The following is taken from a memo from the advertising director of the Super Screen Movie Production Company.
"According to a recent report from our marketing department, during the past year, fewer people attended Super Screen-produced movies than in any other year. And yet the percentage of positive reviews by movie reviewers about specific Super Screen movies actually increased during the past year. Clearly, the contents of these reviews are not reaching enough of our prospective viewers. Thus, the problem lies not with the quality of our movies but with the public's lack of awareness that movies of good quality are available. Super Screen should therefore allocate a greater share of its budget next year to reaching the public through advertising."
Write a response in which you discuss what questions would need to be answered in order to decide whether the recommendation and the argument on which it is based are reasonable. Be sure to explain how the answers to these questions would help to evaluate the recommendation.
The advertising director of the Super Screen Movie production company believes that increasing the
amount of advertising the company does will in crease the amount of people attending Super Screen
produced movies. He believes this because during the past year fewer people than ever before
attended Super Screen produced movies, yet the percentage of positive reviews about specific
Super Screen produced movies increased over the past year. Ostensibly the extra advertising would
tout the good reviews writ ten about Super Screen movies. Before this plan is implemented, however,
Super Screen needs to address some questions about its possible flaws.
First of all, the company needs to ask what the actual number of people attending its movies as
compared to the movies of other production companies is. The number of people going to movies may
have been in universal decline. If this is the case and more people are going to see Super Screen
Movies than the movies of any other production company, advertising about how fun it is to go to
the movie theater may do more to boost Super Screen viewership than advertising promoting its own
good reviews. Secondly, the company needs to ask what the actual original number of positive
reviews was. If Super Screen movies recieved 1% positive reviews last year and this year they
recieved 2% positive reviews, getting that message to viewers is not going to increase Super Screen
attendence. Making better movies would be much more likely to increase attendence rates.
Finally, Super Screen needs to ask what the relationship is between its viewers and the movie
reviewers cited in the memo. Using a survey distributed to its target audience, Super Screen could
determine if movie reviews have an effect on their audience’s decision to go see a movie, whether
movie reviewers tended to have the same taste as the target audience and exactly whether or not
movie reviews are reaching the audience. Super Screen also needs to consider how its movie choices
have affected the separate movie reviewer and audience populations. If the studio has switched from
making mega blockbuster action movies to more nuanced dramas, the general public may be less
willing to go see their movies even though movie critics prefer the dramas to the action
movies.
Finally the studio must ask whether the percentage of positive reviews is really a relevant way to
measure the potential impact of movie reviews. There are dozens of movie reviewers but when
deciding whether to not to go to a movie, the general public will usually pick from among the 10
most popular movie reviews. These are the reviews that will impress the public if they are included
in advertising. If the most popular movie reviewers disliked Super Screen movies that a larger
number of small time film bloggers reviewed positively, Super Screen needs to think of a new
advertising strategy.
In conclusion, there are many questions Super Screen needs to answer before using this
advertising director’s plan. They need to look carefully at actual numbers, both of viewership and of
positive reviews. The also need to identify the relationship that their target audience has with
movie reviewers and determine how their target audience feels about their movies. Fianlly they
need to take a nuanced look at the movie reviews that they use in their advertising.
