Creation of a constructive work is often driven by

two types   of forces.      One, which directs, assists

the artist by being physically         present. The other

force is the source of inspiration.

In this piece of research undertaken by me,

the impelling force has been my mother, late

Prof. (Mrs) Sheetaltai          Abasaheb Burghate .
An    academician        herself,        she          always

encouraged me to give         my    best.

As a token of respect and admiration, which

can never be adequately expressed, I dedicate

this research   project       to   her.

                        CHAPTER NO: I




                       ADVERTISING:
    CONCEPTS AND APPLICATIONS




             Advertising is a synonym for consumer choice
‘If you can’t tell people what you’ve done, they’re not likely to buy many of what
you’ve made. So, you won’t go on making them. You’ll close a factory or two and
a lot of people will lose their jobs. Without innovation driving it forward,
perhaps your business stagnates – perhaps you go out of business and a lot more
people lose their jobs. If you’re not making so much, you don’t have so much to
tell people. You don’t advertise so much, so the media – which are largely
subsidised by advertising – suffer.
So, what have we got? Better products at lower prices, affordable media and a
great number of jobs, all depending on the fact of advertising as a vital part of a
mixed economy. And something else. You could argue – and I do – that
advertising is a synonym for consumer choice. Only by knowing what’s available
out there can the consumer exercise his or her right to choose. And to the
consumer it has become a right; not simply an option’.

                        CHAPTER NO: II




          ROLE OF ADVERTISING IN
                              BUSINESS
‘It is becoming more and more evident that consumers are increasingly
interested in the ‘world that lies behind’ the product they buy. Apart from price
and quality, they want to know how and where and by whom the product has
been produced. This increasing awareness about environmental and social issues
is a sign of hope. Governments and industry must build on that.’
Klaus Töpfer, Executive Director UNEP, 23 August 1999, UNEP News Release
1999/2000




                      CHAPTER NO: III




           ADVERTISING BUSINESS:
                   GROWTH IN INDIA
‘It’s unrealistic to think advertising will start a revolution. Advertising isn’t
meant to set social policy. But advertising is very effective at listening and
reacting to public will. And the public seems to be catching on to the costs of our
extreme patterns of over consumption.’
Jelly Helm, Co-Chairman of Barden and Jelly Agency




                       CHAPTER NO: IV




             ADVERTISING AGENCY:
STRUCTURE, NATURE AND TYPE OF
          BUSINESS



If advertising agencies have to establish themselves as universities of learning on
communication, they should develop ‘knowledge laboratories’, the equivalent of
an R&D department, where research and discussion on, and practice of, all
aspects of communication take place.


Biju Joseph Dominic
Senior Brand Services Director, Lowe Lintas & Partners, Mumbai..



A critical issue is how big the size of an agency should be. Size will matter if new
capabilities are to be built, more value-added services are to be provided and
cost to the client is to be reduced. Also, the industry is getting concentrated, and
unless an agency figures in the top ten, it is unlikely to make reasonable money.


Dr.RanjanDas
Professor of Strategic & International Management, Indian Institute of Management
Calcutta, and Consulting Editor, Strategic Marketing.




                        CHAPTER NO: V




         RATIONALE OF THE STUDY



                             Social responsibility
‘Take a look at government advertising, and government has for many years
been one of the very biggest advertisers in the United Kingdom. Ah, yes, say the
critics – and have you noticed how fond critics are of saying Ah, yes...? Ah, yes,
but that isn’t advertising... What nonsense. Of course, social advertising, public
service advertising – whether it’s for drinking and driving, social benefits, AIDS
or public information of any kind – is advertising and often state of the art
advertising at that. It takes the proven techniques, techniques of simplification,
dramatisation and, most important, personalisation and applies them to the way
we live now. The communication skills honed on the humble packet of frozen
peas or brand of petrol have made invaluable contributions not merely to the
small reassurances of daily domestic life but to helping modify social attitudes
and behaviour.

Advertising today is many things. It’s come a long way from the gaudy poster
proclaiming the presence of Sunlight Soap. It’s part of the social fabric of all our
lives which, cosmetically, would be a good bit duller without it. More to the
point, it’s a thread on which are strung several of the key economic elements that
affect the workings of the business community and the comfort of the
individual.’

                       CHAPTER NO: VI


 A STATUS REPORT OF ADVERTISING
                              AGENCIES
‘If I were starting my life over again, I am inclined to think that it would go into
the advertising business in preference to almost any other...The general raising
of the standards of modern civilisation among all groups of people during the
past half century would have been impossible without the spreading of the
knowledge of higher standards by means of advertising.’

President Franklin Delano Roosevelt




                      CHAPTER NO: VII




        ADVERTISING AGENCY AND
                 CUSTOMER SERVICE
                       RELATIONSHIP
‘Advertising can itself contribute to the betterment of society by uplifting and
inspiring people...
Governments should not seek to control and dictate policy to the advertising
industry any more than to other sectors of the communications media’.

Archbishop John P Foley, President of the Pontifical Council for Social
Communications
The WFA World Congress in Geneva, October 1997




                     CHAPTER NO: VIII
             ADVERTISING AGENCY:
   PROBLEM ISSUES IN CLIENT’S –
                       RELATIONSHIP
‘The view of the ordinary consumer that animated much current criticism of
advertising is analogously defective. Take the claim that advertising engenders
wants in consumers that did not hitherto exist. At one level, this is a truism that
cannot be denied, since without advertising the consumer could not know, and so
could not have a preference among the span of products available to him. Again,
the fact that a want or a preference is acquired, is by itself no argument against
it. On the contrary, nearly all the wants and preferences of a civilised human
being are acquired via education and upbringing: no-one is born delighting in
Bach, or consumed by a passion for brass rubbing.
A human being without acquired wants, if such there could be, would lack most,
if not all, of the characteristics whereby we recognise him as such: for being
human is something we learn how to be, not something we are born with. And, in
opening up possibilities of choice and suggesting to the individual tastes and
activities he might not otherwise come across and learn to enjoy, advertising is
no different from any of the other institutions of education and civilisation. So, if
advertising does engender new wants and preferences, it is only thereby
contributing to a process of character-formation that goes on all the time, in
schools, families and peer groups.
In fact, however, all the evidence suggests that advertising, typically or in
general, assists people to find out what they want from a product, rather than
implants in them a want for it. All the evidence, for one thing, is that advertising
can affect the market share a company can command over a product, but not the
size of the market for the product itself. The idea that advertising has any
significant role in engendering alcohol abuse, say, seems especially remote from
reality, given the endemic alcoholism that is evident in countries (such as the
communist regimes) in which virtually all alcohol advertising is already
prohibited. In short, all the evidence tells against the conception of the consumer
as an infinitely malleable creature whose wants are fabrications of advertising,
and in favour of a view of him or her as an active seeker after products that best
satisfy preferences that have for the most part long been formed.’
John Gray, fellow of Jesus College, Oxford and a noted political philosopher was
quoted by the Social Affairs Unit, London




                       CHAPTER NO: IX




     FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS AND
      RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE
                                 STUDY




‘In general, heavy advertising is evidence of fierce competition, and this usually
arises when a few efficient companies are battling for supremacy. The result of
such competition is, inevitably, that the nondescript products fall out of favour
and disappear. In due course there remain a small number of heavily advertised
products competing one with another, each perhaps with a marginal appeal to a
particular segment of the population, but none with a clear advantage.
Advertising oils the wheels of commerce and is the dynamo of competition.’

Henry Lazell of the Beecham Group




                       CHAPTER NO: X




                            FUTURE: -
     EMERGING TRENDS IN
 ADVERTISING BUSINESS IN INDIA
‘Brand image is heavily influenced by social image - one of the most important
challenges business is facing. Brands will be important in setting social and
political issues as traditional government fails. Any good advertising agency
giving advice to a company has to include ecological issues because customers
are demanding more active stands on social and environmental issues.’
Pierre Huppert, advertising consultant, The Netherlands

  • 8. ZAW (Zentralverband der Deutschen Werbewirtschaft), the German Advertising Federation Creation of a constructive work is often driven by two types of forces. One, which directs, assists the artist by being physically present. The other force is the source of inspiration. In this piece of research undertaken by me, the impelling force has been my mother, late Prof. (Mrs) Sheetaltai Abasaheb Burghate . An academician herself, she always encouraged me to give my best. As a token of respect and admiration, which can never be adequately expressed, I dedicate this research project to her.
  • 9. Place:-Amaravti: Date:- Mukul Burghate CHAPTER NO: I ADVERTISING: CONCEPTS AND APPLICATIONS Advertising is a synonym for consumer choice ‘If you can’t tell people what you’ve done, they’re not likely to buy many of what you’ve made. So, you won’t go on making them. You’ll close a factory or two and a lot of people will lose their jobs. Without innovation driving it forward, perhaps your business stagnates – perhaps you go out of business and a lot more people lose their jobs. If you’re not making so much, you don’t have so much to tell people. You don’t advertise so much, so the media – which are largely subsidised by advertising – suffer.
  • 10. So, what have we got? Better products at lower prices, affordable media and a great number of jobs, all depending on the fact of advertising as a vital part of a mixed economy. And something else. You could argue – and I do – that advertising is a synonym for consumer choice. Only by knowing what’s available out there can the consumer exercise his or her right to choose. And to the consumer it has become a right; not simply an option’. IAA Perspectives N°39 – February 1996 Advertising – The link in the chain of supply and demand by Sir Michael Perry, CBE, Chairman Unilever CHAPTER NO: II ROLE OF ADVERTISING IN BUSINESS
  • 11. ‘It is becoming more and more evident that consumers are increasingly interested in the ‘world that lies behind’ the product they buy. Apart from price and quality, they want to know how and where and by whom the product has been produced. This increasing awareness about environmental and social issues is a sign of hope. Governments and industry must build on that.’ Klaus Töpfer, Executive Director UNEP, 23 August 1999, UNEP News Release 1999/2000 CHAPTER NO: III ADVERTISING BUSINESS: GROWTH IN INDIA
  • 12. ‘It’s unrealistic to think advertising will start a revolution. Advertising isn’t meant to set social policy. But advertising is very effective at listening and reacting to public will. And the public seems to be catching on to the costs of our extreme patterns of over consumption.’ Jelly Helm, Co-Chairman of Barden and Jelly Agency CHAPTER NO: IV ADVERTISING AGENCY: STRUCTURE, NATURE AND TYPE OF BUSINESS If advertising agencies have to establish themselves as universities of learning on communication, they should develop ‘knowledge laboratories’, the equivalent of an R&D department, where research and discussion on, and practice of, all aspects of communication take place. Biju Joseph Dominic Senior Brand Services Director, Lowe Lintas & Partners, Mumbai.. A critical issue is how big the size of an agency should be. Size will matter if new capabilities are to be built, more value-added services are to be provided and
  • 13. cost to the client is to be reduced. Also, the industry is getting concentrated, and unless an agency figures in the top ten, it is unlikely to make reasonable money. Dr.RanjanDas Professor of Strategic & International Management, Indian Institute of Management Calcutta, and Consulting Editor, Strategic Marketing. CHAPTER NO: V RATIONALE OF THE STUDY Social responsibility ‘Take a look at government advertising, and government has for many years been one of the very biggest advertisers in the United Kingdom. Ah, yes, say the critics – and have you noticed how fond critics are of saying Ah, yes...? Ah, yes, but that isn’t advertising... What nonsense. Of course, social advertising, public service advertising – whether it’s for drinking and driving, social benefits, AIDS or public information of any kind – is advertising and often state of the art advertising at that. It takes the proven techniques, techniques of simplification, dramatisation and, most important, personalisation and applies them to the way we live now. The communication skills honed on the humble packet of frozen peas or brand of petrol have made invaluable contributions not merely to the small reassurances of daily domestic life but to helping modify social attitudes and behaviour. Advertising today is many things. It’s come a long way from the gaudy poster proclaiming the presence of Sunlight Soap. It’s part of the social fabric of all our lives which, cosmetically, would be a good bit duller without it. More to the point, it’s a thread on which are strung several of the key economic elements that
  • 14. affect the workings of the business community and the comfort of the individual.’ IAA Perspectives N°39 – February 1996 Advertising – The link in the chain of supply and demand by Sir Michael Perry, CBE, Chairman Unilever CHAPTER NO: VI A STATUS REPORT OF ADVERTISING AGENCIES
  • 15. ‘If I were starting my life over again, I am inclined to think that it would go into the advertising business in preference to almost any other...The general raising of the standards of modern civilisation among all groups of people during the past half century would have been impossible without the spreading of the knowledge of higher standards by means of advertising.’ President Franklin Delano Roosevelt CHAPTER NO: VII ADVERTISING AGENCY AND CUSTOMER SERVICE RELATIONSHIP
  • 16. ‘Advertising can itself contribute to the betterment of society by uplifting and inspiring people... Governments should not seek to control and dictate policy to the advertising industry any more than to other sectors of the communications media’. Archbishop John P Foley, President of the Pontifical Council for Social Communications The WFA World Congress in Geneva, October 1997 CHAPTER NO: VIII ADVERTISING AGENCY: PROBLEM ISSUES IN CLIENT’S – RELATIONSHIP ‘The view of the ordinary consumer that animated much current criticism of advertising is analogously defective. Take the claim that advertising engenders wants in consumers that did not hitherto exist. At one level, this is a truism that cannot be denied, since without advertising the consumer could not know, and so could not have a preference among the span of products available to him. Again, the fact that a want or a preference is acquired, is by itself no argument against it. On the contrary, nearly all the wants and preferences of a civilised human being are acquired via education and upbringing: no-one is born delighting in Bach, or consumed by a passion for brass rubbing. A human being without acquired wants, if such there could be, would lack most, if not all, of the characteristics whereby we recognise him as such: for being human is something we learn how to be, not something we are born with. And, in opening up possibilities of choice and suggesting to the individual tastes and activities he might not otherwise come across and learn to enjoy, advertising is no different from any of the other institutions of education and civilisation. So, if advertising does engender new wants and preferences, it is only thereby contributing to a process of character-formation that goes on all the time, in schools, families and peer groups. In fact, however, all the evidence suggests that advertising, typically or in general, assists people to find out what they want from a product, rather than implants in them a want for it. All the evidence, for one thing, is that advertising can affect the market share a company can command over a product, but not the size of the market for the product itself. The idea that advertising has any significant role in engendering alcohol abuse, say, seems especially remote from
  • 17. reality, given the endemic alcoholism that is evident in countries (such as the communist regimes) in which virtually all alcohol advertising is already prohibited. In short, all the evidence tells against the conception of the consumer as an infinitely malleable creature whose wants are fabrications of advertising, and in favour of a view of him or her as an active seeker after products that best satisfy preferences that have for the most part long been formed.’ John Gray, fellow of Jesus College, Oxford and a noted political philosopher was quoted by the Social Affairs Unit, London CHAPTER NO: IX FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE STUDY ‘In general, heavy advertising is evidence of fierce competition, and this usually arises when a few efficient companies are battling for supremacy. The result of
  • 18. such competition is, inevitably, that the nondescript products fall out of favour and disappear. In due course there remain a small number of heavily advertised products competing one with another, each perhaps with a marginal appeal to a particular segment of the population, but none with a clear advantage. Advertising oils the wheels of commerce and is the dynamo of competition.’ Henry Lazell of the Beecham Group CHAPTER NO: X FUTURE: - EMERGING TRENDS IN ADVERTISING BUSINESS IN INDIA
  • 19. ‘Brand image is heavily influenced by social image - one of the most important challenges business is facing. Brands will be important in setting social and political issues as traditional government fails. Any good advertising agency giving advice to a company has to include ecological issues because customers are demanding more active stands on social and environmental issues.’ Pierre Huppert, advertising consultant, The Netherlands BIBLIOGRAPHY
