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. In order to achieve their goals, companies are dependent on communicating with their
environment in a targeted manner, not least so that they can 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. Nowadays in Europe alone, billions of euros are spent and earned with modern computerbased
forms of communication and the design of publications developed by means of computer-based graphics. 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 combined with modern media design
techniques needed to communicate advertising messages as efficiently 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 Design and Production. The module is closely related to the other Level 2
marketing modules. It is preparation for the Level 3 modules Consumer Behaviour and Marketing & Media
Interactions.
