Project (For this assessment, you can choose any other organisation, which must be
approved by your assessor.)
Lux stands for the promise of beauty and glamour as one of India's most trusted personal
care brands. Since its launch in India in the year 1929, Lux has offered a range of soaps in
different colors and world class fragrances. Lux is a beauty soap of film stars. Lux soap was
first launched in 1916 as laundry soap targeted specifically at 'delicates'. Lever Brothers
encouraged women to home launder their clothes without fear of satins and silks being
turned yellow by harsh dyes that were often used in soaps at the time. The flake-type soap
allowed the manufacturer some leeway from lye because it did not need to be shaped into
traditional cake-shaped loaves as other soaps were. The result was a gentler soap that
dissolved more readily and was advertised as suitable for home laundry use. Lux toilet soap
was introduced in 1925 as bathroom soap. The name 'Lux' was chosen as a play on the word
"luxury." Lux has been marketed in several forms, including bar and flake and liquid (hand
wash, shower gel and cream bath soap). Lux in step with the changing trends and evolving
beauty needs of the consumers, offers an exciting range of soaps and Body Washes with
unique elements to make bathing time more pleasurable. One can choose from arrange of
skincare benefits like firming, fairness and moisturizing. From the 1930s right through to the
1970s, Lux soap colors and packaging were altered several times to reflect fashion trends. In
1958 five colors made up the range: pink, white, blue, green and yellow. People enjoyed
matching their soap with their bathroom colors.
Categories of soaps: Soaps are categorized into men's soaps, ladies' soaps and common
soaps. There are few specialty soaps like the Glycerin soaps, sandal soaps, specially flavored
soaps, medicated soaps and baby soaps. Specialty soaps are high valued which enjoy only
a small share of the market in value terms. The market is growing at 7% a year. This means
that the incremental demand generation is 5% over and above the population growth. With
increasing awareness of hygienic standards, the market for the Soaps could grow at a rate
higher than 8% annually. Interestingly, 60% of the market is now sourced from the rural sector.
This means that the variance between the two segments is not very large. Since upper- end
market focus is the urban areas, margins come from the urban sector.
Lux Fresh Splash Soap: This sea green lux beauty soap is infused with cooling mint, sea
minerals and fine fragrance making it best for your early morning bath. The soap energizes
the body and makes the dull skin, sparkling and refreshed. The soap gives a cooling
sensation to the skin while bathing and makes the body fragrant and energized.
Mark is the new marketing manager of the Lux soaps. Mark intends to increase the sale of the
soap through effective advertisement. Mark decided to publish the advertisement for the Lux
fresh splash soap in the Herald sun newspaper. Mark contacted Herald sun newspaper in this
regard.
John is the assistant manager of Herald sun newspaper. John decided to discuss with Mark
about the interpretation of creative brief of the advertisement.
Task:
marketing manager of Lux soaps. At the end of the role play, student will fill the template for
outcomes of discussion with customer.
1: Discuss and confirm creative idea of the advertisement with the customer.
2: Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of various techniques used for
expressing the creative idea and confirm with customer which technique he wishes
to use in advertisement.
3: Confirm with customer about supporting information and discuss ways to check
advertising content for accuracy and completeness.
4: Discuss about the various time schedules for advertisement such as production
schedule.
5: Discuss about the estimated costs of producing and placing print advertisement
and the varying costs between different techniques.
6: Discuss various legal and ethical constraints to print media advertisement.
As per the template for outcomes of discussion with Mark, John developed creative brief of
the advertisement. John has the task to create an advertisement in the newspaper for the
Lux fresh splash soap.
John decided that the components of advertisement in the newspaper will have a Headline,
Subheading, Body copy, Signature, Disclosure. Terms or Conditions and Illustrations.
For layout and design: John choose to follow the rule of thirds. He chooses san serif font such
as Arial for headlines and a serif font like Times New Roman works best for text located in the
body copy. John believes that using more than three different font sizes reduces the
readability of the document and the heading text should be twice as large as the copy text
and the subheading text should be half-way between. John set the headlines font size to 24
points, subheadings at 18 points and copy text at 12 points. He also chooses upper and
lower-case type face to make headlines more readable. John knows that over use of styles
will deemphasize the message.
John will use white space help put more focus on a specific aspect of your composition and
adding meaning to design without adding in another physical element.
John performed general percentage breakdown of the different elements of an ad as rule
of thumb guideline:
o Visual (the main photo or illustration) — 65%
o Headline — 10%
o Ad Copy — 20%
o Logo — 5%
The percentages are how much space each major element should take up in the ad. The
main visual should be very large, and in the top portion of the ad, to take advantage of
where the reader instinctively looks first.
The headline doesn't take up a lot of space on the page, yet it stands out because it's
succinct, contrasts with the page, and set in large type. Copy describes the benefits of what
you're promoting or selling. The logo should be placed in the bottom right area of the ad,
because that's where the eye is drawn to last.
The positioning of advertisement is very important in the publication. John decides that the
advertisement will be placed in the outside edge on the right-hand side above the fold in
the newspaper.
To check the layout of advertisement, he will create a test layout and typeface pattern in
the space for advertisement. Then he will print this page first to check that one has got the
100% scale correct. He will measure the test layout pattern, and if it does not measure
correctly, he will check layout and typeface selection again.
John decide that the advertisement will come every Sunday in the newspaper for eight
consecutive Sundays to make it more effective.
Student must assume himself as John, assistant manager, The Herald Sun, and create an
advertisement for Lux fresh splash soap.

Scenario (For this assessment, you can choose any other organisation, which must be
approved by your assessor.)
Background of the company: Nivea is a German personal care brand that specialises in
skin and body care. It is owned by the Hamburg-based company Beiersdorf Global AG. The
company was founded on March 28, 1882, by pharmacist Paul Carl Beiersdorf. In 1890, it was
sold to Oscar Troplowitz. Troplowitz kept working with his scientific consultant Paul Gerson
Unna and the German chemist Isaac Lifschütz on a new skin care cream. In 1900, Lifschütz
developed a water-in-oil emulsion as a skin cream with Eucerit, the first stable emulsion of its
kind. This was the basis for Eucerin and, later, Nivea. Nivea comes from the Latin word
niveus/Nivea/niveum, meaning "snow-white".
Nivea soft cream: Nivea Soft is a highly effective, revitalising moisturising cream for everyday
use. The light formula is quickly absorbed and refreshes the skin. Our all-purpose cream:
o Rehydrates dry skin for face and/or body
o Treats dry hands
o Is suitable for the whole family
It contains Aqua, Glycerin, Paraffinum Liquidum, Myristyl Alcohol, Butylene Glycol, Alcohol
Denat., Stearic Acid, Myristyl Myristate, Cera Microcristallina, Glyceryl Stearate,
Hydrogenated Coco-Glycerides, Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil, Tocopheryl Acetate,
Lanolin Alcohol (Eucerit®), Polyglyceryl-2 Caprate, Dimethicone, Sodium Carbomer,
Phenoxyethanol, Linalool, Citronellol, Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone, Butylphenyl Methylpropional,
Limonene, Benzyl Alcohol, Benzyl Salicylate, Parfum.
Mark is the marketing manager for Nivea products in Australia. Mark want to advertise Nivea
soft cream on Roadside Billboards, Bus/ tram shelters and Mobile Billboards.
Greg organised a meeting with Mark to discuss about the creative idea of the
advertisement.
Task:
Student must assume himself/ herself as Greg and perform a role play on interpreting
creative brief for the advertisement. Trainer/ Assessor will act as Mark, the marketing
manager of Nivea. At the end of the role play, student will fill the template for outcomes of
discussion with customer.
1. Discuss and confirm creative idea of the advertisement with the customer.
2. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of various techniques used for expressing
the creative idea and confirm with customer which technique he wishes to use in
advertisement.
3. Confirm with customer about supporting information and discuss ways to check
advertising content for accuracy and completeness.
4. Discuss about the various time schedules for advertisement such as production
schedule.
5. Discuss about the estimated costs of producing and placing print advertisement and
the varying costs between different techniques.
6. Discuss various legal and ethical constraints to print media advertisement.
(Appendix-6)
Greg, Assistant manager of Alpha advertisers is going to create an advertisement for outdoor
forum of Nivea soft cream. Greg developed creative brief of the advertisement after
discussion with Mark and as per the template filled for outcomes of discussion.
Greg developed the advertising strategy for the Nivea soft cream and noted following in the
advertising strategy:
1. Primary purpose
2. Primary benefit
3. Secondary benefit
4. Target audience
5. Audience reaction
6. Company personality.
When designing the billboards, Greg, keep the following guidelines in mind:
1. Simple Layout – less is more – keep it simple. The most effective messages are always the
simplest. Billboard should be a clear and brief expression of one idea.
2. Short Copy – Use short simple words with quick and easy comprehension. Limit or
eliminate punctuation and edit down to the bare bones of your message. Rule of thumb: 7
words or less.

3. Viewing time – does your message communicate effectively within 5-10 seconds?
remember: target audience is travelling past your billboard at 65 miles per hour.
4. Large fonts and text – The goal is for people to read your message from as far away as
possible. Be sure the words are large and the type is clear and easy to read. Bold, straight
fonts work best. Avoid thin, ornate fonts. Sans Serif fonts work best. Adequate spacing
between letters, words and lines improves visibility. Drop shadows can help readability.
5. Contrasting Colors – High color contrast is the key to good readability. Colors that work
best: black, white and bold, primary colors like red, yellow and blue. Black text on yellow
rates the highest in readability. Colors to avoid: brown, earth tones, pastels.
6. Single Image – Use one large image to attract the reader’s eye to the billboard.
7. Simple Background – Use a simple background that does not interfere with your image,
copy or logo. Too much blank space isn’t a good thing. Blank space doesn’t translate well
from magazine ads to billboards. Use the blank space and make your fonts, image and logo
bigger.
8. Call to Action – Is the call to action clearly found in the ad? Does your target audience
have the necessary information to respond to your ad?
9. Balanced Logo – There has to be balance between the image and the logo. The logo is
typically not as big as the image. About 1/8 of the board size is a pretty good guideline for
the smallest the logo should be.
