Any observations and practical assessments must be recorded in the observation checklist. All
practical tasks should be demonstrated during the length of the course. As the instructor, you must
maintain a record demonstrating the date of the practical activities and any comments relevant to the
performance of each student. Where a student is not able to demonstrate competence in a practical
observation activity, further questioning should be put in its place.
As the instructor, you could be assessing the student’s literacy, numeracy and language skills, as well
as the content and context of his/her answers.
In some cases, you will have to adjust and amend the assessment tools, using different and varied
methods (such as oral assessment), to allow students to be assessed according to their needs and
abilities.

Assessment Tool Definitions
Assessment Tool How is it used? What is it?
Learner Workbook Activities
(Entire completion is required)
Each student should be given a Learner Workbook which
will hold a number of activities, both formative and
summative, that all need to be completed in conjunction
with the appropriate sessions. The PowerPoint, Learner
Guide and instructor should provide further information to
help with the activities.
Observation/Demonstration
(To be completed for each numbered point as
stated on the checklist)
An observation should be completed for each of the
students by the instructor. If the tasks aren’t everyday
actions, a simulated environment is acceptable or a
demonstration can be set up. An observation checklist can
be found at the end of this document.
Major Activity
(Entire completion is required)
A Major Activity is a summative assessment and can be
found in the Learner Workbook, after all of the activities are
completed. This is an extended piece of summative
assessment which should take anywhere between 1-2 hours
and every student should complete this work. It is a
requirement for each unit to check knowledge and
understanding.
Skills and Knowledge Activity
(Entire completion is required)
A Skills and Knowledge Activity is a summative
assessment and is found before the Major Activity in the
Learner Workbook. This should take between 1-2 hours and
every student should complete this work. It is a requirement
for each unit to check knowledge and understanding of the
foundation skills and knowledge evidence.
Third Party
(To be completed for each numbered point as
stated on the checklist)
A Third Party checklist is very similar to an Observation
Checklist in its format, but it can be completed by someone
who works with the learner and has witnessed them
completing tasks which coincide with the elements of the
unit. The checklist can be found at the end of this document.
Case Study
(Entire completion is required)
Not all units will have Case Studies but those that do will be
clearly stated within the PowerPoint and the Learner
Workbook. It will appear as any other activity but it will be
named ‘Case Study’ and will provide an example of a
possible real life situation for the learner to read, interpret
and then answer questions on.
Learner Guide
(To be used as an informational guide)
The Learner Guide links with the Learner Workbook as it
provides the information given during sessions and more. It
can help students to further their knowledge and to also
complete the activities.
Evidence Document
(Not a necessity for completion of unit but can be
used as an aid or to collect further evidence)
The Evidence Document lists all of the Elements and
Performance Criteria with an area for written reports etc, to
add evidence to the student’s portfolio. It can be used for
any of the performance criteria, especially those which may
not have been covered by any other assessment tool. The
student can circle a number of the criteria that they may feel
they need further evidence of or it can be used as a guide for
completing further Observations and Third Party reports.

P a g e | 6
Observation/Demonstration
Throughout this unit, the learner will be expected to show their competency of the elements through
observations or demonstrations. The observations and demonstrations will be completed as well as the
formative and summative assessments found in the Learner Workbook. An explanation of
demonstrations and observations:
Demonstration is off-the-job
A demonstration will require:
 Performing a skill or task that is asked of you
 Undertaking a simulation exercise
Observation is on-the-job
The observation will usually require:
 Performing a work based skill or task
 Interaction with colleagues and/or customers
The observation/demonstration will take place either in the workplace or the training environment,
depending on the task to be undertaken and whether it is an observation or demonstration. Each task
must be observed. You will need to ensure you provide the learner with the correct equipment and/or
materials to complete the task. You will also need to inform the learner of the time they have to
complete the task; this will once again vary, depending on the task.

Activities

P a g e | 24
Activity 1A
Estimated
Time
30 Minutes
Objective To provide you with an opportunity to identify target
audience characteristics from advertising brief and prepare a
detailed consumer profile which uses the same terms as those
used to describe media audiences.
Activity Your manager has asked that you recommend a target audience and
develop a customer profile of the target audience.Based on the product
and use the profile to make recommendations on how to attract the
attention of your media audience.Choose a product that is different to
the product in the Learning Activity.
The product that you are going to sell is:
The product that is going to be sold in the market is Nutrisoda. It contains
high amounts of vitamins and minerals that provide high nutritional value.
The drink is available in various flavours including Mandarin, Tangerine,
orange, lime, etc. combined with soda that provides a great taste and health
benefits too (Cheek, Ferguson and Tanner 2013).
What is the target market?What are the target audience’s
characteristics?
The product mainly contains zero sugar, zero aspartame and zero to ten
calories, which make it a suitable choice for the sports persons and athletes.
The health conscious customers who want good beverage item with nutrient
enhanced soda to stay energetic and at the same time gain some health
benefits also prefer it. Nutrisoda, being a sugar free and carbonated soft
drink has attracted demographic groups like young adults, teenagers and
matured men as well (Strasburger et al. 2013).
Profile the customer
Due to its low-level sugar components and calories, the people suffering
from diabetes and obesity can also consume the drink, which can burn down
fat and even allow them to obtain the nutritional benefits. The sports
persons and athletes need energy to carry out their work activities and so
Nutrisoda has been preferred by many of them because of the presence of
contents including herbal extracts, vitamins, nutrients and fruit juices
(Stelzner 2014).
What statistical information can you find about the market and where
did you find the information?

P a g e | 25
The energy drink has created a good position in the beverage market and
thus the individuals mostly aged between 18 and 34 consume the drinks at
morning, afternoon and night. As it is an energy drink, the volume for
growth is 32 percent, 46 CAGR. The company is expected to gain a market
share of more than 40 percent, because of its high nutritional value along
with zero sugar, zero calories and fruit juices that improve the health and
energy of individuals (Armstrong et al. 2015).
What key information should your message have?Where would you
obtain this information from?
The information should be obtained from the back of the bottles and cans
where the ingredients and content were demonstrated. The message must
include key information about the nutrient content and a unique tagline
should be provided as well like “Get freshen up and energized with the new
Nutrisoda”.
Based on the information provided above, complete the table below and
describe the way in which you would attract the customer to your
product.
Steps Example
1. Place message in appropriate
medium
Get freshen and energized with
the new Nutrisoda
2. Represent the media audience
within media
Media channels could be
televisions, newspapers and
internet websites too
3. Include objects and activities
enjoyed by each profile
There are few objects and
activities that do not fall in the
comfort zone of the customers.
It is important to manage these
objects properly and ensure
that the product is advertised
considering the local culture
and needs of people so that
they can enjoy it (Boykoff
2013).
4. Include topics and subjects Energy for sportsmen and

P a g e | 26
that will appeal to each profile athletes along with high
nutritional value are the things
that may attract the different
profiles of customers
5. Use themes or background
music appropriate for the
genre of each profile
Rock music and soothing
melody could be appropriate
for promoting the products in
different profiles (Tuten and
Solomon 2017).
6. Think of the comfort of each
audience which they can relate
to
The comfort level for the
product is good, because the
energy drink represents
freshness and energy, which
makes people motivated
towards healthy consumption
habits and lifestyle choices too.
7. Make sure that you address
the correct attitudes
appropriate for each profile
The advertisements should
include proper information
about the product and must not
contain any discriminatory
messages that might harm the
consumers’ mindsets.
8. Make sure that you appeal to
the desires of each profile.
The desires and preferences of
customers in different
segments are appealed by
presenting the product related
benefits and showing how it
can make them lead a healthy
life in the future (Chaffey
2016).

Activity 1B
Estimated
Time
15 Minutes
Objective To provide you with an opportunity to analyse product market factors to
determine reach and frequency requirements of advertising media
selected
Activity To determine reach and frequency, it is important that you determine
the product market factors. Using the product that was used to answer
the questions in Assessment Activity 1A,choose the product factors and
discuss the reason for the decision by answering the following
questions:
Is your product convenient, differentiated, undifferentiated, established
etc?
Yes, the product is convenient and has been differentiated in the market so
that the customers can find it easy to purchase it rather than purchasing
some other similar kind of beverage item. The products are established
properly to ensure that the customers can easily access it. As it is a new
product, so it will take some time to be established and this can help in
entering new market segments and generate more revenue in business
(Wimmer and Dominick 2013).
What level of involvement would your customer have? Explain why you
chose this level of involvement.
The higher the involvement, the higher will be the purchasing decisions
made by the customers. The level of involvement will be higher when the
product will be properly advertised and promoted to increase awareness
among the customers (Ryan 2015).
What impact do you feel that the level of involvement will have on
reach and frequency of advertisement?
The advertisements on televisions, newspapers and radios about the new

P a g e | 29
product can increase the level of reach to the customers and influence their
buying behaviours. The frequency of advertisements needs to be higher to
ensure that the product related messages reach the customers and their
buying behaviours are influenced (Howard and Mathews 2013).
Activity 1C
Estimated
Time
15 Minutes
Objective To provide you with an opportunity to analyse creative requirements of
advertising message and determine media implications.
Activity What is the aim of a creative brief?
The creative messages and briefs are posted for ensuring that the
information strikes the minds of clients and influence their buying
behaviours. The creative brief can consist of words, pictures, illustrations or
even a video representing the production costs and product benefits can
arouse interest among the customers and influence their buying behaviours.
What are the requirements of the creative brief?
Description of the brand or company, main messages to be delivered
regarding the benefits of the product, objectives that are to be achieved and
maintaining a colourful and unique presentation of the advertisement brief
(Riff, Lacy and Fico 2014).

P a g e | 30
Choose three creative requirements and explain them in your own
words. Give an example of a time when you would use each?
Description of the company or brand- It can be used when the new product
will be launched in the market so that the product visibility is enhanced.
Messages to be delivered- The messages and information must be delivered
while showing the advertisement to make customers hooked on and
influenced.

P a g e | 31
Activity 1D
Estimated
Time
15 Minutes
Objective To provide you with an opportunity to identify media merchandising
requirements from the advertising brief.
Activity What is the connection between the advertising brief and the media
merchandising requirements?
While the media merchandising enables developing the brand and for
attracting the customers, the advertising brief can make people aware of the
products and its features, furthermore spread brand awareness and influence
their buying behaviours (Scott 2015). The advertising enables distribution
of messages and information by using a mass medium while the media
merchandising enables optimising the experiences of customers through
management if product displays, product interaction and supplying.
You are going to develop media requirements for a computer (Use a
computer that you are familiar with).Choose three media from
Appendix No.2 that you believe are appropriate.
The media requirements include social media platforms like facebook,
twitter or instagram. The standard online advertising formats include banner
ads or in the form of video or audio. Search engine marketing is another
media requirement while the email usage can also be useful for managing
the advertisements (Berger 2018).
Complete a media evaluation of the three types of media vehicles and
choose one media as your primary media? Make sure you clearly
explain why you chose that media.

P a g e | 32
The different types of media vehicles are television, radios, magazines and
internet. The most suitable media vehicle used as primary media is the
television. The television is considered as an effective media vehicle

Activity 1E
Estimated
Time
15 Minutes
Objective To provide you with an opportunity to confirm media budget and

constraints, do you believe that this is considered ethical?
It is not considered ethical as the adult makeup commercial on the children’s
television can create negative mindset among them. It can also violate the

Activity 2A
Estimated
Time

Objective To provide you with an opportunity to weigh up relative merits of
identified media vehicle alternatives, taking past media performance
into account.
Activity Using Appendix Number Two reflect on the different merits of the
media alternatives.Choose four that you are unfamiliar with.Discuss
and compare them in terms of merits.
Few of the media vehicle alternatives could be the transit, direct mail, SMS
and blogs. Direct mails are sent where the clients can get the link for the
new product launched by the company and obtain relevant information
about it. The SMSs are sent in bulk and many people to increase the
awareness among the clients whereas the blogs can present information in
the form of news about the new product provided (Endres 2013).
You should also consider what impact past media performance would
play if you were to use these media vehicles.Would the change in trends
have an impact on the viability of the media vehicle in the present?
Discuss.
The past media performances were not much effective like nowadays. With
the advancement in technology and communication, the companies have
adopted new media vehicles for ensuring that the clients get the right
information and messages. The change in trends nowadays could also assist
in enhancing the viability of the media vehicle, furthermore bring
organisational change and enhance the media performance largely

Activity 2B
Estimated
Time
20 Minutes
Objective To provide you with an opportunity to evaluate and test new or
alternative media vehicles with other advertisers and against proven
vehicles
Activity What is the importance of testing your media vehicle?
There are different kinds of media vehicles and thus selecting the most
suitable media vehicle such as the televisions is essential, The testing of the
media vehicle will determine whether the advertisements deliver the right
messages and information about the product to its customers or not
(Danaher and Dagger 2013).
What should you remember when you pre-test advertising?
The pre-teasing should be done by comparing it with the concept media
class and then checking its benefits and drawbacks that might be obtained. It
must be checked during the pre-test advertising whether the reinforcement
of messages that were delivered through broader mass media or not. The
pre-testing advertising could also help in facilitating the messages’ delivery
and ensure that the right messages were delivered to the individuals
considering their needs and preferences. Pre-testing allows for brand
linkage, motivation and communication by breaking down the messages and
information in the advertisement (Jenkins, Ford and Green 2018). It can
improve the performance of ad through the identification of weak areas and
then edit the 60s to 30s for determining the area from where the image
could be used in an integrated campaign’s print ad.
Choose two types of pre-tests.Briefly explain what they do.Using your
explanation, discuss which is one you feel is more reliable. Why?
Sales experiment and Direct mail tests are the two pre-testing procedures.
The direct mail tests are more suitable because the responses of individuals
are selected randomly and then tests are conducted to check the positive and
negative responses. If the positives are higher, then the commercial
advertisement is managed both locally and globally in televisions,
newspapers, internet, etc (Kelly 2014).

the various market
segments
Colgate Toothpaste Televisions and
newspapers
The toothpaste,

Computer Internet websites,
blogs, etc.
The computer
systems are available
both offline and

customers often can
go through the
commercial ads
appearing on
different websites.

P a g e | 40
By clicking on the
ads they would be
directed to the
website from where
the products could
be purchased
(Moriarty et al.
2014).
Choose one of the target markets above. You find that customer
attrition for the product has occurred. What should you do?
One of the target markets is the teen makeup where the customer attrition
has occurred. One of the major causes could be the ignorance of their needs
and requirements. It is important to deliver what has been promised by
showing the right messages and information to the clients.
The conversion rate for the current customer is 50,000.The leads that
lead to a sale are only 40%.The level must be 50% as 40% is breaking
even.
What options do you think are available to you?
The successful marketing and design strategies can create uniqueness of
advertisements and bring innovation to grab the attention of customers. By
influencing their mindsets, the total number of people watching the
advertisement will increase along with more revenue generation

frequency for the new $500.00 suit you buy every six months.
The level of frequency is normal and it shows that the advertisements are
quite popular among the customers and it has reached multiple market
segments quite easily.
