5. Identifying the purpose To inform To educate To entertain To inspire To persuade What is the advert for? The purpose of the radio advert is to encourage recycling. The aim of the clip is to get the attention of the target audience and explain why people should recycle and to get them thinking about what might happen if we don’t. It is also to give facts about waste and recycling.

6. Identifying the audience Audience just means whoever your publication / system is aimed at This could be: Children Adults Teenagers Older people Different types of people like different things Always ask yourself… Who is my audience? What do they like? Who is the advert for? The audience of the radio advert is all adults; male and female, younger and older adults. It should also appeal to elderly people and I hope to capture the attention of teenagers. It can be aimed at so many different types of people because all people could be interested in recycling and because the consequences of not recycling will affect everyone.
