Answer to Question 1
The international sponsor (sender) encodes the message into words and images. The message is then translated into the language of the target market and transmitted through a channel of communication (medium) to the target market (receiver). The medium could be nonpersonal (print, broadcast and interactive media) or personal (sales people, telemarketers, etc.). The international consumer (receiver) receives the message and decodes it into meaning. Noise, defined as all the potential interference in the communication process, could interfere with the proper message reception. The sponsor collects and relies on information regarding the effectiveness of the message (feedback) to evaluate the success of the promotional campaign.
