According to the MECCAS model, the end-level focus of an advertising style is known as what?

  1. Driving force

  2. Media mix

  3. Objectives

  4. Leverage point

The correct answer is: Driving force

In the context of the MECCAS (Means-End Conceptualization of Attributes) model, the end-level focus of an advertising style refers to the ultimate goal or driving force behind the advertising effort. This driving force encompasses the core values or deep-seated motivations that the advertising aims to address in the consumer’s mind. The MECCAS model emphasizes the connection between specific product attributes and the personal values of consumers, illustrating how attributes can lead to desired outcomes or emotional responses. By identifying the driving force, marketers can create effective messaging that resonates on these deeper levels, ultimately leading to a stronger emotional connection between the brand and the consumer. The other options do not accurately represent the end-level focus in the MECCAS model. The media mix pertains to the channels through which advertising is delivered and is not related to consumer motivations. Objectives define what marketers hope to achieve through advertising but do not specify the underlying reasons for consumer engagement. The leverage point refers to specific points in advertising where strategic emphasis can maximize impact but does not directly indicate the ultimate end-level focus.
