MINI USA
After working together for almost five years, MINI USA’s advertising agency, Scheid, Roberts, and Reicher (SRR) decided to resign the MINI account in order to pursue a larger account with Volkswagen. MINI USA had developed a significant successful client-advertising agency relationship with SRR since the launch of MINI Cooper in USA, and MINI’s advertising had been highly unconventional. For Trudy Hardy, marketing manager for MINI USA, the first challenge was starting over and finding a new but unique advertising agency before the end of the year.

Also, MINI could change the service any time. From the cost’s perspective, the first choice would cost less than any other options. Developing its own in-house marketing department or raising the compensation to get SRR back will case a significant high cost for MINI USA.

The commercial generally tries to portray minion’s dominance in the platform of snacks by using different groups who have embraced its consumption in the society and its influences in the consumption of different complementary drinks.

Thusly, it makes sense that the automobile advertisements changed at the same rate as the industry. Automobile advertisements changed drastically in the early 1900s in order to keep up with the new roles of cars, to cater to different audiences, and to stay current with new technology.

An advertisement is a paid notice that tells people about a product or service (“Advertisement”). One of the biggest platforms, on TV, for advertising is the Super Bowl. To get an advertisement to be broadcasted during the Super Bowl is very expensive. Super Bowl XLVII and Super Bowl XLVIII cost on average four million dollars for only thirty seconds of airtime (Schwartz).
