Advertising campaigns are created to solve a specific issue or pursue a new opportunity for the client. To facilitate the creative thinking, it’s important to divide the final goal into specific advertising objectives.
After the client presents the challenge that the agency must resolve, before even start thinking about the big idea, it’s important to understand and analyze:
Market Information
Information on the market the client is in and what the client’s place in it is.
Market Profile

Product Profile

Competitor Profile
Information on the competitors, what their position is in the market, and how it relates to the client.
Target Market Profile
The demographic, psychographic, and geographic info on their target audience.
Budget
