MEDIA PLAN FOR SHUKURA
SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS
Through
the end of 2013, diseases caused by filth shot up a notch higher in the
country. When my team and I visited this community we noticed that 7 out of
every 10 marketing environment was littered, all gutters were chocked with
rubbish. Also according to research we recorded that there is nothing serving
as an informant to educate the people on the need to keep their environment
clean. Our primary focus was the market place.
In this environment we realized that the market women and teenagers
ranged from the ages of 13-50 years and they all sold in a dirty environment

It is crucial to consider the target audience’s use of
media when creating a media plan in order to understand their selected use of
media in terms of which categories and vehicles they use. Timing is essential
in the media plan. For scheduling of your chosen vehicles, financial
consideration, reach and frequency goals will help determine when and how often
your adverts appear or are recognized. Tactical elements are important as well,
to receive maximum support from your target audience; this will aid or enable
their absolute participation considering the given objective. If funds permit
or major changes to the plan are being contemplated, it is recommended that the
plan be tested on a small scale before being launched in it’s entirely.
