...How has Dove’s Marketing Campaign “Real Beauty” affected how women perceive themselves compared to celebrity women in the media today? Business Research Methods UO5115C Hemis Number: 440759 Degree: Marketing BA (Hons) Seminar Tutor: Kajal Sharma Title How has Dove’s Marketing Campaign “Real Beauty” affected how women perceive themselves compared to celebrity women in the media today? Research Statement The aim of this research is to investigate how women feel about themselves and their body images since Dove’s marketing campaign “Real Beauty”. Women in the media are perceived a certain way and since the marketing campaign have ordinary women changed their opinions on how they see celebrities. Rationale and Research Questions 81% of women in the United States agree that “…the media and advertising set an unrealistic standard of beauty that most women can never achieve”. Body confidence has been a serious issue with women due to how women celebrities look in magazines.

The marketing mix is the set of controllable marketing variables which the company mixtures to produce the reply it wants in the target market. There are four variables of the marketing mix: price, product, promotion, and place. The Product strategy defines the tactical resolution and details of the product; The Price strategy defines the tactical purpose and details of the pricing; The Promotion strategy describes the tactical purpose and details of advertising and communicating the product to rich its target audience; and the Place strategy describes the tactical purpose and details of hoe the product/service will be distributed (eBook). 2) The marketing managers can control the four P’s of the marketing mix.
