Abstract
This study examines how advertising practitioners set campaign objectives. Four years of advertising and marketing communication campaign data were analysed from 59 award winning case studies. Difference emphases were found between advertising and marketing communication campaigns with informational and output objectives much more common in marketing communication campaigns, and attitudinal and output objectives being the least common in advertising campaigns. The majority of objectives, particularly in advertising campaigns, failed to meet the important tests of measurability and time specificity, and practitioners frequently included multiple outcomes within one objective, thereby complicating evaluation efforts.
