- Who is the What Makes Advertising Work poster for?
- What Makes Advertising Work belongs to the Marketing section rather than to a school year, because business is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning advertising & creative can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.
- When should you use the What Makes Advertising Work poster?
- Distinctive, emotional, consistent and branded. The last one is skipped most often. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so What Makes Advertising Work belongs on the wall where that business work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.
- What other posters go with What Makes Advertising Work?
- What Advertising History Teaches, Setting the Budget and Measuring Advertising sit alongside What Makes Advertising Work in the Marketing section. Printed together they make a wall rather than a single sheet, which is how a reference set actually gets used.What Advertising History TeachesSetting the BudgetMeasuring Advertising

- What size does the What Makes Advertising Work poster print at?
- What Makes Advertising Work is a vector PDF laid out for US Letter, and prints on A4 with Fit to page — the same file, no separate download.

Colour carries emphasis only, so a greyscale print of What Makes Advertising Work loses nothing.Printing guide
