Advertising training – Session 9 – exercise 5
A promotion is a tactical marketing tool, which is intended to generate extra sales by means
of a temporary improvement in the price/value perception of a brand or product. (The extra
sales objective is what makes promotion different from normal communication)Promotions can come in
many ways. One of them is a so called ‘joint promotion’ where two different brands join
forces in order to create more sales. Of course there has to be a fit between them that makes
sense. (E.g. Philips Wake up light / Blue Band Good Start)Another aspect of promotions can
be timing. The possibility to hook on to some topical item like Valentine’s Day or Christmas
or… (E.g. Merci Chocolates / Mothers Day)
Your tasks:
1. Create a list of possible joint promotion partners / products plus a central promotional
idea

Advertising Training – Session 11 – Exercise 6
Typography is a very important part of communication design. It can make or break your
communication. Choosing a typeface for a billboard is quite different from choosing a
typeface for an instruction leaflet.
The choice of typeface will create a first impression that can be hard to alter. It has to
reflect the message and the tone of voice. And also it has to fit the brand, product or service.
Exercise:
- Go to www.linotype.com
(Find typeface category at left side – make your choice – click more details – then create sample –
copy/paste in Word)
- Create 3 alternative typographic proposals considering different media (e.g. billboard, print
ad, POS, web etc), for each of the following headlines/pay offs:
- Dát is nou het Zwitserleven gevoel.
- Rotterdam durft.
- Je bent een rund als je met vuurwerk stunt.
- Mona. De zuivelste verwenners.
- Bloemen houden van mensen.
- Lipton. Tea can do that.
- ABN AMRO. Maakt meer mogelijk.
- INHolland brengt je op ideeën.
