Advertisement Design (ADD)
Activity available under: Marcoms Accelerator, Content Creation, Media Communications and Marketing Management services.
Scope: Single advert, three-pass process
Credit value: 2
Description
Even with the growing popularity of content marketing, advertisements remain effective marketing tools, be they in print or online.
Definition
‘Design’ means origination of the advert.
The Process
An advertisement is typically generated against a verbal or written brief from you.
You are responsible for the provision of source photography (e.g. of a product), your logo(s), house-style guide (incl. corporate colours) and information regarding trademarks and registered names.
Unless we are also managing the placement of advertisements on your behalf (i.e. under our Marketing Management service) you must also supply us the requirements placed on you by the publication or online platform. These requirements will include dimensions (pixels wide by high), bleed (for print) and format (CMYK or RGB).
The advertisement will be produced under strict version control. This is a three-pass process, that:
- We submit a design draft v1 and invite you to approve or provide detailed feedback.
- If changes are required, we make those, submit a revised design (draft v2) and invite you to approve the v2 or provide details of final changes.
- If final changes are required, we make those, submit a draft v3 and seek your approval.
Upon your approval – of draft v1, v2 or v3 – we will supply high-res final artwork.
If it is necessary to go beyond a draft v3, subsequent revisions are charged for at 1 credit per revision. The risk of additional charges (and costs) can be mitigated by the quality of your brief to us detail within communicated feedback. We strongly advise against advertisement design through ‘trial and error’
The Deliverable
This will be as per stipulated requirements.
