What are the steps of the creative pyramid and what role does creativity play in each?
Your Answer:
The five steps of the creative pyramid are action, desire, conviction, comprehension, and awareness. The creative pyramid is a model that can guide the creative team as it converts the advertising agency and the idea into an advertisement. In the action step, creativity is used to create attention that leads to perception. This may look like an artist using creaivity to express the adversiting concept in a unique way. Creavitity plays a role in interests because the writer’s and designer’s of an ad must appeal to their audience so they finish consuming the entirety of the ad. The goal is to ensure that the prospect is wanting to read until the end. This may be done through relating to their needs and wants. This may also look like story or cartoon-creation. Creativity relates to credibility given that the audience will want to see how a brand uniquely stands out, yet still follows protocols for priming their ad, product, or service for the product to see. The context is how a brand looks and how it is distinguished from the rest of the products in the market. Creativity relates to desire because the ad creators and copywriters use imagination to help the reader visualize their desired outcome with the product or service that they are being marketed. Action relates to creativity because the advertisement creator will have to create an activity that the prospect is willing to do. They will have to understand how the prospect thinks and how they relate to the action that they are presenting. An idea that comes to mind with Instagram marketing is the usage of pop quizzes.

If you were a media planner, what magazines would you consider for a Toyota ad? What if the ad were specifically for a Toyota Prius hybrid vs. a Toyota Tacoma truck.
What magazines would you consider for a Tide detergent ad?
What magazines would you consider for a Cannon or Nikon DSLR camera ad?
Explain why you would make these particular choices and what factors influenced your thinking for each one.
Your Answer:
From what I understand, is that I am able to locate prospects for an item that fits outside of the niche of a magazine. I am able to focus on the prospects that would frequent the magazines and pitch my product to them.
I can also focus on the product and place this into a magazine that would fit its niche.
Within the niche of automobile, we can place an ad for Toyota in auto magazines. Some examples that come to mind are Consumer Reports, Four Wheeler, Hot Rod, Kiplingers, Motortrend, Motorcycle Classics, Plane & Pilot, and Yachts international.
For a Toyota Tacoma truck, we can speculate that the item would focus on a more masculine audience. We can also look at the uses that the truck would have for the prospect and select a magazine that would fit this. We could place this product in the category of Men’s Magazine.
Family Handyman, Golf, Golf Digest, GQ, Guideposts, Marlin, Men’s Journal would be examples of magazines that would be targeted within the Men’s Magazine niche.
When it comes to the uses of a Tacoma truck, I am thinking travel and home construction. We can place these ads within the Travel & Places magazine and the Home & Garden magazine niche. Elle Decor, Family Handyman, Farm & Ranchliving, Fine Gardening, Traditional Home, Midwest Living, Travel + Leisure, and Country would be magazines that could be used.
If the ad was for a Toyota Prius Hybrid, this could be extended to a universal audience. We could speculate that this product would reach men and women in the United States. We could place the ads in both Men & Women magazines
For a Tide Detergent ad, I would consider pitching the product to stay-at-home mothers. Women’s magazine and Parenting magazines would be areas that this would be pitched.
For a Cannon or Nikon DSLR camera, I would consider a Computer & Electronics Magazine. The magazines that this would be placed into would be Consumer Reports, Kiplinger’s Personal Finance, Popular Mechanics, and WIRED. What influenced my decision for this is the uses for the product fit the niche.
Why might an advertiser print an insert to be delivered with a newspaper rather than just buying a standard page in a newspaper? Why doesn’t the advertiser just mail or deliver the insert separately?
Your Answer:
There limitations involved with printing an insert that can allow advertisers to reach a specific group of people within a certain area. The advertiser may find it cheaper to do this rather than mailing inserts or delivering them from door-to-door. Advertisers who find it less costly to do this may be national advertisers, retail stores, or car dealers.
