Work in pairs. The following are logos of eight famous companies. How and where do they advertise their products?
Ikea: catalogues Nestl’s: sports sponsorship, outdoor billboards, TV commercials China Unicom: outdoor billboards, TV commercials Starbucks: word of mouth Volkswagon: magazines, TV commercials, outdoor billboards
new products—the casual clothing range. We’ll be running a major advertising campaign for them. Robert: Well, the advertising campaign obviously has to be aimed at young people. Brian: Yes, and what’s urgent now is to come up with something that is really attractive and effective. Robert: Did our sponsorship proposals go anywhere? Brian: Not certain yet, but it looks as though we could be signing a sponsorship deal with one of China’s first league football clubs. Robert: Great. And what about the posters? I suggest we don’t put up posters outside urban areas. Posters in the countryside are seen as environmentally unfriendly by our target customers. We’ve chosen one or two sites in major cities and put up very large posters on the side of buildings and smaller ones on bus stops used by university and college students. Brian: That’s good. Any other ideas? Robert: What if we advertised on rock radio stations? That would reach the right audience. And it wouldn’t be too expensive.
