The Phases of the Advertising Concept

An advertising concept can be divided into several phases:

  • Situation Analysis
    Where do we stand?
  • Advertising Goals
    What do we want to achieve?
  • Copy Platform / Product
    What do we want to communicate, and how?
  • Media Platform
    Where, how often, how intensively, and for how long will we advertise?
  • Budget
    How much can the advertising cost?
  • Monitoring
    Have we achieved our goals?

The individual phases build on one another. Insights from one phase influence decisions in the subsequent phases.

Why Is an Advertising Concept Necessary?

A well-thought-out advertising concept ensures that advertising measures are not simply implemented individually and without context. Instead, the target audience, objectives, message, media, costs, and performance tracking are coordinated.

This creates a clear foundation for implementing the advertising campaign.
