Before you start creating your client’s banners, you need to understand who he is targeting and what he wants to achieve with his banners. Objectives may include the following: Generate brand awareness; product awareness; increased traffic to the website; generate leads; make a sale; register for an event
The audience the client wants to target is just as important as its goal. If you can understand their audience, you will be able to create ads that resonate with them. You will find below two ads from IT companies in the same market but targeting a different clientele.
Customization and localization

Words and images
Words and images go hand in hand. The image should still focus on the text and the text should further emphasize the image. During the communication phase of your project, ask your client what words he would like or would not like to mention in his ads. Some brands want to keep their status difficult to obtain and their luxury and avoid using words such as a discount, free, sale or backup. Some may not want you to use cartoon graphics or some animation effects, as this may damage their tape.
