Unit introduction
In addition to meeting their marketing aims, clients do not expect to see any mistakes in the finished advertising product for which they have provided a brief and paid for. Everybody involved in the production of an advertisement has a responsibility to the person they report to, as well as to the client, to that it is monitored and checked at all stages of its production to ensure that the finished advertising product is of the highest standard technically as well as qualitatively, and meets the client’s needs. In this unit learners will be introduced to some of the requirements and expectations that clients have for the content of marketing communications, which should be equally important to the producer. Learners will be guided on how to select and brief suppliers of marketing communications, and how to manage the work they produce.
