Rationale
for Module
 
Our social environment is characterized on the one hand by an abundance of information and on the
other by an abundance of products. Companies are therefore dependent on communicating with their
environment in a targeted manner in order to sell their products/services successfully in their respective
target markets. The importance of communication as a major component in the range of marketing
instruments and its influence in modern organisations is also growing as the possibilities provided by
modern technologies increase. This context underlines the importance of developing the most effective,
modern communication possible as a means of awareness creation, brand-building and of reaching
target groups with sales-promotional advertising information. This module provides students with the
tools of psychological and behavioural theory needed to communicate advertising messages as
effectively as possible.
The module builds on student knowledge and skills in the fields of typography, print media design and
digital media gained in the Level 1 module ‘Media Production & Layout’. The module is closely related to
the other Level 2 marketing modules and students are encouraged to relate advertising psychology to the
wider context of marketing communication. It is preparation for the Level 3 modules ‘Consumer
Behaviour’ and ‘Marketing & Media Interactions’.
Aims This module aims to:
• provide an overview of standard psychological theories of perception, learning, motivation and emotions
• develop students’ abilities to employ psychological and behavioural understanding in relation to
  media communication
• enable students to reflect critically on their own behaviour in relation to advertising messages
