RESEARCH FOLDER 1 : Secondary research into your brands

To help select and plan an effective television advert , you will be completing various types of research into the possible  products, brands ,  audiences and content  of your television advertisement and keeping it in a Research Folder. 




The first section in your research folder is Secondary research (existing  facts and opinions ) and for this assignment will be  about your chosen brands for both product ideas.


 You need to search through a range of reliable sources ( online newspapers, charity websites etc.) and select relevant factual information ( statistics , dates, technical specifications, sales figures ) and opinions ( online comments ,  newspaper articles, blogs etc.) about both  your chosen brands ( or nearest rivals) that will add valuable content and meaning to the selection and planning of your advertisements.

 (If your brands are  original ,  you will need to research facts and opinions about a similar brand that you may be in competition with.)


You should find at least six different resources in total , and they should include both facts and opinions. You should not use wikipedia as it is not a reliable or accepted source of research.


Print out the resources, highlight/underline  the key information or quotes  and keep them in your  research folder.
