The three advertisement from the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) is effective for the intended audience because of their credibility and the information they provide in the advertisement. Looking at the arrangement of the page of the air pollution ad. , the first thing I noticed was the smoke filling up the air, immediately one would think that this advertisement was going to revolve around air pollution in general. In the commercial a person would not know what to expect but WWF showed that they did there research. The third advertisement in the billboard conveyed ethos by demonstrating all aspects of the living and how we could be part in making a difference.

Throughout this paper, I will be critiquing a popular Kia car commercial that debuted during the third quarter of Super Bowl LI last February. I will be describing how my media example implies theory and themes relating to the environment. Titled “2017 Kia Niro, Hero’s Journey Starring Melissa McCarthy,” this commercial is a great example of green marketing and how the media presents environmental themes on television. This commercial depicts an environmentally conscientious person and social actor, Melissa McCarthy, who drives an environmentally friendly and fuel efficient car, a hybrid Kia Niro. Throughout the commercial there is a recurring environmental theme where McCarthy receives calls to help save the endangered whales, trees, ice caps,

Fast changes in environmental market place such as social development (globalization and development of social networks), economic unsteadiness (crises), technological progress, fast growing competitive world and strict marketing regulatory directly affect work of most of marketing companies or marketing and brand image divisions of the companies.

Many consumers are often not aware that a large number of companies do not label everything they put

The Marketing process is made up of simple concepts that involve lots of research on the part of the marketer. The process begins with understanding the consumer, without knowing what consumers need or want, it would be extremely hard for firms to both develop and sell a product. Knowing that consumers want more green products due to growing environmental concerns is a very important detail. Needs and wants are what fuel consumer purchases and marketers must perform research in order to best serve their customers. Through this research, marketers are led to the next step of the process and can now develop a customer driven marketing strategy. Here, the firm must decide how it will differentiate its product from others on the market.

The Burt's Bee social responsibility strategies created a positive company image.

As competition has accelerated their entry into the market by purchasing green companies the positive social image becomes a greater concern. Consumers are inclined to pay a higher cost for green products that in turn produce greater profits.

In the reading “A Faint Green Sell: Advertising and the Natural World” by Corbett mentioned that companies use nature to appeal to everyone to buy their products. More and more company are being eco friendly in able to sell more products. They do this in able to appeal to customer thus present them in a positive way. For instance, most advertisement for the car brand Subaru most of their commercial is something to do with nature. It uses different scenario how it can go very well with nature.

This method convinces customers that this car brand will go along with nature. Subaru

Consumerism often causes people to identify with a product or brand on a personal level. Certain products have come to represent different levels of society, with swankier products like muscle cars indicating high class and such products as generic “store brand” shampoo indicating low class. People feel that they have relationships with their favorite brands and products and define themselves by what they buy and own. The mass production of cheap products uses precious fossil fuels at an alarming rate. This has an obvious negative impact on the environment.

On occasion, companies print labels on their products that are ambiguous to the environmental practices of the company; this is called Greenwashing. The authors of “The Seven Sins of Greenwashing” not only claims that there are seven sins that go hand in hand with greenwashing, but also breaks them down and explains them simply. Two of these seven sins stuck out to me the most. The Sin of Vagueness which is defined by the authors as being “committed by every claim that is so poorly defined or broad that its real meaning is likely to be misunderstood by the customer.”1 Certain product company 's use labels that claim their products as 'All Natural ', and 'Eco-friendly ' However, claiming a product is all natural does not always mean that it is green or safe to use. A few examples of all natural ingredients: Arseic, Uranium, Mercury and Formaldehyde.2

Dannon following the Corporate Social Responsibility program will help blend products naturally and the message will be consistent which will increase confidence in Dannon products. The risk with corporate and local level Corporate Social Responsibility communication program is measurability, impact and calculation of return of investment.

The first point in the article is that if there is the word organic or fair trade on the product it affects how healthy a person perceives the product to be. I agree with this point because I am one of those people, I am more likely to buy a product if it has organic or fair trade on the label because I assume it is healthier. When I see this on the label I think low fat or low calories. However, there are other factors that can influence the likely hood of a person choosing a product and thinking it is healthy, like emoticons. A person is more likely to avoid a product if there is a unhappy face emoticon on the label(Vasiljevic et al. 7). The second point is that people are more likely to think a product has higher calories or lower calories depending on whether a company treats its employees fairly or not. To me this point depends on how informed the person is about products and companies. Many people are not really informed about how companies treat their employees, especially when companies only allow the public to see what they want us to see. The study was only conducted on people who had strong ethical food values but what about people who do not have strong ethical food values. That is why labels are so important it determines if a person perceives the product as unhealthy or healthy, but as discussed in class even food labels can be

In today’s day and age, everyone is concerned about the environment. Our society is increasingly encouraged to “go green,” to do our part in making the world a cleaner, more eco-friendly place. Green marketing is one major strategy being used to promote such efforts, but is it effective? There is some debate about this concept, including the history of green marketing, the problems with green marketing so far, the effectiveness of marketing schemes like Sunchips and Toyota, and the strategies that could be used to increase the ability of green marketing. While protecting our planet is a noble concept, its execution seems to be a little vague. Of all the aspects concerning green marketing, one thing is clear: our planet still has a long
