...Advertising Stew: Marketing Communication/312. Advertising Stew Strayer University Zakaria A. Hashim Marketing Communication/312. Instructor: Shirley McLaughlin May 7, 2013 Advertising Stew: Marketing Communication/312. Discuss three (3) reasons Luis should hire an external advertising agency for the Dinty Moore campaign: Dinty Moore has been around for 75 years as a beef stew company and the reason a company should reinvent itself or its’ product is the new age and market and the exposure to a younger and faster group of consumers. A few of the reasons why a company should hire an external company is “You don’t have the time or energy to do it yourself.” Just like other marketing functions, consistent, strategic, and measurable advertisement is something that needs to be planned for and executed over a long period of time. Advertisement is something that only gets stronger as you put more effort into it. Another reason is to “Maximize a Launch: Most businesses understand how crucial launching a new product or service is to the success of your business. Advertisement is much more than just writing a press release and putting it over a wire service. Having a advertisement firm who can maximize...

...Essay on Theoretical Understanding and Practical Application of Advertising and Promotion in Business By Sofia Lyondova "Advertising is the nonpersonal communication of information usually paid for and usually persuasive in nature about products, services or ideas by identified sponsors through the various media."(Bovee, 1992, p. 7) INTRODUCTION Information Technology (IT) has become a vital and integral part of every business plan and is changing every aspect of how people live their lives. IT is a driving factor in the process of globalization. Technology is now the forefront of the modern world creating new jobs, innovations, and networking sites to allow individuals to connect globally. It’s much easier to communicate with others than it was just decade ago. This has improved our lives in many ways by allowing us to become more interconnected and knowledgeable about the world. In nearly every corner of the world, we cannot walk down the street without seeing someone talking, texting, or surfing the Internet on their cell phones, laptops or tablet Pc’s. Ten years ago, the only way for people to communicate with each other was meeting face to face or writing letters. However, people living or working in different countries might be unable to meet each other. It cost more money for travelling and sending letters if people lived too far from others. Now days, we are happy with the advance of new technologies such as email, cellular phones, television, etc. Technology...

(2009), How current targeting can hinder targeting in the future and what to do about it, Journal of Database Marketing & Customer Strategy Management, 16(1) 15-28, Retrieved on October 2,2011 from Business Source Complete Database. Part 1: Synopsis of the article: This article discusses how current targeting of customers by a direct marketing firm can result in misleading models of customer response due to the truncation of observations for the customers who are not contacted, as well as the inevitable mis-specification of the explanatory variables in the models. The authors discuss the importance of adopting a diversity of different nations’ populations and, encourage advertisers to adopt their strategy by taking into consideration groups of consumers that were not traditionally targeted, such as cultural and sexual minorities. However, the article states that while such targeting has been favorably received among the targeted minorities, it has also engendered unfavorable reactions among majority members. Part 2: Analysis of article based on the course topic: This article is relevant to the course content because it focuses on the importance of determining relative concentration of a product's consumers in mass media audiences and the vital element in targeting, as it reflects consumer motivation.

...Sexual Connotation in the BK Ad Andrea Farias Sheridan College Over the course of many years, advertising agencies have been using various methods to advertise their products. Such methods can include repetition, claims, association, following what others do or even promotions. An advertisement agency in Singapore produced a Burger King ad that has a sexual connotation; the new “BK Super Seven Incher”. Burger King was always facing fierce competition with McDonald’s. This pushed Burger King to be desperate about their promotion of the new product in Singapore. However the use of the context for the advertisement has made it ineffective. It is quite clear that the new “BK Super Seven Incher” has used sexual connotation. Using the facial expression of the woman having her mouth agape, the use of a seven inch sandwich and the words “IT’LL BLOW YOUR MIND AWAY” create a fellatio connotation. This use of association does not appeal to the general audience. For the advertisement to be successful, it should not only appeal to hormonal teenagers and men, but to others. Parents with young children would most likely stray away from buying this product. Furthermore, it is a well-known fact that the eastern mindset is much less liberal with their sexuality. Consequently, Burger King risks having family oriented customers boycott their restaurant. The ad is neither family oriented nor friendly, and the sandwich does not look anything close to healthy. Another audience that this advertisement...

...Ajasiz Johnson American Intercontinental University Consumer Marketing MKT655 – Research Methods in Marketing June 23, 2013 Abstract Celebrities are often used by advertising agencies to endorse their products in an attempt to persuade the consumer to purchase their products. This paper discusses how celebrity endorsements tend to have an effect on consumers. Consumer Marketing Introduction Advertising obviously plays an essential role in the success or failure of a product. In some cases, using celebrity endorsers to promote products has been quite an effective campaign strategy for advertisers. Celebrity endorsed campaigns are created to sway the consumers and to promote a positive image. Research on Brand Endorser and Consumer Perception Since one of the key objectives of an advertising agency is to persuade customers to purchase the products they represent, an advertisement’s credibility plays an intricate part in heightening the sense of appeal to potential consumers. The enormous amount of money that is allotted for advertising budgets for celebrity endorsements indicate that they are vital in the “advertising world”. Pursuing a celebrity endorsement strategy enables advertisers to project a credible image in terms of expertise, persuasiveness, trustworthiness, and objectiveness (Till and Shimp 1998). Even though it may sound vain, when creating campaigns, advertisers also have to consider the attractiveness, physical appearance, personality, etc., of...

...After reviewing several of the personality tests and assessments, I was able to confirm what I already knew, but did gain some new insight into myself and why I am the way that I am, and that my personality can be great in some situations and very hard in other situations for people to deal with. I’m going to break it down according to the assignment assessment. 1.) What did the assessments tell me about myself? Attitude? Work? Behavior? Personality? Perception? Attitude: I’m sensible, the backbone of any group, and believe that work comes before play. This is truly me!! I’m the one that goes in early to work and stays late to make sure that things get done, and are done on time. People know that they can depend on me. I’m the person with sticky notes on my desk and computer, so that I remember that I need to do this at a certain time, or remind my boss of a particular appointment. They know they can count on me. Work: I’m a planner, well organized, and dependable. This too, fits me like a shoe! I’m the one that two weeks before a mass mailing will be ordering in extra labels, tape, and updating mailing lists. I like to have my envelopes ready, so that all I have to do is insert and tape. I look ahead and what is coming down the road and plan my work and time accordingly.

...Ad Agency Report Jodie L. Hebner Grantham University GSD&M was established in 1971 in Austin, TX by a group of men who did not want to leave the area after graduating from the University of Texas. Over the years the company has went through many ups and downs while embracing many challenges to become one of the top 30 advertising agencies in the United States.to include opening and operating a second location in Chicago, IL. GDS&M is owned by third largest advertising agency in the world, Omnicom Group. (Answers, n.d) The company has now grown to have over 500 employees who help the company promote many popular organizations to include Wal-Greens, the Air Force, AT&T, John Deere, and Campbell Soup. GSD&M has a different take on how ideas can be created for their customers. GSD&M uses four primary approaches to creating ideas. First off, GSD&M believes, “your butt’s connected to your brain” this is seen in the many “war rooms” that are used throughout GSD&M when creating new ads for their customers. “It turns out that thinking outside the box requires deep immersion in the here and now: where you sit determines what you think.” (Imperato, 1997) Employees can visit the Chili’s Grill & Bar war room, which is almost an exact replica giving the employees the needed information needed to come up with great ideas. The second item used to generate ideas is known as the thought “big ideas come from small groups”. “To grow big and yet think fast, GSD&M...

...ESSAY QUESTION Does advertising create artificial wants? Your answer should discuss John Kenneth Galbraith’s ‘dependence effect’ and F.A.Hayek’s response. Nowadays, the media’s power is indisputable and it is not accidental that it is called the fourth estate. That power represents the possibility to exert influence on people’s behavior. Nowadays one very hot and disputed issue is the advertisement effect on the consumers’ buying behavior. Well prepared campaign can influence consumer decisions and make them buy certain product. The modern world is a world of overproduction. We are surrounded by all kinds of goods- some urgent and some not so much. Certain goods are sold quickly while others remain on the shelves. Every company seeks to put on the market such a product that will grab the consumers’ attention, and make them feel incomplete if they do not have it. But among the abundance of goods, a product may remain unnoticed. That is why corporations rely heavily on advertising to sell their production. They have realized that not the quality of the product, but the advertising sells it. Advertising companies strive to convince the consumers that the product is extremely urgent and without it a person’s would be less happy than others who have it. There are different strategies that companies use in order to touch the consumers’ subconsciousness- they play with customers’ emotions, they rely on celebrities to advertise the goods, and they target the deceivable children...
