Advertisement Objective Setting Guide

The chapter discusses setting advertisement objectives and metrics for measuring ad campaign effectiveness. It covers defining specific, measurable communication goals for a target audience within a set timeframe, such as awareness, knowledge, or preference. The DAGMAR model provides a framework for operational objectives, but critics argue the best metric is sales and it can be difficult to determine the right hierarchy level or measure attitudes and comprehension. Objectives should specify the communication task, audience, and timeframe.

The chapter discussed about the right metrics for measuring the effectiveness of an ad campaign.
A related function for an objective is to measure the results for evaluation purposes. Thus the
objective needs to be operational and it could be an immediate construct such as Market Share,
Brand Awareness, they could be effective demarcating tool between strategic and tactical
decision of the company. In order to form a useful and effective objective needs knowledge
about
1. Knowledge about the target segment
2. Knowledge about the behaviour of the segment that the advertisement is about to
precipitate, change or influence
3. Knowledge about the process that the advertisement plays in changing, influencing the
process.
The DAGMAR approach, Defining Advertisement Goals for Measured Advertising Results are a
set of precise method for selecting and quantifying goals and for using those goals to measure
performance. The advertisement goal is a specific communication task to be accomplished
among a defined audience, in a given period of time. A communication model such as
DAGMAR proposes that an audience will pass through a hierarchy of effects such as AIDA, or
six stages such as awareness, knowledge, liking, preference, conviction, purchase.

The DAGMAR model proposes a framework for setting up more operational objectives. The
critics although believe that best results of advertisement are sales. Some critics also feel that it is
difficult to select a hierarchy level on which to base objective and to know how to move people
up the hierarchy, challenges include shadowing the evolvement of great idea which is supposedly

specific, which is specific to pin point, it should be a measureable task with a starting point, a
defined audience and have a fixed time period. The extension to the DAGMAR approach
proposes not only to consider the size of the segment but also to consider the difficulty and
therefore the cost of moving them up the hierarchy.
