover, it was also proven that brand activation is more effective is the brand is new as the customers are not aware of it and would rather

23

Page 24: MBR Final report.docx

want to try it first through brand activation instead of relying on a commercial to make a purchase. Another aspect discussed in the focus group was also proven which was that traditional would be more effective if the brand is expensive. Probable reasons for this are that it would be unsafe and unfeasible to carry around expensive products for displaying. For such unique and exclusive products, a customer approaching the retailers appears more appropriate. Moreover, when asked which kind of marketing were they able to recall, a majority of them were able to remember traditional marketing activities. This could be due to the fact the brand activation is comparatively new in nature and therefore it will take its time to assimilate in Pakistani society.

However, they also concluded that Brand Activation triggers purchasing decisions more than traditional advertisements. As discussed in the focus group, most marketing professionals replied that they would opt for a combination of both approaches rather than going solo on a particular approach for marketing their products.

Conclusion:

The conclusion that can be drawn from this research is that Brand Activation appears to be a rather effective way of building rapport with customers. Most marketing managers consider it to be more effective, and essential in triggering purchase decisions in contrast to traditional marketing. Marketing professionals believe that Brand Activation provides a better worth for money and allows the marketers to personalize their message for the customer. However, it was also identified that for certain products traditional advertising would be more effective for instance products that are expensive. It was also decided that traditional advertising is better in reaching the masses in contrast to brand activation which is limited to a particular geographic area. All the conclusions drawn from the focus group were proven through the research. The most important finding, as also discussed in the focus group, was the marketing professionals opt to choose a combination of both these approaches as both these approaches have pros as well as cons. However, with the passage of time, marketing professionals are moving more towards innovative approaches such as brand activation rather than relying on traditional marketing. Organizations not involving themselves in such activities are likely to be unable to sustain market share in the future as customers are increasingly looking towards companies who can customize their offerings based on customer needs and requirements.

Summary: To find the p-value for the hypothesis test for the difference in means, look in the column labeled “Sig. (2-tailed)” in the “t-test for Equality of Means” section, and in the second row (labeled “Equal variances not assumed”).

Note that since the p-value given by SPSS is 2-tailed, you need to divide it in half for a 1-tailed test. In the above example the 1-tailed p-value would be .001.
