Course Description

The emergence and growth of digital technology and social media has created many more media options for advertisers and their agencies to get their messages into the market place. Advertising planners, creatives and media professionals need to be aware of, and responsive to, the opportunities they present and the limitations of each. They include broadcast media, print and digital media, as well as ‘non-traditional’ media such as ambient, point-of-purchase, product placement, guerrilla marketing and social media.

The course is designed to develop an insight into how the appropriate choice of media can maximise the communication effect whilst examining the tools and media theories available to assist with this. It will build your ability to research and identify traditional and emerging media as a way of reaching consumers.

Through research and interpretation of the current media landscape, you will use critical thinking to assess the most effective ways of using media to advertise.


Objectives/Learning Outcomes/Capability Development

In this course you will develop the following program learning outcomes:

  • Demonstrate creativity, critical thinking and innovation when identifying and solving problems in diverse contexts within the discipline.
  • Work with others in a range of roles and contexts, demonstrating cultural, environmental and social awareness and ethical and reflective practice. 


Upon successful completion of this course, you will be able to:

  • Discuss the theory, and emerging global trends, in media planning and buying.
  • Identify and evaluate links between effective media planning and buying and overall communication of a marketing objective.
  • Discuss the major participants in the media industry and the roles they play in media planning and buying agencies, advertising agencies and client organisations.
  • Design and develop media campaigns with consideration given to the advertising task, suitability to the advertising message, environment and target audience.
