What is Advertising Message?

The underlying message or point that the customer should get upon seeing the ad is called the advertising message.

The Value Proposition – This component includes the basic value proposition offered to the consumer. This forms the main part of the advertising message.


The Tagline / Catchphrase – Every good ad campaign has a tagline, slogan or catchphrase that is repeated across all the different media in order to place firmly the product in the consumer’s mind.
