According to this material, the first component of the AIDA model is ______.

• A. Awareness
• B. Attention
• C. Interest
• D. Action

Answer: (A)

The first component is awareness—the idea is to ensure the target audience knows that the product or brand exists. Without awareness, there’s nothing for people to pay attention to, so you can’t begin the process of capturing interest or driving action. Once people are aware, you can move to grabbing their attention, then generating interest, followed by desire, and finally taking action. In this material’s version of the sequence, awareness starts things off because it establishes that the brand exists and is relevant to the audience. Attention comes next, since you must first be known before you can capture focus; interest follows once you’ve captured attention, and action is the end result.
