Besides just being seen in typical shopping outlets, The North Face advertises its brand in many of the traditional ways. “The company advertises in consumer and trade publications, on national and local radio, on Internet and recently on television. It also participates in cooperative advertising on a shared cost base with major retailers and print media, radio, Internet and television. To cultivate its brand image, North Face sponsors various mountaineering expeditions and other special events, as well as sponsoring a number of athletes and other personalities (Grace, Estrada, & Kirubanandan, 2011).

Advertising plays a huge role in why people buy what they buy. This paper will discuss the different techniques used by brands in order to appeal to the intended group they are targeting. Some brands try to appeal to the most amount of people possible. However, some brands have a specific niche of people they try to appeal to. McDonalds is an example of a brand that tries to appeal to everyone. It has a general message that everyone can get behind, and they market it correctly. This is why they are one of the biggest brands in existence. However, Gymshark is a brand that tries to appeal to a specific niche of people. Their goal is to be the next Nike. They try to appeal to athletic people, who workout very often. Their products are similar to Nike, but they are specifically

Entertainment is the most addicting form of media that people enjoy viewing on their free time. Some people find entertainment to be either good or bad, depending on what the individual believes to be appropriate to watch. Most people derive amusement, fun, pleasure, and relaxation from the movies and TV shows we see in our daily lives. Whether it is a movie trailer we watch or an advertisement on TV or the way the companies market the material, the material overall can be encapsulating and attracting toward consumers. In most cases, the materials we watch can leave us feeling a certain way throughout the course of the day. As technology increases, the need for consumers increases from the wide majority of the publicity materials that are being

Evansville Police say body camera video proves one of its officers did not act improperly during a traffic stop. It stems from an incident in August that involved former city councilwoman Stephanie Brinkerhoff-Riley.

The ski industry has historically been creative in its marketing ventures, which include glossy, full-page magazine ads and full length films that are released at the beginning of each season. The films and ads display the best pro skiers in the best new gear, and serve as effective marketing tools. In recent years, a new form of advertising has helped the industry reach a large demographic almost instantly; social media. The ability to use social media allows companies to share their online advertising content with everyone who is on that social media network, allowing access to millions of people with just a few clicks. As a result, video marketing is becoming an increasingly popular method of advertising for everyone in the ski industry, from small start-up companies to the worlds largest and most popular ski resorts. Also, the invention of the GoPro, the most popular and advanced handheld camera out, has enhanced the online marketing aspect of the industry. This camera is waterproof and impact proof, can fit in the palm of hand and can be mounted or fixed to almost anything. Stemming from technological advancements in the film industry, and social media, video marketing and its promotions have become a successful asset to the ski industry.

Recently, 4K video has exploded onto the scene of affordable consumer cameras. The GoPro Hero 4 and iPhone 6s are just two examples of consumer level devices that are capable of recording 4K video. At first glance this technological advancement seems like the perfect solution to videographers who need high-resolution video, but cannot afford a cinematic camera. However, this technology is so new, there has yet to be a comparison between the various levels of devices capable of recording 4K-resolution video. Referring back to my problem statement, the goal of this method is to determine if the GoPro Hero 4 and iPhone 6s are a suitable alternative to a 4K video camcorder. The following is a list of steps taken in order to determine the effectiveness of these two devices.

In today’s market of technology and visual stimulation it becomes more and more important for advertising campaigns to stand out and be innovative, and it is this idea that drove one Canadian beer company to do something that had never been done before. In light of waning interest, Kokanee, owned by the Labatt Brewing Company, enlisted the help of Toronto based Grip advertising agency to (with its entire yearly marketing budget) create something really big for there next campaign. Grip’s innovative response to this challenge was to do something completely new and create an ad in the form of a full-length feature film, which they would call: “The Movie Out Here”

In today’s time we come across a vast amount of advertising using various forms such as outdoor billboards, print advertisements, TV commercials and online advertisements. Advertising is a very common means of getting customers to see one’s message, brand and product. However, it is apparent that advertising is intentionally deceptive in the sense that it tries to prey on one’s weaknesses as a human being. For example, beer commercials constantly use sex appeal with attractive women to charm men and perfume commercials use the idea that their product will bring women the love that they have so long desired. Likewise in the Nike advertisement featuring Serena Williams, the advertisers use vivid visual elements to convey the idea that Nike products will make the consumer popular, athletic, beautiful, skilled, talented, hardworking and ultimately successful. This definition of Nike is achieved through the use of the famous athlete, the words of the ad, her facial expression, her stance and the background scenery.

Throughout these four pieces there is countless things that are evident and seem to be expected that we, as writers, know how to implicate. All of the writings had a story, something personal and meaningful to the writer that they thought was something they needed to share. They all were personal to some level, some more than others, and most of them taught a lesson. That being said, they all flowed smoothly from one topic to another, making it easy to read and enjoyable. They also had exquisite choices in words, they excluded weak verbs and had precise punctuation.

In its decade of existence, the GoPro doubled in sales every year to become the number one best-selling camera in the world (Hockenson).

It is for this reason that the company aligns itself with the young male - fast paced and energetic, interested in extreme sports, risky behaviour and never satisfied with the last thrill. The company too, is never satisfied, continuing sponsorship of extreme sports, owning Formula 1 racing teams and even developing its own sports such as BMX bike riding, Kite Boarding, Freeskiing, paragliding and more!

Secondly, another challenge is to increase brand awareness and connect Decathlon China with its customers. To begin, we can see that no efforts are done to bring consumers to the Decathlon’s official website. As a result, Decathlon China should use specific online forums about sports, where people usually tell their purchasing experiences, ask questions, etc. and where Decathlon China could use banners to be visible and attractive. Decathlon China could also hire an employee who will be charged to share its “purchasing experiences at Decathlon China”, so as to convince people to have a closer look at Decathlon China when they are looking for sporting goods. In the same time, we can see that the competition is highly using social media to connect with their customers. Accordingly, Decathlon China should create a company fan page on Chinese local social media, and more specifically, Renren and Sina Weibo, as its target audience usually hang out on these social media. The Decathlon fan page should inform potential consumers, bring them to the official website, but also allow consumers to interact, ask questions directly to Decathlon. As a consequence, Decathlon China should also hire few employees to update its fan page frequently and answer very quickly to the questions of potential consumers to show their reactivity.

Initially, the company distributed free cases to college students across the country in an attempt to get their product in the hands of its consumers. This campaign became very successful and rapid proliferation of sales became the norm. The company continued to tailor their advertising to appeal to their target audience by sponsoring extreme sports, events, teams, and athletes. They sponsor athletes in the BMX, skiing, rally car, MLS Soccer, and many other sports industries (Red Bull). By sponsoring athletes such as Travis Pastrana and Shaun White, their “double bull” logo is never out of the spotlight, and constantly seen by the consumer.
