Advertising Campaigns Analysis. from Sarah Byard
I know what you're thinking: that's great, Sarah, but why is this relevant? I'll tell you for why.

As our "band" is "new", we'll be taking the advice of the wise and wonderful Fall Out Boy:

As our "band" is "new", we'll be taking the advice of the wise and wonderful Fall Out Boy:
- We will need to feature an image of our band, or else nobody will know who we are.
- We will need to feature our name prominently.
- Institution information and a release date will be useful to attract target audience.
- We could include a conceptual picture; however, it would not be prominent as we are not established enough to get away with a single image yet.
- Linking the poster to our digipak is extremely important; we could link it to the music video, but the digipak is more important because that's what people would be buying.
- Big, bold fonts will get us noticed more.
Cheerio, toodle-pip.
