In short with everything what can cause interactions with people. Founders tries to create newer designs, methods and techniques in order to improve experiences in this area but let’s take a look deeper about creative media industry.

Mostly, the copy department is the largest department of an advertising agency. It comprises of a hard-working team of qualified professionals and experienced staff.

Art Department

The art department consists of all the artists in an advertising agency. The advertisement finally becomes agreeable and acceptable because of these people in the art department. These people use the principles of real art, probably on software, as a guideline or base to present a product to the targeted audience. The personals working in the art department are known as the Art Directors.

The functions of the art department are:

Transform the idea that the client wants to convey, into a simple and beautiful imagery.
Preparing layouts and visuals for the clients.
To work closely with the copywriters for developing the visual messages.

Once, after the copy and art is finalized, the advertisement is sent to the production department for further process. Both the departments, copy and art, create the basic model of the advertisement. The production department takes the advertisement into its final stage. A production manager heads the production department.

Functions of the production department are:

Produces the final advertisements for the markets.
Making contacts in the industry for the easy carrying out of tasks.

Research Department

Without knowing the 5 W’s and 1 H of the market, you can never run a successful advertisement campaign. The research department in advertising collects information about the market, market competition, market trends, products and services, competitors, consumer behavior, media trends, new trends in advertising, so on.

The success of the advertising agency’s advertisement campaign depends upon how hard the research team has done its work. A right direction and the right approach are very important for a successful ad campaign.

Functions of the research department include:

Carrying out research and deriving out useful information.
Critically analyze the information, which they have derived.

Issue payments to vendor parties within or on the due date.
Keep a track of the monthly and yearly accounts.
Deposit the government fees on time.
Manage salary accounts of the employees.

Public Relations (PR) Department

The chief responsibility of a public relations (PR) department is to maintain a cordial relationship among three parties, namely, advertising agency, clients, and media. Every organization may not have a separate department for PR hence, it becomes important for the other members of the organization to build cordial relations with clients and customers.

The functions of the PR department are:

Redressing the grievances of the consumers.
Taking feedback from clients and customers and working on it immediately.
Serve as a road between the advertising agency and the other parties.

Office Management

The office management department can also be called the HR department of the advertising agency.

Their functions include:

Recruiting the office staff.
Carrying out training and development of the newly hired staff.
Carry out promotions of the deserving candidates.
Provide welfare facilities to staff.
Filing and record keeping of all the essential documents.

Of course is not necessary that one agency has every mentioned department, because everything depends on scale of agency. Even the small- sized or mid- sized agencies have people for the functions of all the departments. They can hire multi- taskers for that matter. The departments can be merged, but these are the basic functions that the organizational structure of any advertising agency follows.

1.2 Explore successful organisations and enterprises within the chosen creative media industry

Nowadays everything is changing quickly so advertising agencies also has to change their behaviours if they want to be up to date with current trends.

Alexei Orlov, Global CEO of Rapp said:

“The actual model is changing. As recently as roughly eight years ago, advertising ruled everything; it was the golden era of cinema and TV. Clients would start with a budget and then ask agencies to develop creative that would be spent against that budget. Now the world has changed. The power has shifted from brands to people. Today, brands need people more than people need brands. The challenge for brands is delivering real benefits in real time such that you create a discreet experience. And you have to do this every day, bit by bit, minute by minute, that aggregates over time to a holistic view that the consumer has about the brand. This has caused a fundamental shift as agencies now have to develop deep, meaningful insight from data that can take a brand and catapult it to another place. This takes precision. Companies that succeed will be able to take a nuance of data that is real, meaningful, and unique and then shape the insight in a way that makes people stop.

Additionally, agencies need to understand that co-creation is happening. Gone are the days when companies threw everything at an agency and the agency was expected to come back with a final product. Clients want to be involved in creating the end product. Often, they want the consumer, or other critical stakeholders to be involved as well. Agencies have to open up the process and let clients in—the black box era of creation is over”.

1.3 Explain what makes them successful

Every company has their own recipe about how to be successful in their profession but a few main steps can help everybody especially advertising agency.

Emphasize Personal Relationships with Clients
Explain What You Do Easily
Have a Consistent Track Record of Matching Audiences
Solve the Key Problem for the Client
Ask For Referrals
Embrace Social Media
Attractive Website And Using SEO

Businesses, companies and firms that are new to the market need to hire an advertising agency to guide clients, consumers and audiences. There are many upcoming companies that are gearing their marketing to the millennials. The generation of social media, funny and rather offensive memes are here to stay and millennials are the rulers of the all things technology. Successful advertising agencies in Utah are experts in digital marketing, social media marketing, blogs, articles, design and video production. They have a vast expertise in writing and producing to the needs of their clients.

Marketing agencies that are successful and award-winning have experts in all related fields in their agency. These professionals are able to create print ads, graphic designs and blogs that gear toward audience and consumers. The most effective way to bring in consumers is video production. YouTube has gained millions of users in the past five years which is why video production is a smart route to take in order to gain popularity.

The Qualities and Services of Successful Advertising Agencies

Advertising agencies are able to have many different but related expertise. One of the most important qualities is to have professionals who can write for many different kinds of companies and firms. They need to know who the audience is, that way they can write in a proper tone and style.

Which leads to the next service, social media marketing. It’s safe to say that social media plays significant part in everybody’s life so why not connect with consumers that way? Social networking websites build virtual relationships that allows people to connect with the brand. The consumers are able to have their voices heard and give positive or negative feedback based on their experiences, that way the brand can make changes in the future. Highly rated agencies have a solid team that are able to advertise on websites, social networking sites, print and video ads.

1.4 Describe the types of customer within the chosen creative media industry

Every business has some kinds of customers so also in advertising agency we can find a particular kinds of clients.

1. Lawyers

Much like lawyers, these clients are orderly, succinct, to the point, and accurate.

They mean business. They don’t like fluff, bells and whistles, surprises, or smoke and mirrors.

They expect you to know what you’re doing, and report on it to a T. They won’t be impressed with you if you can’t explain the logic of your campaign and answer key questions about it.

These clients will be the first to let go of your firm if they’re not satisfied with your results and actions.

To Succeed With This Client: Step Up Your Game

Be organized. Your marketing campaign plan has to be laid out in advance, documented, and submitted for review before you start anything.

Have a timeline. Reference it! Make sure your client knows about delays that will cause a ripple effect.

Document everything. Have somebody take notes about conversations, details, numbers, wants, needs, etc. during meetings.

Be empirical. Rely on data to make decisions. Present all of your data to them. Base discussions on empirical facts. This helps them understand your campaigns and decision-making procedures.

Be straightforward and precise. These are practical, logical, and efficient people. Focus on sharing facts and details with them. They value short, detailed, no-frills meetings.

Ask them what they need and expect of you. Be sure to let them know what you need from them.

Demonstrate that you know what you’re doing by presenting data and facts. Share how this could affect the long-term picture. These clients think about the present and the future.

Communicate and seek their approval. This type of client likes to feel like they’re in the loop.

Best Assets and Tools to Work With:

Data, tables, charts, anything with information at its base.

Do Not:

Over-promise. They’re guaranteed to call you on it if you under-deliver.
Surprise them or give them last-minute decisions. They don’t respond well to surprises (except good ones) and they will call you out on any deviations from the plan.
Give them short deadlines. They require time and detailed information to make decisions.
Forget anything. These people are meticulous. They’ll remember details from conversations you’ve long since forgotten.
Be vague. They want to know details down to granular level. They care about how this affects their brand long-term.
Get personal. They are time-oriented folks who want to focus on what’s at stake in business, not your personal life.

This Client Wins At: Being Reliable

You can depend on this client. They are reasonable and easy to work with so long as you meet their needs.

If you ask something of them they will get it done right away. You can count on them for anything, which makes them excellent business partners.

They are a great resource to use. It’s likely that they know everything about their customers and target market. Focus on getting as much information out of them as possible.

2. Artistic Geniuses (a.k.a. Tornadoes)

The iconic artist: a genius who is everywhere at once. They have lots of brilliant projects and ideas on their mind. However, they lack the organization needed to implement them.

They mean well and are heavily invested in their company. However, they may have bitten off more than they can chew, or can’t deliver for your timeline.

Their assignments or deliverables will either be late, stray from the initial idea, or be wrong for the campaign you discussed.

Common Characteristics:

Imaginative and creative
Fast-paced
Social, confident, and gregarious
Passionate
Disorganized
Amazing brainstormers

Likely Personality Type:

Extraverted, Sensing, Feeling, Perceiving (ESFP)
Extraverted, Intuitive, Feeling, Perceiving (ENFP)
Introverted, Sensing, Feeling, Perceiving (ISFP)

To Succeed With This Client:

Be diligent with time management. This will help prevent meetings from getting derailed by their creative windstorms and personable nature. Don’t be afraid to reign the discussion in and implement focus.

Draw from their creativity and passion. These folks are very driven. They have great ideas. Don’t be afraid to use them.

Know where to draw the line. These types of people will continuously throw ideas and constructive criticism at you. Take what is most valuable, but be selective.

Don’t rely on them for deliverables. These people tend to have a lot going on. Don’t rely on them. Set timelines that they can actually meet, or get required materials from them completed in your meetings.

Best Communication Style: Organized, Friendly, Firm

Engage with these types of clients on a human level. Part of their idea of success is having a good relationship with their business partners. They value exciting, fast-paced, friendly meetings. Make sure that you have a grip on the conversation direction so you can get things done.

As practical, concrete, and creative people, you should focus on sharing details with them. Stray from abstract ideas.

Show them that you can handle projects on your own. This will prove your value to them. Demonstrate that they don’t need to jump in with their creative genius to make a campaign succeed.

Best Assets to Work With:

Lists, project details, human experiences

Do Not:

Be long-winded. These fast-paced individuals will quickly lose attention unless the topic of discussion changes often.
Be overly formal. These clients are personable and like to connect on a light-hearted note.
Give them too much abstract, vague information. These people are creative, detail-oriented thinkers. They understand concrete and focussed ideas.
Rely on them for deliverables and tedious tasks.
Allow them to hijack the project with their creativity and personable nature.

This Client Wins At: Being Go-Getter Partners

Artistic and gregarious, you will find these partners to be fun to work with and full of good ideas. They want the best for you and themselves. They’ll work hard to maintain a good relationship. They’ll also be up for anything! If you ask them to be a part of your marketing campaign it’s unlikely that they’ll say no. If you have a great, fresh idea, chances are they’ll love it!

3. Skeptics

Skeptics have a tendency to question everything (especially their colleagues), which makes them solid independent workers.

Sometimes you will run into a client who only works with you because they have to. These types don’t trust your skill until you prove yourself. They’re usually looking for an expert to execute on something they have little knowledge in.

Skeptics will be the first to poke holes in anything you propose unless you support yourself with concrete data.

This type of client thinks that they could do your job better than you (especially if you have a bad dynamic). They are not shy to drop you as an agency if you cannot deliver up to their standards.

Common Characteristics:

Critical thinkers
Skeptical
Independent
Decisive
Organized and task-oriented
Leaders
No-nonsense

Likely Personality Type:

Extraverted, Intuitive, Thinking, Judging (ENTJ)
Extraverted, Intuitive, Thinking, Perceiving (ENTP)
Introverted, Intuitive, Thinking, Perceiving (INTP)

To Succeed With This Client:

Be straightforward. Cut to the chase because these clients aren’t looking for social niceties and friendly relationships.

Speak to the logic. Skeptics are both concrete and abstract thinkers. They think about the big picture, but rely on the how in order to trust it. If you can’t answer critical questions then it’s unlikely that they will trust you and want to work with you.

Have past results to support future plans. Skeptics believe in one thing and one thing only: evidence. In order for these types to trust you, they need to see that you can prove yourself. Show them all the success you’ve had in the past and explain how you can replicate it.

Solve problems with and without them. Skeptics have thought of their own approach and solution before they consult an expert. They’re looking for a second opinion. Ask them about their ideas and integrate them into your action plan. This will help you build trust.

Have your strongest and most positive teammates deal with them. Skeptical clients can be hostile towards weak team members who cannot stand their ground and answer questions thoroughly. Highlight your team’s success and emphasize how tightly you’ve aligned to their business objectives.

Best Communication Style: Cut to the Chase

These clients are objective driven. They don’t care to talk about the weather or your pet rabbit. They want to get down to business in a productive way. Don’t be long-winded in your meetings.

Citing facts will bore these clients and make them think that you don’t know what you’re talking about. Talk big picture and use facts whenever they don’t believe you.

Focus on the big picture. Know your campaign inside and out so when they ask a tough question you can answer it without hesitation.

Best Assets to Work With:

Reason, analytics, data, strong character

Do Not:

Go into a single meeting without a game plan. Skeptics can sense weakness and use it as a reason not to trust you. Your team should function like a well-oiled machine in front of them.
Take things personally. Skeptics will poke holes in virtually everything. Don’t take it personally. They’re doing it because they care about their company (sometimes they do it because they don’t trust you).
Drop numbers. The first sign of someone who doesn’t know what they’re talking about is vacuous fact dropping. Cite numbers and facts when necessary, but don’t rely on them.
Be long-winded. These types of people don’t care for small talk. They want to have concise meetings and will easily lose patience with ramblers.

Skeptics are intimidating, but they will teach your firm a lot of valuable lessons.

After working with one of these clients successfully you will be able to do anything. They will test your marketing knowledge and business relationship skills. You’ll quickly learn from the experience. They’ll force you to know literally everything about their marketing campaign.

You’ll learn how to answer tough questions and leverage empirical evidence to gain client trust, and a lot of future clients will value this.

4. Empathizers

Empathizers are great people to work with. They want to develop a strong, friendly relationship with you. They’re your biggest cheerleader and want you to feel proud of your campaign. They want a partner, not just an agency.

Empathizers will do their very best to work with you by providing ideas and words of encouragement. Don’t get lost in their positive feedback. These folks avoid confrontation because they don’t want to hurt others around them. It can be difficult to give them criticism without hurting their feelings. You may never receive constructive feedback from these clients (which isn’t a good thing).

Empathizers want decisions to be made based on feelings, rather than facts. They will push you to agree with them, which could put your campaign on the line.

Don’t breach their trust or loyalty. This will make them re-evaluate your partnership.

Common Characteristics:

Friendly and personable
Empathetic
Open-minded
Keen organizers and planners
Tendency to juggle too much at once
Imaginative
Strongly driven by morals and feelings

Likely Personality Type:

Extraverted, Intuitive, Feeling, Judging (ENFJ)
Introverted, Intuitive, Feeling, Judging (INFJ)

To Succeed With This Client:

Position things in a personal way. Empathizers work hard for causes that they believe in. Frame your projects around things that matter most to them.

Learn how to give emotionally sensitive feedback. Things can get tense sometimes. Some personalities can handle tension well, but empathizers struggle with this. Give them feedback gently.

Be highly personable. These clients value strong personal relationships and loyalty. Make sure that your team is able to connect with them on a deeper level. They will get a lot of value out of this type of business relationship.

Listen to their ideas. Empathizers are naturally good listeners. They also want to be heard too. During meetings be sure to take detailed notes and seriously consider how to implement at least some of their ideas.

Show them how you’re making the world a better place. Nothing is more rewarding to these clients than seeing how they’re making the world a better place. Integrate long-term, positive impact into your proposals and outcomes.

Best Communication Style: Affectual, Friendly, and Big Picture-Oriented

These clients are objective driven. In order to get there, they need to have a strong relationship with your team. Integrate personal aspects into your whole business relationship. These clients will be infinitely grateful to their agency partners who take time outside of work to meet and bond.

Empathizers love big-picture plans that involve genius strategy, a strong agenda, a good schedule, and apt planning. Come prepared to your meetings. Focus on outcomes and how they are benefiting the cause that your client believes in.

Avoid conflict, don’t be harsh, and remain positive. You’ll be able to get through to your client with difficult news, criticism, and team goals much easier this way.

Best assets to work with:

Meeting minutes, gratitude, agendas

Do Not:

Be short or harsh. Criticism and judgement can be taken the wrong way with these sensitive types. Lay down negative points gently.
Disregard their moral compass. They take their personal values very seriously. Disregarding them can destroy their loyalty and make them question your relationship.
Allow their moral compass to dictate everything. Morality isn’t always an effective marketing strategy. Don’t allow abstract ideas to dictate your work. Harmoniously balance marketing goals with your clients’ feelings.
Allow their lack of criticism to mean that you can’t do your job better. Ask them how you can improve.
Focus on the small stuff. These people are big-picture thinkers who like to see results in a positive way. Don’t concern them with the granular level of your project.

This Client Wins At: Opening Your Marketing Heart and Mind

Working with empathizers will teach you valuable teamwork and empathy lessons.

They’ll show you how to make your marketing less about numbers and KPIs, and more about intrinsic impact. Marketing has a tendency to be vanity-metric oriented, and the majority of clients believe in these vanity metrics. For the first time in a long time you’ll have a client who looks past that and teaches you more about genuine human connection as a long-term benefit.

2.2 Describe the requirements of a role in the chosen creative media industry

I want to describe requirements associated with graphic designer position.

Graphic Designer/Graphic Artist

Graphic designers create the visual concepts based on the art directors design direction. They find the most effective solutions to getting messages across in print and electronic media through the use of colour, type, imagery and format.

Skills required: Visual Ideation/Creative problem solving, typography, software, layout, print design and time management.

Of course we need to know particular techniques, methods and programmes like: Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, etc.

3.2 Describe how collaboration can support the generation of ideas

Good ideas are our target when we want to work as a member of advertising agency, but when we have collaboration we can create better ideas together. It is quite simple because a few person have a different points of view, different scope of critisism, etc. When we combine it we can have as a result really good and beneficial idea.Mattias Le Cren, Product Owner at Azendoo said:

Collaboration: the gateway to successful idea generation

Generation of powerful ideas should never be seen as a talent that only some possess. If cultivated properly, all members of your team can learn how to stimulate new ideas.

Challenge yourself and your team constantly, and provide them with the environment that allows them to grow. Innovative ideas are often the results of a collaboration process created by individuals, and not the result of a single person.

In summary I only can add – two minds are better than one.

3.3 Describe how feedback can support the generation of ideas

When we work on something feedback is really important because of that we can gain very important informations about our work and we know what was good and bad, what we should improve and what is on relevant level. Good feedback can be really beneficial for us because when we have it, we are able to do improvements.

On the starquestion.com we can find informations about feedback and if we want to stay on top of things we should put our customers in a center of our business and treat their feedback as the most valuable source for information in our company. They are the ones who use our products and services, so they know best what could be improved to make them even more happy. Never ignore their voice. If we fail to meet their expectations they will find other company which will do it better than we. Use customer feedback at all corporate levels and across all departments in our company. Insights will help us develop our products, improve customer service, and manage customer satisfaction. Thanks to customer feedback we can make sure that our clients will stay with us, be loyal to our brand and in consequence will spread positive word-of-mouth for us. Having devoted brand ambassadors is gold our company needs to grow!

Remember that customer feedback is everywhere. Learn how to collect it using different tools and resources. Run surveys in different forms and search for reviews your clients post on the Internet. Do not underestimate any comment about your products and services and try to always be responsive. Your clients will appreciate you value their opinion. It is a key for developing strong relations with your audience. Customer voice is priceless for your business, so never stop listening!

4.1 Describe a range of communication methods

2020projectmanagement claims that communication is important everywhere also in the project management. Good project communication can help with achieving particular goals within our project.

Project leadership calls for clear communication about goals, responsibility, performance, expectations and feedback.

Successful project management communication is about being there for everyone, being in touch with the real challenges of the project, understanding the real issues within the team who must deliver the project as well as understanding the issues of the sponsors who the team delivers the project for. Being present, visible and engaged with everyone is important – during the good times and the challenging times.

Communication is not only about speaking to and hearing from people, it’s about understanding the complete message.

4.2 Describe suitable communication methods for different audiences

Good communication makes everything is clear and easy to understand and to do, so now we know why it is so important to have suitable communication methods for different audiences.

Carl Stanford from fleximize.com claims that one of the keys to communicating effectively is to be able to tailor your communication to your audience. This can be done in various ways, and if done correctly will allow you to engage your audience quickly and with the optimum results.

Know your audience

In business, you’ll communicate with a variety of different people in many different ways. These may include: marketing, networking, staff meetings, client and supplier meetings, disciplinary procedures, as well as communicating with regulators or government agencies.

In each situation, your communication will have certain goals and your aim will be to achieve these goals as effectively as possible. if you are speaking to a room full of colleagues, you can use jargon and company ideals to present your idea. However, if you are presenting to a room full of potential customers, this might not convert into sales.

Communication objectives

It is vital to think about the objectives of each communication, as this will help you design your message. You can then take what you already know about the audience to anticipate their reactions and tailor your message, tone and medium.

Whenever you communicate with an audience, you should be measuring and assessing their reaction, whether that’s in terms of sales, enquiries, leads or even direct feedback. Each time you do this, you’ll learn more about what works and what doesn’t. You’ll then be able to refine your next communication with that audience to better meet your objectives.

Every audience is different

If you want to maximize the effectiveness of your communication with various audiences, be aware of the different approaches. For example, a joke in the office might be inappropriate when dealing with a customer. On the other hand, the formal tone of a client negotiation will be inappropriate when chatting with colleagues.

Failing to modify your communication style to the audience can result in confusion, misunderstanding and even offence. It’s a risk that’s not worth taking, so take care with all of your communication, especially in business.

Conclusion

Creative media industry can be quite big range of a business but also we can be self-employed. Not all advertising agency need every department because everything depends on needs and range of particular agency. If we want to be successful we have to be aware that everything is changing all the time and we have to be up to date with it. We still should improve our products or services nad of course we should plan good campaings focused on our goals. Additionally we should be aware that there are a few kinds of potential clients and each of them has different expectations so we should use different methods for each of them.
Creative/advertising industry has huge range of opportunities so everything depends on us which part of it we want to create but before that we should know something about requirements in a particular role.
Another important thing is that we can be really good in our job but when we do something with other people it should be more powerful and more beneficial for us or our company. Then we should be focused on the feedback because it is ideal thing which can show us what is good and what we should improve to be more successful.
If we want to have everything clear we should use appropriate communication methods, thanks to this every goal, information, etc. is clear and easy to understand. It can help us avoid unneccessary misunderstunding. Finally we should use suitable communication methods for every audience if we want to have real benefits from our efforts.
