Reflection and Recap: Positioning in Advertising

Objective

The purpose of this lesson part is to encourage students to reflect on their understanding of positioning in advertising by synthesizing their knowledge through creative activities. This engagement will enhance their grasp of the topic while fostering critical thinking and collaboration.

Activity: Positioning Carousel

Overview

The "Positioning Carousel" is an interactive group activity where students will work in teams to showcase their comprehension of advertising positioning. Each team will explore different advertising campaigns and analyze how they effectively position their products or services in the market. This activity allows for hands-on reflection and recap of the central concepts discussed throughout the lesson.

Instructions

1. Preparation (15 minutes)

   • Divide the class into small groups of 4-5 students.
   • Provide each group with a selection of advertising campaigns (these can be printed ads, video clips, or links to online ads).
   • Give groups a brief overview of the four main positioning strategies:
     • Positioning by Product Attributes
     • Positioning by Benefits
     • Positioning by Usage Occasion
     • Positioning by User Persona

2. Analyze and Discuss (30 minutes)

   • Assign each group a different advertising campaign to analyze.
   • Ask them to identify the key positioning strategy used in the campaign and discuss:
     • How effectively the ad communicates its message.
     • The target audience and their potential response.
     • The overall effectiveness of the advertising approach.
   • Each group should prepare a brief presentation that summarizes their findings in a creative format (poster, digital slide, etc.).

3. Carousel Presentations (30 minutes)

   • Set up stations around the classroom, one for each group to display their findings.
   • Each group will rotate around the stations, spending about 5 minutes at each one.
   • During rotations, students should take notes on the different strategies used in other campaigns they observe.
   • After the presentation time, allow a few minutes for questions and clarifications for each station.

4. Group Reflection (15 minutes)

   • Back in their original groups, have students discuss their insights and notes gathered from the carousel.
   • Prompt them with reflection questions:
     • Which positioning strategy did you find most compelling, and why?
     • How might the effectiveness of a position change based on the target audience?
     • Can you think of a campaign that successfully repositioned itself in response to market changes?
   • Each group should prepare a brief summary to share with the class.

5. Class Discussion (10 minutes)

   • Bring the class back together and invite groups to share one discovery from their reflections.
   • Facilitate a discussion that connects their findings with broader concepts of positioning in advertising and its real-world applications.

Conclusion

The Positioning Carousel not only reinforces students’ understanding of advertising concepts but also cultivates their analytical and collaboration skills. This hands-on approach to reflection and recap makes the learning process dynamic and engaging, prompting students to think critically about the power of positioning in marketing and its implications for businesses in the real world.
