- Advertising campaign development: insight from internship in an advertising agency in NigeriaPublication . Amaechi, Ogadinma Angela; Guerreiro, ManuelaAdvertising campaigns are essential tools for organizations to engage with their target audience, influence brand perceptions, and ultimately impact customer behavior, as supported by various scholarly works. Internship agencies play a crucial role in managing the creation and implementation of these campaigns, especially in a dynamic advertising industry. This internship report outlines the candidate's activities during an internship at Mediatek Global Services, Nigeria, from September 20, 2023, to January 10, 2024. For this internship, the following activities were performed in order to address the objectives set by the company: a) to study how campaigns are developed and executed at Mediatek Global Services, b) how advertising messages are received by the target audience by evaluating the success of the campaign through hands-on internship experience, c) how the creative development process impacts conversion rates at Mediatek Global Services and d) the elements that influence the virality and shareability of advertising content. The research utilized an action research approach for data collection. It revealed that Mediatek Global Services employed three primary campaign execution strategies: Integrated Marketing Communication (IMC), Targeted Digital Advertising, and Content Marketing and Storytelling. The campaigns resulted in positive brand awareness outcomes, with brand recall increasing from 28%-32% to 50%-60% post-campaign. The creative development process was found to significantly impact conversion rates, with an average increase of 1.5%. The study also highlighted challenges faced during campaign development, including a limited understanding of the target audience, tight timelines, budget constraints, poor communication, and resource allocation issues. These findings offer valuable insights into the effectiveness of communication strategies, emphasizing a sophisticated and multifaceted approach that aligns with contemporary theories of communication strategy and advertising. Despite the success of Mediatek’s campaigns in enhancing brand awareness, there are areas for improvement. Customizing content to audience preferences, adopting more flexible and adaptive campaign planning, and integrating advanced analytics could further enhance engagement and conversion rates. This report not only documents the candidate's internship activities but also provides a critical evaluation of advertising strategies employed, showcasing a blend of traditional and digital methods.
