Much consumer buying behaviour is created around marketing that is designed by commercial organisations to make consumers use or buy its products
and services. However, there is another category of marketing, usually not for profit, that typically encourages its target consumers to do something for
health reasons or for the general public good. The marketing will often be from a government department or public service organisation.
Find a newspaper, magazine or video advert from a government or public service organisation in Australia . This needs to be an official advert/commercial
that has been posted by the advertiser or a creative agency, on a website or in a magazine newspaper or other media. Please note that videos must be no
longer then 90 seconds. The advert/commercial must be presented and/or introduced on one page at the beginning of the report and appropriately
eferenced in Harvard AGPS format. This advert presentation/introduction will not be included on your word count. This assessment event is in two parts.

• Describes what problem the advertisement is trying to activate and how it is trying to activate this problem
