Advertising Of The Ad Agency Model

The average United States Citizen views about 5000 advertisements a day (Johnson). Advertising is everywhere. Billboards on the way to work, ads on the internet, and paper products such as magazines or newspapers display a sale or a promotion of a good or service. Usually, the ad will give a brand or company name, and uses the product’s merits to draw the consumer closer. This has grown exponentially as advertisements in media in 1970 were estimated to be 500 a day, a ten percent increase in the last 48 years. (Johnson). This is due to the rise of technology, as the computer has become a household gadget within the new millenium. These advertisements are meant to give a synopsis of the product or service’s purpose, quality, and efficiency. If a consumer views 5000 advertisements in a single day and assuming the commercials do not repeat, 5000 goods or services are introduced. With more options to choose from in such little time, the consumer has a harder time differentiating the quality and perhaps necessity of the product. The marketers rely on the quick, impulsive decision making of consumers. With the misleading nature of many infomercials or radio broadcasts, the people of American society are bombarded with constant propaganda, thus making seemingly harmless promotions more potent to filling industries’ pockets and lessening the common population’s

Throughout history, advertising has played a significant role in consumerism, politics, and much more. By the 1920’s it had developed into a major aspect of daily life for Americans, determining everything from their hygiene habits to their meals. Despite this having been almost one-hundred years ago, there are many similarities, but also many differences in the advertising industry today.

The competitive nature of business resulted in the imaginative use of advertisements. They could incorporate items, events and people that resonated well with their target market to boost sales. This led to the rethink and expansion of the advertising industry. It now consists of the businesses that need to advertise, agencies that create them; involving visualizes, designers, production managers, researchers and actors, and the media that transmits the adverts. A sizeable portion of many businesses’ funds is

It's September, Football season already started. By the time Super Bowl comes,there are going to be hundreds of new ads in the TV. Every Time we turn on our tv or watch youtube videos we always end up seeing ads about variety of things; from Cars, watches, clothes, perfume to household materials. Does these ads really promote what they want to sell or something else? Unfortunately yes, ads sell more than the great deals of products. They sell value, success, popularity, love and sexuality but most importantly they influence us in everyday’s life.

The naked brand documentary highlights the fact that advertising can be more than a company selling its product to the consumer, but a way to connect with the consumer to deliver exactly what they want while still making profits.

Advertising techniques have changed and along with it, the impact they have on each individual’s mind. While there are some similarities between the different kinds of advertisements we see today, there are also many differences. Advertising has also become more unethical than it was in, let’s say, the 50s. Not all advertisements are brainless; there are a few that are even creative and fun and just pull the target audience in by

Excerpts from Chapter 12 of How to get the best advertising from your agency by Nancy Salz.

Advertising has been defined as the most powerful, persuasive, and manipulative tool that firms have to control consumers all over the world. It is a form of communication that typically attempts to persuade potential customers to purchase or to consume more of a particular brand of product or service. Its impacts created on the society throughout the years has been amazing, especially in this technology age. Influencing people’s habits, creating false needs, distorting the values and priorities of our society with sexism and feminism, advertising has become a poison snake ready to hunt his prey. However, on the other hand, advertising has had a positive effect as a help of the economy and society.

Advertising has had a major impact on society. Some may be considered positive and some negative. Take a look around, advertisements are placed everywhere, television commercials, billboards, newspapers, and even on the sides of buses. Advertising is the basic form of marketing and trading throughout the world. Today’s society knows it as marketers trying to influence or persuade consumers into buying something. It also serves as a medium for services and businesses. There are many advertising strategies, but television commercials will always remain the number one strategy. Think about it, how much television is watched a day, probably a lot. What better way to advertise a product or service? Advertising has a positive effect on our economy. It does not only influence and persuade consumers, but it also benefits them in many ways. It also benefits manufacturers and their company, and the world as a whole.

Advertising has always been an important part of our society. The history of advertising can be traced to pre-modern history when it served an important purpose by allowing sellers to effectively compete with other merchants for the attention of clients in Ancient Egypt. From 1704 when the first newspaper advertisement was announced, it gradually grows into a major force in American society based primarily on newspapers and magazines (Ad Age Advertising Century, 1999). It not only helps to raise the target demographics’ awareness of issues, but also educate consumers with the benefits of the product. However, advertising cannot target a particular person before the emerging of World Wide Web.

Over the last decade, the South African advertising agency landscape has seen a massive shift from full service agencies, offering 360 degree brand solutions, fragmenting into smaller niche agencies specializing into either design, digital, creative, public relations, strategy, research, media planning and buying among others. The industry has grown to realize that communication messages need to be driven by research and insights, understanding the psyche of South Africa’s diverse population, no longer just pushing out glitzy TV commercials to the masses, but rather developing strategically planned integrated marketing campaigns reaching an intended audience, ultimately receiving return on investment (Lodge, 2011).

“Advertising is far from impotent or harmless; it is not a mere mirror image. Its power is real, and on the brink of a great increase. Not the power to brainwash overnight, but the power to create subtle and

Acceleration Media CEO Tony Sousa claims the world of media is changing at an unprecedented rate as technology disrupts the established business models for publishing and advertising, as consumers change the way in which they consume information, services and entertainment (Sousa, 2013). Mass media advertising as we know it today is perishing. Advertising agencies have had to restructure their advertising models to accommodate a harsher advertising climate. This forces brands to formulate effective ways to reach their customers. The main factor contributing to traditional advertisings’ impending demise is the invention of new forms of technology, namely the internet. The creation of the internet has resulted in the fragmentation of media and markets. Media fragmentation is the breaking up of large audiences into smaller audience fragments due to the increase of media choices available (Tuten, 2008). Advertising has to spread further, covering a multitude of channels to gain the same exposure (Rust & Oliver, 1994). Media platforms provide endless benefits,
