Advertising Research

Advertising is a form of communication between producers and consumers attained through marketing which persuades, encourages or manipulates the consumer to be drawn to a certain good or service in order to increase recognition and promote sales. In order to successfully promote a good or a service, sellers use advertising techniques that have had to be altered and improved over time as fashion, values and standards of living change. Advertising research and marketing research works to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of advertising and the most common advertising techniques focus on appealing to their targeted audience through appropriate persuasive language and visual elements. This paper will explore the evolution

What does an ad say about a society? When viewing a product advertisement, many people never stop to think why the ad and product appeals to them. However, when a more critical look is taken, it’s easy to see precisely how ads are carefully tailored to appeal to trending values of a targeted demographic, and how that makes it easy to examine the society of those whom the ad is targeted at. In the analytic writing Advertisements R Us, Melissa Rubin provides an excellent example of this, as she crafts a logical and clear analysis of a 1950’s Coca-Cola magazine ad which thoroughly explains how advertisements can reveal quite a great deal about the society in which they were created.

Perfume advertisements are made to illustrate an atmosphere and personality for a scent that you cannot smell. In the Daisy Trio by Marc Jacobs perfume advertisement femininity, purity, and youthfulness are used to create a persona for the classic daisy scent. In the airy meadows of the countryside on a sunny summer afternoon the director, Sofia Coppola illustrates the idea that being young is sexy and desirable through the elements included in the commercial. The clothing, makeup, body language, and camera techniques are used to sell the Daisy perfume, but also, youth and desire.

Every day we all pass hundreds of different advertisements. Advertisements are viewed in magazines, on the internet, on billboards, on display in stores, and even on the TV. These ads are used to gain attention and business to the company’s products. Businesses try to produce the most vibrant, eye catching, and even the most member able advertisements. Unconsciously we are lured to these ads and wanting the product. But what ad do most consumers lean towards? Ads can have a variety of techniques to sell similar products, like bright colors, excitement, serious topics, and empowerment.

In the Hunter/Gatherer section of Omnivore’s Dilemma, Pollan talks about what it takes to accomplish the task of developing a meal on his own; consequently, the people of today’s society are so used to the abundance of food that they have no idea what all is involved in establishing a full meal. Americans take this great abundance of food for granted, which causes an increased craving for more. This is where the world of advertisement has been the strongest. One of the easiest ways to reach people is through their food; therefore, major food industries try to lure people in at all costs just to buy their products. The Fast food industry is the

In today's world advertising is everywhere. Many people hate it because it annoys them or they believe that it is propaganda designed to manipulate people into buying a certain product. In reality advertising helps to pay for services, foster free trade and bring attention to good causes.

We are a society not just surrounded by marketing but immersed in it. We pass billboards as we drive, endure commercials as we watch television, scroll past ads on websites, and promote particular brands in our choice of clothing, cars, and home décor. The depth of analysis and research that goes into each ads design, placement, and medium should be considered. A billboard for “The Loosest Slots” is placed near the casino’s exit along the highway to entice drivers to stop and play. Commercials for toys are aired on children’s satellite and cable television channels specifically so the child knows what to request their parent’s buy them. Ads on websites are based on our previous search histories so the items we are being shown are items we are

Many people don’t know that years ago cigarettes were not only popular, but there were ad’s suggesting people to smoke. Between the 1930’s and 1950’s there were many doctors that approved cigarette ad’s. In some of the ad’s there would be women, and the slogan would say that you were taking in a breath of fresh air and that cigarettes made you skinny and beautiful. It wasn’t until the 1960’s that it was proven that cigarettes were unhealthy. When this happened doctors found out the real outcomes of cigarettes. They started putting out the opposite type of ad’s as they were previously aired. The imagery and meaning between a smoking ad in the 1940’s is very different than a recent ad that is seen in modern

The viewer will be analyzing a picture from 60 of the most powerful advertisements. The advertisements shows how the trash that we do not pick up off the ground, animals will munch on and later end up dying from all the trash inside their bodies. The advertisements shows a picture of a dead bird lying in the middle of the road. The bird is shown with trash off the roadways that people throw out when they are going down the road. The bird does not just find trash off the road, it is on the beaches, in bodies of water, it is everywhere. The advertisement that the view will see does not show bold, radiant, bright colors, the trash inside the bird has depressing, bitter, gloomy colors of black, whites and other various colors that are mournful. When the viewer thinks of litter, they do not think of color they should think of sad and depressing dark colors as in grey, black and white. The bird, and the trash inside the bird, is the focal point of this advertisement. Things inside the bird may include pop lids, plastic and tubes of some sort. The background behind the focal point is the road to show all the scum along the roadways that the bird has swallowed. This advertisement caught my attention for many reasons, although the first thing that caught my attention was the reason of not thinking about the excesses along roadways and how it would affect wild animals. The viewer should be thinking about was the way trash affects the community. Littering is a crime, although not

As a student of the College of Architecture Planning & Landscape Architecture (CAPLA), we are provided with numerous opportunities to attend sessions related to architecture that can further our knowledge about different topics related to this art form. However, it is very noticeable that few take advantage of these opportunities even when most of these events are free to attend. Because of this, it leads me to look at 2 different flyers from recent events to try to understand how these advertising materials work and how they try to convince and encourage people to attend the events that are being promoted. The first piece of advertisement is a flyer for a session about traditional Tucson crafts with a contemporary design. Lastly, I will investigate a flyer about women in sustainability and feminist organizations. To fully understand this writing genre, I will look for patterns in the strategies being used, the design of each flyer and the choices each designer made to make their product more appealing.

When an advertiser places one of their advertisements into a newspaper, they want their advertisement to appeal to the readers of that particular magazine. They could have the exact same message, but considering their audience, they could make it more effective if they use a different strategy to market their product. This is very common for advertising strategies to change when the content of the magazine changes. You can relate the way that the magazine producers choose their ads by when Steve Craig says that "…program producers and schedulers must consider the target audience needs of their clients" (162). The types of advertisements are driven by the content of the magazine. Sports Illustrated provides a
