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.

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?
ALexa is highly convenient and helpful as it keeps sitting at one place and listen
to its consumers with the use of microphone.
The product is highly differentiation as its only competitor is Goole Home, which
only uses 5 microphones and is not as effective as Alexa.
Amazon has established its market dominance by its earlier developed product,
Fire Stick. Alexa has ensured penetration in Developed markets such as USA and
Europe. The next are the emerging markets such as Asia and Australia.
What level of involvement would your customer have? Explain why you chose
this level of involvement.
Alexa will have high level of involvement with the customers. Due to its unique
utility in assisting an individual in their day to day tasks such as playing music,
booking appointment, planning their day and also talking to other smart
appliance which is connected via wireless technology.
What impact do you feel that the level of involvement will have on reach and
frequency of advertisement?
The product will have a very strong impact and Alexa as a product will be be
talked about in social and family gatherings. This will definitely impact the reach
of the product to millions of customers and the frequency of advertisement has to
be increased to make it a popular name in casual discussion.

Activity 1E
Estimated Time 15 Minutes
Objective To provide you with an opportunity to confirm media budget and identify legal
and voluntary constraints.
Activity When you are allocated a budget, what should you consider?
 Stage of the life cycle the product is in presently.
 Existing market share of the brand.
 Number of competitors in the market.
 Frequency of the advertisement.
You have allocated a commercial into a children’s television time slot for adult
makeup. Using your knowledge of legal and voluntary constraints, do you
believe that this is considered ethical?
Australian community and media authority keeps a strong regulation for the
content to be shown on children’s programme and it has to be in resonance with the
content for the children. In view of ACMA it is considered as unethical as children
don’t have to do anything with adult makeup

Activity 2A
Estimated Time 15 Minutes
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.
 Television- it has a higher impact than any other medium on the
consumers and it appeal more to the consumers.
 Radio- It helps in bringing the product and services in front of the
consumers and helps in building brand awareness.
 Internet Advertising- Internet advertising is used to cater to the mass
audience as well as highly targeted audience.
 Billboard/Hoarding- It helps in building top of the mind brand recall for
the consumers and also helps in building a brand awareness by sticking
in the minds of the consumers.
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.
Absolutely, it is extremely important to see the changing trends in how different
media vehicles have been behaving, as it calls for change in the strategy of using
the media channels.
For example, if TV is becoming less popular ad people are opting out of it then TV
has to be removed from the strategy.
If SOCIAL media advertising is in vogue, and giving a good return on Investment
that more efforts and spend has to be on social media.

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?
 Testing the media vehicle helps in understanding the return expected
out of the media vehicle and thus appropriate media vehicle can be
used.
 It also helps in determining the overall strength of the advertising
campaign.
What should you remember when you pre-test advertising?
Pre-test advertising is usually done during the development process and helps in
beta testing of the campaign. The best part is that it helps in identifying the
strength and weakness of the campaign and accordingly minimizes the
weakness of the campaign by evaluating the results.
Choose two types of pre-tests. Briefly explain what they do. Using your
explanation, discuss which is one you feel is more reliable. Why?
Trailer Test- It is one of the effective pre advertising test technique. In this
coupons are given to group of customers. One group is shown the
advertisement and the other group is not. If the group, to whom the
advertisement is shown, buys more products then the advertisement is highly
effective.
Telecast Test-In this testing technique, test ad is shown to the viewers in actual
program, and their feedback is taken. Based on the feedback received the ad is
modified and actual test is shown to the consumers.

Activity 2C
Estimated Time 20 Minutes
Objective To provide you with an opportunity to select media vehicles that target the
required audience, meet media requirements and fulfil merchandising
requirements within budget.
Activity Choose one media vehicle to reach the specific target markets listed below.
Why did you choose these media vehicles?
Target Market Media Why?
Teen make-up Social Media The target audience is
mostly on social
media channels.
Colgate Toothpaste TV The decision maker
for buying of
toothpaste is the
females, thus
television is the right
medium for them
Fructus Shampoo Social media & TV The product is
targeted not only to
the millennial but also
to the family
audience.
Computer Internet advertising People buying
computer devices use
internet to search the
best computer device
available in the
market. Thus it makes
sense to market the
product on internet.
Choose one of the target markets above. You find that customer attrition for the
product has occurred. What should you do?
For example if teen make up is not selling and the target market is the teen
agers. It means that there is definitely something wrong with the product
positioning and the media vehicle.
Thus, in order to improve the situation, the timing of the advertising campaign
has to be changes and the ad has to be modified to give more targeted
information to the target audience.

P a g e | 37
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?
This clearly shows that CPM or the number of impression of the ad shown to the
consumers is less. Thus the only option available is to deliver more impression
and increase the reach of the campaign.
Activity 2D
Estimated Time 25 Minutes
Objective To provide you with an opportunity to select media vehicles that meet creative,
reach and frequency requirements of the advertising message to be achieved
within budget
Activity What is the GRP? What does it do?
GRP is also called as the Gross Rating Points. It is used to measure the size of the
audience reached by a specific media vehicle.It is basically a formulae for
establishing a relationship between the reach, frequency and the rating point.
The formulae goes as:
R*F=GRP
Using the Ostrow Model of Effective Frequency, explain the level of frequency
for the new $500.00 suit you buy every six months.
A new suit every six month means it is a high frequency buying product, thus
the frequency is +2 in this case in accordance to the Ostrow model.
Do you believe that you can reach customers at 100%?

P a g e | 38
It is possible but it can’t be said with utmost surety. Gaps in advertising reduces
the effectiveness of the reach of the campaign
In reaching customers to create awareness, it is important that you make sure
that one of three points exists. What are the three points?
 Run advertisement over a longer period of time on a continuous basis.
 Level of frequency of the advertisement
 Media channel has to be consistent.
Creative ads have three elements. Briefly explain each element and give an
example of products you are personally have had experience with.
 Connectedness-It ensures that advertisement must reflect the level of
empathy which makes customers to buy the product. For example, I
built a strong connect with Nokia’s smartphone, the ad demonstrated
that Bothie camera solved my camera issues
 Appropriateness-Appropriateness evaluates the level of creativity used
in the advertisement and positioning for the brand. It has to be ensured
that single type of message is sent to the audience. I believe that Coca –
Cola is one company which ensures appropriateness in its advertising
campaign
 Novelty-These are the ads which surprise the consumers by the
uniqueness and freshness of the advertisement. I am always awestruck
by ads of Sprite, it always has high elements of uniqueness and
freshness.

P a g e | 39
Activity 2E
Estimated Time 15 Minutes
Objective To provide you with an opportunity to ensure selected media vehicles meet
legal and ethical requirements
Activity If you are running a telemarketing campaign to create awareness for your
product, what do you need to be aware of?
One has to be aware of the code of practices of the Australia which can impact
the media vehicle.
 Advertising federation of Australia-Provide list of advertising codes and
practices.
 Australian communication and Media authority
 Australian competition and consumer commission.
 Free TV Australia-It represents all of Australia’s free to air TV licenses
and gathers consumer’s feedback.
Do you think that Anti-discrimination law is an issue in advertising? Research
how?
Anti-Discrimination law is an issue in advertising as it impacts the consumers
across the globe. For example if Black People are shown in a bad or poor light, it is
ethically wrong, also there are strong chances that the campaign will suffer major
flak due to the discrimination.
What is ethics in advertising?
ACMA is the regulatory code which ensures that advertisement is legal, honest,
decent and truthful. Some of the areas which code of ethics include are:
 Advertising to children.
 Community standards determined by the advertising standards all the
time.
 Ensure that the advertisement is not misleading and deceptive in any
manner.
Other codes include:
 Alcohol beverage code

Objective To provide you with an opportunity to specify recommended media and
vehicle/s, and rationale for their selection in the media plan
Activity Use the media vehicles chosen in Activity 4A and explain why you chose each.
Television- Television is still one of the hugely popular media for advertisers. It
not only helps in reaching a good audience, it is extremely great platform for

P a g e | 51
generating emotions in people which result in product purchase. Overall a great
platform to build connection with the target audience.
Radio- A large number of population commute via metro or cab, these people
mostly listens to radio. Thus radio helps in targeting people on the go. It also
helps in ensuring connectedness from the TV advertisement.
Digital Media-Online audience go through a variety of web pages to consume

leverage the platform to target the consumer on their online behaviour and
make them interested in the product offering
Social Media- Millennial is the target audience for the company’s product. Social
media platforms ensure 2 way communications which can help in understanding
the customer feedback on the product and their taste and preferences. Thus,
due to their great engagement and conversation platform it is highly
recommended.
Print-Print is used to measure the reach and show the strength of the company.

You have been asked to recommend media vehicles for a new promotion. Find
the following .
New Media vehicles can be:

P a g e | 53
Activity 4C
Estimated Time 15 Minutes
Objective To provide you with an opportunity to ensure media plan contains a budget
allocation per medium per advertising period
Activity Read through the different types of ways in which a budget should be allocated.
Choose which you believe is appropriate to you and explain why you would
choose that option.
Budget allocation is essential for the ongoing success of the organization;
it is usually set up for duration of month, quarter, 6 months and an year. It
is the onus of the marketers to use the budget in such a way to ensure a
good Return on Investment.
One of the best budget allocation methods is Pay per click.
Pay per click in the simplest of terms can be understood as what the
advertisers are ready to pay if someone clicks on the link. It is also called
as paid search and search engine marketing. It is an auction platform and
advertisers have to place their bids to place their ads on the result page of
the search engine. It is normally observed that higher is the bid of the
advertiser, the better they are positioned in the search results.
Thus, in case of Mac Air 2, the aim is to increase the awareness of the
product, hence whenever they are looking for a laptop, or searching for a
good laptop, Mac Air will appear on top, thus helping the company to
create a top of the mind recall and push them to buy the product by
clicking on the link.

media vehicles that you chose.
CPM-Also called as Cost per million. This metric is useful for Mac Air 2, the purpose
is to show impression to the consumers, and CPM is effective as one has to pay
only for the number of times the ad is shown to the consumers.
Cost Per acquisition-This is used in the case when the marketing is pushing and the
media owners are willing to shell improve their offering. It is calculated by finding
the cost to get the lead and finally the cost in conversion of lead to induce a
purchase of the product. It is extremely effective for high tech product Mac Air 2
Cost per Click- Also abbreviated as CPC, It is the highest amount the advertiser is
willing to pay for a click. Advertisers usually go for this metric when they are
looking for high conversion rates.
Cost per call- Advertisers are these days using this metric to verify the genuinely of
lead and save their money. In this, the advertiser for each call he receives at the
call centre by clicking on the company’s link.
