...highly controversial and sexist advertisement began permeating the internet. Reebok, an athletic footwear and apparel company, had released an advertisement simply stating, “Cheat on your girlfriend, not on your workout,” with a glimpse of a man in (presumably) Reebok fitness attire. Though the campaign was supposedly limited to a gym partner of Reebok located in Germany, it has made its way around the world with the help of social media. Three years later, this phrase is seen on t-shirts and around the internet, reminding everyone of the costly, offensive mistake made by the company. It is easy to assume that this advertisement is specifically targeting men, as the use of the term “girlfriend” paired with the image of a man in the ad, as well as the heteronormativity of the media, implies a heterosexual relationship. With this implication in mind, the message Reebok is trying to convey becomes one that offends both genders. This message being portrayed through this campaign...

...mere inches in front of the just-stopped vehicle, we see a line of animals staring in awe and fascination at what just transpired. If not for the Michelin Man and his brand new HydroEdge Tires, our furry friends would have been goners. The HydroEdge, the advertisement brags, stops up to fourteen feet shorter in the rain, lasts up to 33,000 miles, and is number one in fuel efficiency; all seemingly great qualities to have in a tire. Looking more closely at the picture accompanying the ad we see a dreary selection of colors bringing life to the stylized cartoon world. A more in-depth examination of the near-road kill reveals a group of semi-anthropomorphic life forms that more closely resemble characters out of a Disney or Harry Potter movie than they do anything in the wild. Perhaps of most interest is the Michelin Man himself, and what exactly he is doing to the automobile to get it to stop in time. Considering the elements here, we can draw a fair conclusion that Michelin is not only advertising a great new set of tires, but voicing their firm support for all things magic and occult. Having been printed in a recent June issue of Sports Illustrated, one is left to wonder the audience of this particular advertisement. The picture has more the look of a Pixar movie poster than anything aimed at selling tires to adults. With a probably larger adult male readership, one could presume that perhaps the target here would be fathers that watch similar cartoons with their children;...

This revolutionary system allowed consumers to be fully in control of their media consumption- something never offered before. TiVo to Consumers To TiVo consumers, the ability to control what they wanted when they wanted was a revolutionary way to watch TV. TiVo held many distinct features that made the television experience unique to their consumers. The electronic program guide (EPG) was the user’s interface with the device that let them find out which shows to watch. EPG allowed access to previews for shows that could be scheduled for recording, a video magazine, a set of network showcases, and an on-screen TV guide. Another popular feature was the season pass that allowed users to specify their favourite show so that TiVo would automatically record all the episodes. Consumers also had the option to thumbs up or thumbs down certain shows so subsequently, TiVo could suggest TV programs that may interest them, further enhancing the individual personalization...

...Every year, the US spends over $2 million on alcohol advertisement (……). With this amount of money, it is no surprise that alcohol is part of our daily culture. It is almost impossible to go through a day and not see a poster, a commercial, or some form of advertisement that directly relates to alcohol. Of the advertisements that we see daily, alcohol is portrayed as a positive, stimulating, and enhancing substance. Children, which are still in the process of growing, developing, and trying to figure out who they are, can easily become victims to such ideas. This is why it is important to properly introduce the topic of alcohol early on. If alcohol was to be taught in elementary, children can be factually introduced into this topic and learn how to make rational choices in the future. In 2008, a study in television, revealed that alcohol “advertising reached 89% of youth under the legal drinking age (i.e., ages 12 to 20) an average of 436 times” (Jernigan 2010). This indicates how easily and frequently the youth can be...

...Background Fourteen months into its launch, a new technology that enables households to record and play back their favorite shows had only sold a few thousands units. This new technology was TiVo and it should have been a hit. It was founded in 1997 by Jim Barton and Michael Ramsay. Lagging TiVo Sales in Early 2000 Sales of TiVo’s digital video recorder (“DVR”) lagged in sales in early 2000 due to lack of retail execution, improper pricing, and lack of awareness. Lack of Retail Execution Marketing for TiVo’s DVR at the point of purchase failed in early 2000 because its product: * required extensive explanation and physical store demonstrations, * the manufacturer representatives did not give the amount of support required to market the product, * distribution partners did not have a proper appreciation for its sense of urgency, and * 50% turnover in electronic stores’ sales force made training a challenge. For example, inadequately trained sales employees pitched TiVo as a “high-end” VCR while the press called it, in part, a personal video recorder (PVR), personal digital recorder (PDR), and intelligent video recorder (IVR) collectively resulting in consumer confusion of the product. Improper Pricing Initial pricing for the product was around $1000 USD which TiVo reasoned was reasonable for those early adopters of the DVR technology. However, the price point was twice as much as most satellite systems and more expensive than most television sets. Without...

Years later Lazarus inherited the supermarket presentation for his store, this allowed customers to fully examine and search out products on their own accord.
