Assessment
Task 1 : Knowledge Test
BSBMKG555 Student Assessment Information Pack V1 Page 8 of 98
Provide your response to each question in the box below.
Q1: Explain the key features of creative briefs that include the following:
a) communication purpose and objective
Publicity, marketing, advertising, public relations, product launches, consumer
education, and other aspects of the promotion plan are included, with communication
playing the most important role in channelling all of the operations.
• Organising Resources: Different resources, such as financial, human, and material
resources, are vital elements of an organisation, and communication plays a critical role
in coordinating all of these resources.
• Increasing Worker Efficiency: To improve workforce efficiency, managers must convey
the correct practices, strategies, and items at the right moment in the most
personalised way possible. An effective communication strategy best serves this.
• Motivating Others/Audiences: Whether you’re operating a business or directing any
social or educational endeavours, you’ll need to motivate people. To stay motivated in
achieving the goals, you must properly encourage your audiences.positioning strategy
b) customer profile and positioning
Customer profiles are files containing information on individual customers, such as age,
gender, and purchasing habits, that determine who to target with certain products.

The Psychographic Method: To establish market categories, the psychographic approach looks
at clients’ lives. Many factors, such as hobbies, interests, values, and socioeconomic status,
contribute to adopting the psychographic method.
 •Age, locality, and gender are all determinants of lifestyle and demography.

 A subset of lifestyle is activities, interests, and opinions, which focuses on your


consumers’ activities, interests, and opinions.

 How people were raised affects their values, attitudes, and socioeconomic class.
 Consumer Typology as a Method: Customers are classified into customer typologies
based on their motives, attitudes, and ways to engage them. Consumers are divided
into four categories: loyal customers, discount customers, impulsive customers, and
need-based customers.
 Loyal customers are hard to come by, but they’re worth their weight in gold.

 On the other hand, discount shoppers have no preference for one brand over another.

 Impulsive shoppers don’t go shopping with a clear goal in mind.

 Need-driven shoppers are the polar opposite of impulsive shoppers.

c) key messages
A messaging document’s main messages should accomplish the following:
 State the key point you want people to remember about your product or service.

 Resonate with the audience you’re trying to reach, so they pay attention and believe

BSBMKG555 Student Assessment Information Pack V1 Page 9 of 98


what you’re saying is important.

 State what you need to say clearly and simply, such as what you stand for, why you’re
different, what value you give, what issues you address, and so on.

 Keep the tone and style in mind: Short, snappy phrases work best with a style ideal for
social media posts.

d) communication tool

• Employees and project teams require collaboration tools to help them work more
efficiently. These include private messaging, group messaging, and chat. Members can’t
discuss ideas and maintain track of group progress without a platform to cooperate on. Emails
are frequently misplaced, unopened, or discussions get excruciatingly lengthy.

• Intranet social software: Every company passes through a transition period when it
becomes obvious that its internal communications are failing. In your IT department, it’s all too
common to move forward with technology without questioning why it’s being done. You can
determine what software or solutions will enhance how members communicate by searching
for a few indicators inside your organisation.

• Internal blogs and videos: Using your corporate intranet to post-training films,
messages from top-level management or cultural videos will boost employee engagement and
retention. Infographics are another fantastic approach to show vital information when it comes
to image-focused content.

• Workplace discussion forums: Information sharing is critical for internal growth and
community. Veteran employees may assist new employees in coming up to speed faster and
with fewer mistakes by orienting them on what’s going on within the company.

e) call to action
A call to action is a prompt website that instructs the user to do something specific. A
call to action is usually phrased as a command or action phrase, such as “Sign Up” or
“Buy Now,” which usually appears as a button or hyperlink.
f) budget
To keep their budgets alive, creative teams are frequently expected to explain the
return on their investments. After all, the purpose of the creative process is to bring a
company’s business plan to life in an engaging way.
g) Timeframe

The finest examples of helpful visualisations are creative timelines. They communicate a
lot of information, but they also put it in perspective by presenting it sequentially
alongside other occurrences. Timelines can go all the way back in time or all the way
ahead in time.

1. It’s as easy as illustrating a series of events: A table of contents is an example of a creative

BSBMKG555 Student Assessment Information Pack V1 Page 10 of 98


“timeline.” It displays the locations of several chapters as well as a visual overview of what
each chapter will cover.
2. Highlight events that have had or will have the greatest influence: Using varying sizes of
bubbles throughout the timeline, this creative timeline example illustrates connected events
and their anticipated impact.
3. Compare two (or more) projects simultaneously: This imaginative timeline illustrates the
quantity of media mentions specific diseases received in every given year. You can see how
frequently some diseases were mentioned compared to others.

Q2: Answer the following questions:

2.1 What is the requirement of positioning in persuasive content? Answer in 150 –


200 words

.
• The audience of your marketing message will immediately understand why they should
be interested in your service, product, solution, technology, or organisation if you position it
correctly.

• The positioning provides a conceptual space in the mind of your target audience that
you may claim with the idea that has a compelling significance for them. Your answer to the
recipient’s problem meets and forms a meaningful bond in this mental area. This implies that
you must be as knowledgeable about your clients and their problems as your product.

• A positioning statement is a brief, declarative sentence that states a benefit while


addressing the target market’s most pressing problem. In addition to your company or product
name, a positioning statement clarifies why the target market should be concerned about your
claim and take action. All of your marketing communications revolve around your positioning
statement.

2.2 What is the need for key messages in persuasive content? Answer in 150-200
words.

• Positioning messages are a collection of carefully calibrated and targeted informational


platforms upon which a firm rest, similar to branding.

• Dynamic communications change in response to specific company issues, such as


quarterly earnings announcements, product launches, or crises.

• Key themes are crucial because they serve as the cornerstone of an organisation’s
branding and marketing activities, and they should be represented in all written and spoken
communications.

• They are the essence of what you want to convey, keeping in mind that communication
is about the receiver’s perception of it and what they do with it, not what you say or transmit.

• The cornerstone of public relations is key messaging. They assist public relations in
prioritising activities, ensuring consistency, and remaining focused while interacting with the
media, workers, and other stakeholders.

BSBMKG555 Student Assessment Information Pack V1 Page 12 of 98


Your company’s key statements construct a storey that crystallises business information,
inspires calls to action, and solidifies public opinion

2.3 What is the requirement of a call to action in persuasive content? Answer in 150-
200 words.

• CTAs Inspire Your Sales Funnel: Sales funnels and CTAs are tightly related. The calls to
action serve as a connection point between the various stages of the buyer's journey. They tell
the user what to do next and encourage them to get started right away. Whether you want
your user to visit your blog, give you their contact information, download an e-book, or
subscribe to an email list, you must incentivize this action with a well-placed CTA along the
sales funnel.

• Customers Expect Them: Calls to action aren’t simply vital for the company; customers
also expect them. Many users rely on the CTA at the bottom of the page to prompt them to
take the next action. They’ve read your ad content, are interested in learning more about your
company, and are looking for the CTA button to find out what they should do next.

• Why They Help Digital Advertising Succeed: Digital advertising is all about creating buzz
about your product or service, capturing customers’ attention, and persuading them to buy.
The call to action is the missing piece of the jigsaw that emphasises the ad copy’s effectiveness.
Your copy messaging will fall flat if you don’t include a CTA.

Q3: Explain the following formatting requirements for the content in 100-150 words each:

a) Language

Formatting requirements for content regarding language are :


1.Choose the Right Language Level: When editing, keep the aforementioned in mind since
you’ll need to be careful with your word choices while still meeting your content objectives.
2. Avoid Using Expressions: An expression, also known as an idiom, is a term that is often used
to communicate a thought.
3. Ditch the Clichés: A cliché is a phrase that has been overused to the point of losing its
original meaning or becoming old and monotonous.
4. Avoid Alliteration, Assonance, and Consonance: When two or more words begin

with the same letter or sound, you’re employing alliteration.

b) Writing style
Writing style formatting requirements for content are:
1. Be Succinct: Being as concise as possible not only enhances your work but also saves you
money when you translate it. Tightening your sentences and deleting any repetition saves you
money. The reason for this is because your word count is used to determine translation
expenses.

2. Make your page more white space-friendly by creating shorter paragraphs.

BSBMKG555 Student Assessment Information Pack V1 Page 16 of 98


3. Use subheads to make your blog style easier to read.

4. Include bulleted lists everywhere you provide information in a series.

5. Use blockquotes to emphasise important points.

6. Include links for visual appeal as well as search engine optimisation.

7. Include at least one graphic to help your audience understand what you’re saying.

c) Level of detail

• In writing, the degree of detail (also known as the level of abstraction) relates to
three concepts: accuracy in selecting the appropriate words to construct phrases,
clauses, and sentences.
• Sufficient knowledge for the reader to make an informed decision on the issue
• Sufficient information for the reader to take appropriate action
• Accuracy of the data based on the kind of data
• Accuracy of the data based on the target audience
• Adequate level of information for the subject
• Appropriate degree of detail for the audience size; knowledge required for
comprehension or experience

BSBMKG555 Student Assessment Information Pack V1 Page 17 of 98


Q4: Explain the following legislation, standards and code of practices that affect the production and
delivery of persuasive copy:

a) Copyright Act 1968


The Copyright Act of 1968 governs copyright in original literary, dramatic, musical, and artistic
works and subject matter other than works in Australia.
The manner of expressing ideas, rather than the ideas, information, or concepts represented, is
protected by copyright.
The exclusive right to reproduce a literary, dramatic, or musical work in a material form;
publish and communicate the work in public; adapt the work, Copyright in a literary, theatrical,
or musical work can include the ability to enter into a commercial leasing contract in respect of
the work reproduced in a sound recording.

BSBMKG555 Student Assessment Information Pack V1 Page 18 of 98


If the author was a “qualified person” when the work was completed or for a
significant portion of that period, copyright would exist in an unpublished literary,
theatrical, musical, or artistic work. must not only be an expression of unique or
imaginative ideas, but it must also be the work of an author rather than a copy.
b) Patents Act 1988 and Trademark protection
Australian patent law governs the award of a temporary monopoly on the use of an
invention in return for the innovation’s publication and free use after a certain period.
The Patents Act of 1990 is the most important piece of law. IP Australia, a
Commonwealth government body, is in charge of patent administration. An Australian
patent gives you the legal right to prevent anyone from making, using, or selling your
innovation in Australia. It can also be used to contract with someone else to produce
an innovation under certain conditions. IP Australia manages Australian patents.
c) Design Act 2003, and Database right
enables persons to seek registration of specific visual elements (shape, configuration,
pattern, and ornamentation) of a product that is unique and distinctive, giving the registrant
an exclusive right to exploit the design of that object.

Database rights: Australia does not recognise database rights as a distinct set of rights.
Therefore any protection for databases must be sought under the standard Intellectual
Property Rights Regime for copyright-protected copyrighted literary works. The database
right protects databases that are not subject to the same conditions as copyright protection
and is only recognised in a small number of jurisdictions. The TRIPS Agreement stipulates
that copyright protection applies to databases and other compilations if created intellectually
by selecting or organising their contents, even if some or all of the contents are not
copyrighted items.

Q5: Answer the following questions:

5.1. What are the three (3) constraints to be considered during the analysis, evaluation and
preparation of persuasive copy? Answer in 150-200 words.

• The copy should be written in such a way that it enlists the support of potential
customers. A broad appeal to all falls on deaf ears and fails to pique the interest of any specific
group or portion of the population.

BSBMKG555 Student Assessment Information Pack V1 Page 20 of 98


• The copy should be drawn up with a specific objective rather than the general one of
increasing sales. As sales are circumscribed by several barriers like the feeling of high prices,
the existence of rival brands, lack of quality confidence or knowledge of poor performance, the
message of the copy should be directed to dispel the wrong impression or overcome the
consumer resistance.

• Copy being meant for conveying information, it must provide such information through
as simple, clear, concise and complete a copy as possible. A simple and clear copy requires
known words and familiar phrases

5.2. Explain the steps that are implemented to avoid constraints during the preparation of the
copy. Answer in 150-200 words.

1.Exploit your product’s benefits: The initial stage is to concentrate on your product’s advantages.

advantage of your competitors’ flaws: To produce engaging copy, you must first understand what sets
your product apart from the competition. Once you’ve identified your rivals’ flaws, make sure your
audience is aware of them and understands why buying their goods would be a bad idea terrible
mistake.
3. Know your audience: Not everyone on the globe will see every advertisement. A certain audience
will see each ad, and it is the marketer’s responsibility to identify the optimum placement to ensure
that the target demographic sees it.
4. Share WIIFM (What’s In It For Me?) information: An advertising or marketing item is created for
various alternatives. Before you start writing your marketing text, make sure you have a good idea of
what you want to promotional piece, you need to understand your goals for that piece.
5.Know your media: When writing your text, keep in mind that each medium in which an ad is
published demands a particular tone or style.
6. Avoid TMI (Too Much Information): If you include too much detail in your content, you risk losing
your audience’s interest.

BSBMKG555 Student Assessment Information Pack V1 Page 21 of 98


BSBMKG555 Student Assessment Information Pack V1 Page 22 of 98
Q6: 6.1 What is the relevance of having organisational policies and procedures relevant to
writing copy? Answer in 100-150 words.

1. Improving Communication: A well-written policies and procedures handbook is a useful


communication tool for smoothly processing all business processes inside the company and
eliminating transmission gaps.
2. Setting expectations: policies and procedures for copywriting assist in establishing standards
for content structure, language, and style.
3. Improved productivity and goal achievement: Following processes leads to increased
productivity since there are fewer chances of making mistakes, which aids in achieving
organisational goals.
4. Promotes clarity in writing: When people adhere to policies and understand what is expected
of them, writing improves

6.2 What should be included in organisational policies and procedures for efficient
copywriting? Answer in 100-150 words.

1. Ethicality: Ethical behaviour necessitates considering what is essentially right or wrong in a


particular scenario. The correct thing to do isn’t always evident, and there are occasions when
you’re faced with an ethical problem.
2. Originality of thinking or expression: Creative writing reflects the author’s creative
imagination and originality of thought or expression.
3. Connection: Making people feel at ease with your company is a certain method to turn them
from semi-aware customers to active brand supporters.
4. Transparency: Behind-the-scenes secrets provide your consumers with a glimpse into your
world, reassuring them that you don’t simply speak the talk but do the walk. Customers want
to get to know and trust you before doing business with you, and allowing them access to your
domain gives them that opportunity.

BSBMKG555 Student Assessment Information Pack V1 Page 23 of 98


BSBMKG555 Student Assessment Information Pack V1 Page 24 of 98
Q7: Explain the following techniques for persuasive writing:

a. Focus on resonating with emotional problems


Everyone has problems, and your product or program is intended to assist people in resolving
one or more of these issues.
Many firms simply begin by describing their solutions. One of the most effective
persuasive tactics is to begin by empathising with your readers’ emotional difficulties.
People are drawn in and prepared to buy into a solution when they witness someone
discussing something “awful” they are going through. People want to know that you
understand their difficulties and are committed to your company’s purpose.
b. Draw attention to your points with rhetorical questions
Rhetorical questions draw your points. They’re not designed to be replied to. Therefore there
shouldn’t be one. If your query can be answered with a simple “yes” or “no,” it will not entice
visitors to continue reading. Instead, ask “What does this mean?” inquiries that make the
reader think. alternatively, “How are you going to do that?” Rhetorical questions pique readers’
interest and entice them to continue reading your text.
c. Incorporate facts, data, and other analytical information

• Some members of your audience may be more analytical than others.


• Some items or services aren’t designed to help people with emotional issues.
• Even when you can use emotion, having real evidence to back it up improves the
appeal.

d. Demonstrate social proof at key junctures


People assume the acts of others in an attempt to reflect appropriate behaviour in a given
scenario, which is known as social proof. When we decide, we want to know that other people
believe it is the best choice. Who are these “other” individuals?
• Specific people we admire
• People in comparable situations to us

BSBMKG555 Student Assessment Information Pack V1 Page 25 of 98


• Large groups of unknown strangers
Influencer endorsements, client testimonials, and social share counts are all examples
of social proof.
e. Use tone to add emotion and keep things interesting

Your tone has the power to make your text come alive. It may make your creative brief a lot
more interesting for potential customers to read.
People’s reactions are influenced by what they see in your content. The tone you use is crucial.
It enables you to communicate as a fellow human being rather than a corporation seeking to
make a profit. It aids in the development of trust. Because your readers are also people, they
will identify with your tone when they read your text.

Policies and procedures relating to copyright

Overview

Copyright refers to the owner’s exclusive rights to publish, copy, adapt, broadcast, and perform content
found in literary, dramatic, musical, and creative works, as well as computer software, sound
recordings, films, and broadcasts.

According to the Copyright Act, the owner is usually the author or creator of the copyrighted material,
although it can also be another person or legal body. The organisation’s policy on Intellectual Property
addresses copyright ownership issues.

There are some exceptions to the prohibition on using another’s copyright. The owner may permit or
licence another to exercise the copyright, or the law may allow some copyright exercise, either for free
or in exchange for equitable payment to the copyright owner.

This article aims to provide broad guidelines on the types of copying that can be done legally within the
company.

Policy

The organisation must comply with the terms of the Copyright Act 1968 and any relevant copyright
agreement(s) currently in effect when copying copyright material.

BSBMKG555 Student Assessment Information Pack V1 Page 37 of 98


Legislative Requirements

The Copyright Act of 1968 governs the organisation’s activities.


Infringement of Copyright

It is explicitly banned to use organisation equipment, facilities, and/or premises for a purpose that
infringes on copyright. Under the Copyright Act, everyone who commits such an infringement is
personally accountable. The organisation may also be found liable.

Use of Copyright without Infringement

Voluntary Licence

The copyright owner may freely or under licence authorise another to use one or more of the
exclusive rights. These licences should be strictly followed; for example, a computing software licence
may be limited to a specific site, person, machine, or purpose.

For copywriters:

• When writing web ad copy, keep in mind any legal or ethical limits.
• Be aware of legislation and legislative instruments that are relevant to the copywriting process,
both directly and indirectly;
• Before beginning the design process, write down these limitations, including their most
important stipulations.
• Demonstrate strong corporate citizenship throughout the copywriting process’ lifespan.

Ethical considerations

Ethical Requirements Explanation

Advocacy Only objective and neutral information should be included in the copy.

Decent content The content is designed to sell a skincare product that people are more
likely to use.

Subliminal promotion There should be no hidden signals in the copy that cause people to
consume things irrationally.

Appropriate language Insulting and abusive language that makes people feel resentful or
embarrassed should not be used in the copy.

Honesty When describing the benefits, the copy should be accurate and truthful.

Legislative requirements

BSBMKG555 Student Assessment Information Pack V1 Page 38 of 98

Organisational policies and procedures and style guide

Organisational policies and procedures and style guide

The organisation requires that complex documents are presented in a clear, concise, and consistent
manner.

When preparing any complex document, you must follow the guidelines in this style guide for
shortened forms, capitals, hyphens, punctuation, en rules, bullets, quotations, and italics. These
guidelines apply whether your target audience is internal or external and whether your output is hard-
copy or electronic.

Document purpose

Before starting to write, it is useful to ask yourself:

● To whom am I writing?

● How much information do they need to know?

● What information must be conveyed?

BSBMKG555 Student Assessment Information Pack V1 Page 39 of 98


● What medium will best meet the needs of the audience?

Using plain English

Techniques that will help you to communicate in plain English include:

● Writing in short sentences with no more than two printed lines


● Arranging your documents so that the most important information comes first, followed by the
details

● Always thinking about your readers and tailoring your writing to their needs rather than your
own

● Using short, familiar words where they match your meaning, rather than adorning text with
long words to sound impressive

● Utilising the same language as you would in a personal letter

● Paying equal attention to design and layout as well as language

● Writing in the active voice entails putting the agent of the action before the action (for
example, ‘we do it,’ rather than ‘it is done by us’).

● Utilising a large number of first and second-person pronouns (I, we, you), particularly in letters
or reports

● Avoiding the use of unnecessary capital letters

● Avoiding archaic words such as ‘heretofore,’ ‘herein,’ and ‘aforementioned.’

Avoid jargon

Jargon is a technical or specialist language unique to a profession or group that is understood by


those on the inside but is often incomprehensible or meaningless to outsiders.

It can take many forms, such as acronyms like ‘RUN,’ ‘EFTSL,’ or ‘AB,’ unfamiliar phrases like
‘capacity building,’ or conventional words with special meanings like ‘accreditation.’

If you cannot avoid terms that are likely to be unfamiliar to your audience, clearly explain to them
when they are first used or list them in a glossary for a report or add them to the Definitions
Dictionary in the case of a policy or procedure.

Use non-discriminatory (inclusive) language

Individuals and groups can be discriminated against based on their gender, race or ethnic origin,
physical or intellectual disability, sexual preference, or age. To avoid discriminatory expressions,
rewriting or recasting a sentence may be a better solution than substituting words.

BSBMKG555 Student Assessment Information Pack V1 Page 40 of 98


Consider tables and charts

Tables are used to display numerical data that would be difficult to comprehend if presented solely in
words.

Good images help to communicate your thoughts by adding immediacy, focusing attention,
stimulating interest, and saving words. The use of graphics should aid the audience in comprehending
your message. A chart usually has one of two functions: it provides a specific example of a general
idea being explored in the text or summarises a body of information being discussed in the text.
Graphics should never be an afterthought when it comes to writing; instead, plan ahead to utilise
them properly. Make sure that your text and graphics go well together. It’s a waste of time to
duplicate information in text, images, and tables.

Tables and figures should be numbered and labelled, and they should be referred to by their numbers.
Use the following convention to place a table title before the table and a figure title after the figure:

● Table 1: (bold text, before table)

● Figure 1: (bold text, after figure)

To improve accessibility by the vision impaired, all graphics should be labelled with “alternative text.”
For instructions on how to achieve this, see ‘Instructions for Writing a Policy.’ Spelling

Policy and procedure documents are to be written in Australian English. The Macquarie Dictionary
should be used to check the spelling.

Common errors include using the letter ‘z’ instead of the letter ‘s’, for example, in an organisation and
deleting the letter ‘u’ in words that end in ‘our’ such as neighbour and colour.

Font

Size 10 black Verdana font is required for policy and procedure documents.

Size 8 black Verdana Templates will offer you the perfect size for headers and other elements.
