    • Low involvement hierarchy follows: Minimal Cognition → Conation → Affect.
    • The Hierarchy of Marcom Effects illustrates sequential consumer movement toward marketing goals.

    Important Considerations in Persuasion

    • Message clarity, strength, and emotional appeal are crucial for effective communication.
    • Receiver involvement and predisposed attitude will influence the effectiveness of the message.
    • Moderate sources can be effective with positive initial positions, despite general skepticism towards advertisements.

    Setting Marcom Objectives

    • Clearly define target audience, objectives, measurable outcomes, and ensure internal consistency.
    • Distinguish between indirect communication objectives (brand awareness, attitude enhancement) and direct sales objectives (sales increases).

    Advertising Agency Structure

    • Creative services develop advertising concepts; media services handle media strategies; research services analyze consumer behavior and preferences.
    • Agencies typically compensate through commission structures, although this can lead to larger clients overshadowing smaller businesses.
