Learning outcomes of the courses/module

The students are able to analyze and evaluate a media plan. In addition to knowledge of marketing planning, the analysis of target groups and the market situation, students acquire the ability to define communication targets for advertising campaigns, to transfer these into media targets and to develop a media strategy using the media mix, to calculate the advertising budget and to take measures to monitor success. The knowledge of classic and new media channels, their benefit criteria and effects on the target group in an economic approach qualifies them for media planning and quality control.

Course content

The course Advertising and Media Planning as ILV deals in detail with the different "Above the line" and "Below the line" media and communication channels. Both classical media (e.g. print, TV, radio, out-of-home) and new media (e.g. Internet, social media) are processed on the basis of different points of view: (Origin) history, field of application, advertising effect, usage criteria,
Media usage behavior, as well as advantages and disadvantages from different user perspectives.
The competitive environment and costs are examined in detail so that the results can then be used efficiently and effectively in media planning. A thematic focus is the media of classical advertising.
After the students have become familiar with the most important key figures of the media market (e.g. circulation, reach, average contacts (OTS), media weighting (GRP)), media planning is treated as a practical counterpart to theoretical preparation using appropriate examples.
