Question 1 of 30
1. Question
A beverage company is preparing to launch a new health drink and wants to conduct marketing research to understand consumer preferences and behaviors. They are particularly interested in gathering insights about what features consumers value most in health drinks, such as taste, nutritional content, and packaging. The company is considering various research methodologies to achieve this goal. Which research methodology would be most effective for this scenario, considering the need for both in-depth insights and quantifiable data?
Correct
To determine the most appropriate marketing research methodology for a new product launch, we need to consider the objectives of the research, the target audience, and the type of data required. In this scenario, the company aims to understand consumer preferences and behaviors regarding a new health drink. The best approach would be to use a combination of qualitative and quantitative research methods. Qualitative methods, such as focus groups or in-depth interviews, can provide insights into consumer attitudes and motivations. Quantitative methods, like surveys, can quantify these insights and provide statistical data on consumer preferences. Therefore, the most suitable methodology would be a mixed-methods approach, which combines both qualitative and quantitative research to gain a comprehensive understanding of the market.

Question 2 of 30
2. Question
In a scenario where a company is launching a new product, it decides to allocate 20% of its marketing budget specifically to sales promotions. This strategy leads to a 15% increase in sales during the promotional period. Simultaneously, the overall marketing strategy, which encompasses advertising, public relations, and digital marketing efforts, is projected to generate a 10% increase in sales. If the company’s total sales prior to the promotion were $100,000, what would be the total expected increase in sales as a result of integrating the sales promotions with the overall marketing strategy?
Correct
To determine the effectiveness of integrating sales promotions with an overall marketing strategy, we can analyze a hypothetical scenario where a company launches a new product. The company allocates 20% of its marketing budget to sales promotions, which results in a 15% increase in sales during the promotion period. The overall marketing strategy, which includes advertising, public relations, and digital marketing, is expected to yield a 10% increase in sales. To find the total expected increase in sales, we can calculate the weighted impact of both strategies. Let’s assume the total sales before the promotion is $100,000. The sales increase from the promotion would be: Sales increase from promotion = 20% of $100,000 = $20,000 (15% increase) Sales increase from overall marketing strategy = 10% of $100,000 = $10,000 Total expected increase in sales = $20,000 + $10,000 = $30,000 Thus, the integration of sales promotions with the overall marketing strategy results in a total expected increase of $30,000.

Question 3 of 30
3. Question
In the context of modern marketing practices, how has the integration of technology reshaped the way businesses engage with their customers? Consider a scenario where a company has transitioned from traditional advertising methods to a digital-first approach. Previously, their print advertisements reached an audience of 100,000, but now their social media campaigns reach 500,000 users with a 10% engagement rate. What does this shift indicate about the effectiveness of technology in marketing, particularly in terms of customer interaction and engagement metrics?
Correct
To understand the impact of technology on marketing practices, we can analyze how digital tools have transformed traditional marketing strategies. For instance, the rise of social media platforms has shifted the focus from one-way communication to interactive engagement. This change can be quantified by examining the increase in customer engagement metrics, such as likes, shares, and comments, which can be compared to traditional advertising metrics like reach and impressions. If a company previously had a reach of 100,000 through print ads and now achieves 500,000 through social media with a 10% engagement rate, the engagement would be 50,000. This illustrates a significant shift in how marketing effectiveness is measured, emphasizing the importance of technology in creating more dynamic and measurable marketing strategies.

Question 4 of 30
4. Question
In the context of the creative process in advertising, consider a team that has conducted extensive market research and gathered insights about their target audience’s preferences and behaviors. After this preparation phase, they take a step back to allow their ideas to develop subconsciously. When they reconvene, one team member presents a groundbreaking concept that perfectly aligns with the audience’s needs and desires. Which stage of the creative process does this scenario best illustrate, and why is it considered pivotal in the development of effective advertising strategies?
Correct
The creative process in advertising typically involves several stages: preparation, incubation, illumination, and verification. In the preparation stage, the team gathers information and insights about the target audience, market trends, and the product itself. During incubation, ideas are allowed to develop subconsciously. Illumination is the moment when a breakthrough idea emerges, and finally, verification involves refining and testing the idea to ensure it meets the campaign objectives. Understanding this process is crucial for developing effective advertising strategies that resonate with consumers. In this scenario, the question revolves around identifying which stage of the creative process is most critical for generating innovative ideas that align with consumer needs. The correct answer is the illumination stage, as it is where the actual creative ideas are born. This stage is essential because it transforms insights and research into actionable concepts that can be developed into advertising campaigns.

Question 5 of 30
5. Question
In the context of the marketing media and advertising industry, how would you assess the impact of networking and relationship-building on career advancement? Consider a scenario where a marketing professional attends a large industry event and successfully connects with various stakeholders. If they establish 20 new contacts, and 5 of these lead to further discussions about potential collaborations, what does this imply about the effectiveness of their networking strategy? Discuss the implications of these connections on their professional growth and the potential for future opportunities in the industry.
Correct
To understand the importance of networking and relationship-building in the marketing media and advertising industry, consider a scenario where a marketing professional attends a major industry conference. By engaging with peers, potential clients, and industry leaders, they can establish valuable connections that may lead to future collaborations, partnerships, or job opportunities. The effectiveness of networking can be quantified by considering the number of meaningful connections made during such events. If a professional meets 20 individuals, and 5 of those connections lead to follow-up meetings, the conversion rate of networking efforts can be calculated as follows: Conversion Rate = (Number of Follow-ups / Total Connections) * 100 Conversion Rate = (5 / 20) * 100 = 25% This indicates that 25% of the connections made were significant enough to warrant further discussion. This example illustrates how effective networking can enhance career prospects and business opportunities in the marketing media and advertising sector.

Question 6 of 30
6. Question
In a recent campaign planning session, a marketing team was tasked with optimizing their media buying strategy for a total budget of £50,000. They evaluated three different media channels: Television, Digital, and Print, with respective CPM rates of £30, £15, and £25. After calculating the total impressions each channel would deliver based on the allocated budget, the team found that Digital media provided the highest reach. Given this scenario, which media buying strategy should the team prioritize to maximize their campaign’s effectiveness?
Correct
To determine the most effective media buying strategy for a campaign with a budget of £50,000, we need to analyze the cost per thousand impressions (CPM) for different media options. Let’s assume the following CPM rates for three media channels: Television at £30, Digital at £15, and Print at £25. 1. Calculate the total impressions for each channel: – Television: £50,000 / £30 CPM = 1,666.67 (approximately 1,667 thousand impressions) – Digital: £50,000 / £15 CPM = 3,333.33 (approximately 3,333 thousand impressions) – Print: £50,000 / £25 CPM = 2,000 (exactly 2,000 thousand impressions) 2. Now, we compare the total impressions: – Television: 1,667 thousand impressions – Digital: 3,333 thousand impressions – Print: 2,000 thousand impressions From this analysis, Digital media provides the highest number of impressions for the budget allocated. Therefore, the most effective media buying strategy in this scenario would be to allocate the budget primarily towards Digital media.

Question 7 of 30
7. Question
In a recent social media marketing campaign, a brand achieved a total of 1,500 likes, 300 shares, and 200 comments across its platforms. If the campaign reached a total of 10,000 followers, what was the engagement rate for this campaign? Consider how this metric can influence future marketing strategies and the importance of understanding audience interaction with content.
Correct
To determine the effectiveness of a social media marketing strategy, we need to analyze the engagement metrics from a recent campaign. Let’s say the campaign generated 1,500 likes, 300 shares, and 200 comments across various platforms. The total engagement can be calculated by adding these metrics together: Total Engagement = Likes + Shares + Comments Total Engagement = 1,500 + 300 + 200 Total Engagement = 2,000 Now, to assess the engagement rate, we need to know the total number of followers across all platforms. Assume the campaign reached 10,000 followers. The engagement rate can be calculated using the formula: Engagement Rate = (Total Engagement / Total Followers) * 100 Engagement Rate = (2,000 / 10,000) * 100 Engagement Rate = 20% Thus, the engagement rate of the social media marketing strategy is 20%. This metric is crucial as it indicates how well the audience is interacting with the content. A higher engagement rate suggests that the content resonates with the audience, leading to better brand awareness and potential conversions. Understanding engagement rates helps marketers refine their strategies, focusing on content types that yield higher interactions.

Question 8 of 30
8. Question
A company is planning a marketing campaign with a base cost of $5000. They decide to allocate 20% of the base cost towards social responsibility initiatives. What will be the total cost of the marketing campaign after including the social responsibility cost? Calculate the total cost using the formula: $$ \text{Total Cost} = \text{Base Cost} + \text{Social Responsibility Cost} $$ where the Social Responsibility Cost is defined as: $$ \text{Social Responsibility Cost} = \text{Percentage} \times \text{Base Cost} $$ Given that the percentage allocated for social responsibility is 20%, what is the total cost of the campaign?
Correct
To determine the total cost of a marketing campaign that incorporates social responsibility, we can use the following formula: $$ \text{Total Cost} = \text{Base Cost} + \text{Social Responsibility Cost} $$ Assuming the base cost of the campaign is $C_b = 5000$ and the social responsibility cost is $C_s = 20\%$ of the base cost, we can calculate the social responsibility cost as follows: $$ C_s = 0.20 \times C_b = 0.20 \times 5000 = 1000 $$ Now, substituting the values into the total cost formula: $$ \text{Total Cost} = C_b + C_s = 5000 + 1000 = 6000 $$ Thus, the total cost of the marketing campaign that includes social responsibility initiatives is $6000. In marketing, incorporating social responsibility can significantly impact the overall budget of a campaign. Companies often allocate a percentage of their marketing budget to initiatives that promote social good, which can enhance brand image and customer loyalty. In this scenario, the base cost of the campaign is $5000, and the additional $1000 allocated for social responsibility reflects a commitment to ethical practices. This approach not only fulfills corporate social responsibility (CSR) objectives but also aligns with consumer expectations, as modern consumers increasingly prefer brands that demonstrate social awareness. Therefore, understanding the financial implications of such initiatives is crucial for marketers aiming to balance profitability with ethical considerations.

Question 9 of 30
9. Question
A company recently launched a marketing campaign with an investment of £50,000. After the campaign concluded, the total revenue generated was £80,000. As the marketing manager, you are tasked with evaluating the effectiveness of this campaign. What is the Return on Investment (ROI) for this marketing strategy, and what does this indicate about the campaign’s success? Consider how this metric can inform future marketing decisions and adjustments to strategy.
Correct
To evaluate the effectiveness of a marketing strategy, we can use the Return on Investment (ROI) formula, which is calculated as follows: ROI = (Net Profit / Cost of Investment) x 100 In this scenario, let’s assume a company invested £50,000 in a marketing campaign. The campaign generated £80,000 in revenue. To find the net profit, we subtract the cost of the investment from the revenue: Net Profit = Revenue – Cost of Investment Net Profit = £80,000 – £50,000 Net Profit = £30,000 Now, we can calculate the ROI: ROI = (£30,000 / £50,000) x 100 ROI = 0.6 x 100 ROI = 60% This means that for every pound spent on the marketing campaign, the company earned £1.60 back, indicating a successful marketing strategy. In evaluating and adjusting marketing strategies, understanding ROI is crucial. A high ROI suggests that the marketing efforts are effective and should be continued or expanded. Conversely, a low ROI may indicate the need for adjustments in the strategy, such as targeting a different audience, changing the messaging, or reallocating the budget to more effective channels. This analysis helps marketers make informed decisions about future investments and optimize their marketing efforts for better performance.

Question 10 of 30
10. Question
In a recent direct marketing campaign, a company utilized three different channels: mail, telemarketing, and online advertising. They sent out 1,000 mail pieces, made 500 telemarketing calls, and reached 5,000 users through online ads. The response rates for each channel were 2% for mail, 5% for telemarketing, and 1% for online marketing. Based on these figures, which direct marketing strategy proved to be the most effective in terms of response rate?
Correct
To determine the effectiveness of a direct marketing strategy, we can analyze the response rates from different channels. Let’s assume a company conducted a direct marketing campaign using three channels: mail, telemarketing, and online marketing. The company sent out 1,000 mail pieces, made 500 telemarketing calls, and launched an online ad campaign that reached 5,000 users. The response rates were as follows: 2% for mail, 5% for telemarketing, and 1% for online marketing. Calculating the responses: – Mail: 1,000 pieces * 2% = 20 responses – Telemarketing: 500 calls * 5% = 25 responses – Online: 5,000 users * 1% = 50 responses Total responses = 20 (mail) + 25 (telemarketing) + 50 (online) = 95 responses. To find the channel with the highest response rate, we compare the response rates: – Mail: 20 responses from 1,000 = 2% – Telemarketing: 25 responses from 500 = 5% – Online: 50 responses from 5,000 = 1% The highest response rate is from telemarketing at 5%. Thus, the most effective direct marketing strategy in this scenario is telemarketing.

11. Question
In the context of launching a new premium organic skincare line, how should a company effectively integrate the marketing mix elements of Product, Price, Place, and Promotion to ensure a successful market entry? Consider the implications of each element on the overall strategy and how they can complement each other to create a cohesive brand image. What would be the most effective approach to align these four Ps in this scenario?
Correct
To determine the most effective marketing mix for a new product launch, we need to analyze the four Ps: Product, Price, Place, and Promotion. Let’s assume a company is launching a premium organic skincare line. The product must be of high quality, with unique ingredients that differentiate it from competitors. The price should reflect its premium nature, perhaps set at a 20% higher price point than similar products in the market. The place involves selecting high-end retail locations and online platforms that cater to health-conscious consumers. Finally, the promotion strategy should include influencer partnerships and targeted social media campaigns to reach the desired demographic effectively. In this scenario, the marketing mix must be cohesive, ensuring that each element supports the others. For example, a high price point must be justified by the product’s quality and the exclusivity of the retail locations. The promotion should highlight these aspects to attract the target audience. Therefore, the most effective marketing mix for this product would be one that integrates all four Ps seamlessly, ensuring they work together to create a strong brand presence and drive sales.

Question 12 of 30
12. Question
In evaluating the success of a recent marketing campaign, a company invested £50,000 in creative development and production. The campaign resulted in total revenues of £200,000. What is the return on investment (ROI) for this campaign, expressed as a percentage? Consider how this ROI reflects the effectiveness of the creative strategies employed and the implications for future marketing efforts.
Correct
To determine the effectiveness of a creative campaign, we can analyze the return on investment (ROI) based on the costs and revenues generated. Suppose a marketing campaign costs £50,000 and generates £200,000 in revenue. The ROI can be calculated using the formula: ROI = (Net Profit / Cost of Investment) x 100. First, we find the net profit: Net Profit = Revenue – Cost of Investment = £200,000 – £50,000 = £150,000. Now, we can calculate the ROI: ROI = (£150,000 / £50,000) x 100 = 3 x 100 = 300%. This means that for every pound spent on the campaign, £3 was earned in profit, indicating a highly effective campaign. The explanation of ROI is crucial in understanding the impact of creative development and production in marketing. A high ROI suggests that the creative strategies employed were successful in engaging the target audience and driving sales. This understanding helps marketers make informed decisions about future campaigns, allocate budgets effectively, and refine creative approaches based on past performance. Additionally, analyzing ROI can provide insights into which elements of the campaign were most effective, allowing for continuous improvement in creative development processes.

Question 16 of 30
16. Question
In a recent marketing campaign, a company decided to implement a personalized approach to enhance customer experience. They segmented their customer base into three distinct groups based on purchasing behavior: high-value, medium-value, and low-value customers. After the campaign, they observed a 20% increase in engagement from high-value customers, a 15% increase from medium-value customers, and a 5% increase from low-value customers. If the company had 1,000 customers in total, with 300 classified as high-value, 500 as medium-value, and 200 as low-value, what was the total increase in customer engagement as a result of the personalized marketing strategy?
Correct
To understand the impact of personalization on customer experience, we can analyze a scenario where a company implements a personalized marketing strategy. Let’s assume the company has 1,000 customers, and they segment them into three groups based on their purchasing behavior: high-value, medium-value, and low-value customers. By personalizing the marketing messages for each group, the company sees a 20% increase in engagement from high-value customers, a 15% increase from medium-value customers, and a 5% increase from low-value customers. Calculating the total increase in engagement: – High-value customers: 20% of 300 (assuming 300 high-value customers) = 60 – Medium-value customers: 15% of 500 (assuming 500 medium-value customers) = 75 – Low-value customers: 5% of 200 (assuming 200 low-value customers) = 10 Total increase in engagement = 60 + 75 + 10 = 145 Thus, the total increase in engagement due to personalization is 145 customers. Personalization in marketing is crucial as it tailors the customer experience to individual preferences and behaviors, leading to higher engagement and satisfaction. By segmenting customers and customizing messages, companies can foster stronger relationships, enhance loyalty, and ultimately drive sales. This approach not only improves the immediate customer experience but also builds long-term brand affinity, as customers feel valued and understood. The effectiveness of personalization is evident in the calculated increase in engagement across different customer segments, highlighting its importance in modern marketing strategies.

In the context of media planning, a marketing team is evaluating the effectiveness of their recent advertising campaign. They report that the campaign reached 1,000,000 unique individuals and that, on average, each individual was exposed to the advertisement three times. Based on this information, how many total impressions did the campaign generate? Consider the implications of reach and frequency in media planning and how they contribute to the overall effectiveness of advertising strategies.
Correct
To determine the effectiveness of a media plan, we can use the formula for calculating the Reach and Frequency of an advertising campaign. Reach is the total number of different people or households exposed to the advertising message at least once during a specified period, while Frequency is the number of times the average person is exposed to the message. In this scenario, if a campaign reaches 1,000,000 people and the average frequency of exposure is 3, the total impressions can be calculated as follows: Total Impressions = Reach x Frequency Total Impressions = 1,000,000 x 3 Total Impressions = 3,000,000 This means that the media plan has generated a total of 3,000,000 impressions. Understanding the relationship between reach and frequency is crucial for media planning, as it helps marketers assess the potential impact of their campaigns and optimize their media spend. In summary, the effectiveness of a media plan can be evaluated through the calculation of reach and frequency, which ultimately leads to the total impressions generated. This understanding allows marketers to make informed decisions about their media strategies and adjust their plans to maximize audience engagement.

In a recent public relations campaign, a company invested £10,000 and generated a net profit of £50,000. To assess the effectiveness of this campaign, the marketing team calculated the Return on Investment (ROI). What was the ROI percentage for this PR campaign, and what does this figure imply about the campaign’s financial effectiveness? Consider how this metric can influence future marketing strategies and budget allocations.
Correct
To evaluate the effectiveness of a public relations (PR) campaign, we can use the formula for Return on Investment (ROI). The formula is: ROI = (Net Profit from PR Campaign / Cost of PR Campaign) x 100 In this scenario, let’s assume the net profit generated from the PR campaign is £50,000, and the total cost of the campaign was £10,000. Calculating the ROI: Net Profit = £50,000 Cost of PR Campaign = £10,000 ROI = (£50,000 / £10,000) x 100 ROI = 5 x 100 ROI = 500% Thus, the ROI for the PR campaign is 500%. This calculation indicates that for every pound spent on the PR campaign, the company earned five pounds in return. Understanding ROI is crucial for marketers and PR professionals as it provides a clear metric to assess the financial impact of their efforts. A high ROI suggests that the campaign was effective in generating profit relative to its cost, while a low ROI may indicate the need for strategic adjustments in future campaigns.

In the context of evaluating the success of an event marketing strategy, a company generated a total revenue of $50,000 from an event, while the total costs incurred for the event were $30,000. What is the return on investment (ROI) for this event? Consider how this metric can influence future event planning and marketing strategies, and discuss the implications of a high or low ROI in the context of resource allocation and strategic decision-making.
Correct
To determine the effectiveness of an event marketing strategy, we need to analyze the return on investment (ROI). The formula for ROI is: \[ ROI = \frac{(Net Profit)}{(Cost of Investment)} \times 100 \] In this scenario, let’s assume the total revenue generated from the event was $50,000, and the total costs associated with the event (including venue, catering, marketing, and staffing) amounted to $30,000. First, we calculate the net profit: \[ Net Profit = Total Revenue – Total Costs \] \[ Net Profit = 50,000 – 30,000 = 20,000 \] Now, we can calculate the ROI: \[ ROI = \frac{(20,000)}{(30,000)} \times 100 \] \[ ROI = 0.6667 \times 100 = 66.67\% \] Thus, the ROI for this event marketing strategy is 66.67%. This indicates that for every dollar spent, the event generated approximately $1.67 in revenue, which is a strong performance.

To evaluate the effectiveness of their email marketing strategy, the marketing team wants to calculate the open rate of this campaign. What is the open rate expressed as a percentage? Use the formula for open rate, which is given by: $$ \text{Open Rate} = \frac{\text{Number of Opens}}{\text{Number of Emails Sent}} \times 100 $$ Based on the data provided, what is the calculated open rate for this email marketing campaign?
Correct
To determine the optimal email open rate for a marketing campaign, we can use the formula for calculating the open rate, which is given by: $$ \text{Open Rate} = \frac{\text{Number of Opens}}{\text{Number of Emails Sent}} \times 100 $$ Suppose a marketing team sends out 1,200 emails and records 360 opens.

In the context of launching a new product, a marketing team conducts a risk assessment to identify potential risks that could impact the success of the launch. They evaluate three primary risks: market acceptance, competition, and supply chain disruptions. Each risk is rated on a scale of 1 to 5 for both likelihood and impact. If the ratings for market acceptance are 4 for likelihood and 5 for impact, for competition are 3 for likelihood and 4 for impact, and for supply chain disruptions are 2 for likelihood and 3 for impact, what is the total risk score calculated by the marketing team? This score will help them prioritize their risk management strategies effectively.
Correct
In risk management for marketing strategies, it is crucial to identify potential risks and evaluate their impact on the marketing plan. For instance, if a company is launching a new product, it might face risks such as market acceptance, competition, and supply chain disruptions. To quantify these risks, a risk assessment matrix can be used, where risks are rated based on their likelihood (on a scale of 1 to 5) and their impact (on a scale of 1 to 5). Let’s assume the following ratings for a hypothetical product launch: – Market acceptance: Likelihood = 4, Impact = 5 – Competition: Likelihood = 3, Impact = 4 – Supply chain disruptions: Likelihood = 2, Impact = 3 Calculating the risk score for each: – Market acceptance risk score = 4 (likelihood) * 5 (impact) = 20 – Competition risk score = 3 * 4 = 12 – Supply chain disruptions risk score = 2 * 3 = 6 The total risk score is the sum of all individual risk scores: Total risk score = 20 + 12 + 6 = 38 This score helps prioritize risks and develop mitigation strategies accordingly.

To determine the effectiveness of a copywriting strategy, we can analyze the engagement metrics of a recent advertising campaign. Let’s assume the campaign had a total reach of 100,000 people, and the engagement rate (likes, shares, comments) was 5%. This means that 5% of the total reach engaged with the content. To calculate the number of engaged users, we multiply the total reach by the engagement rate: Engaged Users = Total Reach × Engagement Rate Engaged Users = 100,000 × 0.05 Engaged Users = 5,000 Now, if we consider that the campaign’s goal was to achieve at least 4,000 engaged users, we can conclude that the copywriting strategy was successful, as it exceeded the goal by 1,000 users. This analysis highlights the importance of setting measurable objectives in copywriting and visual communication, as it allows marketers to evaluate the effectiveness of their strategies and make informed decisions for future campaigns.

Question 28 of 30
28. Question
In the context of crisis communication management, consider a scenario where a company faces a significant public relations crisis that results in a 30% decline in customer trust. After implementing a strategic communication plan, the company manages to regain 20% of that lost trust within a month. What is the net percentage of customer trust remaining after the crisis and the recovery efforts? This situation highlights the importance of effective communication strategies in mitigating the impact of crises. Analyze the situation and determine the remaining trust percentage, considering both the initial loss and the recovery achieved through communication efforts.
Correct
In crisis communication management, the effectiveness of a response can be evaluated through various metrics, including public perception, media coverage, and stakeholder engagement. For instance, if a company experiences a crisis that leads to a 30% drop in customer trust, a well-executed communication strategy can potentially recover 20% of that trust within a month. This means that the net recovery of trust would be calculated as follows: Initial trust drop = 30% Recovery through communication = 20% Net trust after recovery = Initial trust – Recovery = 30% – 20% = 10% Thus, the final answer regarding the net trust after a well-managed crisis communication response would be 10%. Effective crisis communication management is crucial for organizations to maintain their reputation and stakeholder trust. It involves timely and transparent communication, addressing the concerns of affected parties, and providing clear information about the steps being taken to resolve the issue. A successful strategy not only mitigates damage but can also enhance the organization’s credibility if handled correctly. The ability to recover from a crisis hinges on the organization’s preparedness, the clarity of its messaging, and its responsiveness to stakeholder feedback.

Question 30 of 30
30. Question
In a recent campaign planning session, a marketing team is evaluating different media buying strategies for a total budget of £50,000. They have identified three potential media channels: TV, Digital, and Print, with respective CPM rates of £30, £15, and £25. After calculating the total impressions each channel would deliver based on the allocated budget, the team needs to decide which channel would provide the best reach for their target audience. Given the CPM rates and the budget, which media channel should the team prioritize to maximize their impressions?
Correct
To determine the most effective media buying strategy for a campaign with a budget of £50,000, we need to analyze the cost per thousand impressions (CPM) for different media channels. Let’s assume the following CPM rates for three channels: TV at £30, Digital at £15, and Print at £25. 1. Calculate the total impressions for each channel: – TV: £50,000 / £30 CPM = 1,666.67 (approximately 1,667 thousand impressions) – Digital: £50,000 / £15 CPM = 3,333.33 (approximately 3,333 thousand impressions) – Print: £50,000 / £25 CPM = 2,000 (exactly 2,000 thousand impressions) 2. Now, we compare the total impressions: – TV: 1,667 thousand impressions – Digital: 3,333 thousand impressions – Print: 2,000 thousand impressions From this analysis, Digital media provides the highest number of impressions for the budget allocated. Therefore, the most effective media buying strategy in this scenario would be to allocate the budget primarily towards Digital media.
