Case study 2: Crazy Al’s advertisement

Along with theatre, film, television, museum/exhibitions and events there are similar jobs and workplace environments found in advertising.

It is not unusual for jobs in one industry to overlap into another and the entertainment industry is no exception. In advertising staff follow the process of working with the client to produce a product that is marketed to a target audience. From administration, design, pre-production through to production and post-production services, similar jobs appear but with a different product and audience focus.

The process involves the same effective communication skills and the ability to work with others in the workplace.
