...advertisingpretesting The use of negative emotions in advertising Chuck Young, Ameritest, argues that the most effective ads are those that exploit the negative emotions of the consumer to drive advertising impact M ANY ADVERTISERS ARE wary of creating ads that evoke negative emotions in consumers, for fear of creating negative associations with their brand. This is not surprising, since the mental processes involved in transferring emotions generated by advertising to the emotional equity of a brand are not understood: playing with the dark force can be risky. I remember one of the first copy tests we conducted for IBM. Ogilvy had created ‘Blue Letterbox’ TV executions; however, this one had an unusual twist. The commercial had a dark storyline about hackers breaking into a company’s accounting systems and emailing sensitive payroll information to the entire company, but the story ended on a promise that IBM software would keep your systems secure. There was a debate at the highest level about this. Lou Gerstner, then CEO of IBM, who was engaged in his turnaround of the high-tech giant, was not sure about it. Steve Hayden, head creative on the account was a strong advocate. To resolve their debate, the two agreed to research. The lesson from research was that TABLE 1 negative emotion, properly used, can be a powerful driver of commercial performance. The commercial generated strong pre-test scores, and Lou agreed to run it. Tracking data validated the ad’s effectiveness...

...Advertising stragtegy of .. [pic] The brand ‘Fevicol’ – an introduction The Fevicol story began in 1959, when the Parekh Group floated Pidilite Industries to capitalize on the potential market for synthetic resin adhesives, or “white glue” in India. Pidilite Industries decided to enter into adhesive or white glue market in the country which is primarily consumed in woodworking. The primary application of white glue was in woodworking, with secondary applications in upholstery, flooring, and footwear. Company decided to enter in to retail market with the product and for that, they come up with collapsible tube. Company came up with different packaging in order to cater to different segment of customers. Pidilite Industries decided to leverage the Fevicol brand’s success and popularity by launching a version suitable for the retail market. The first product line extension, a 30-gram collapsible tube, was introduced in the early 1970’s. Subsequently the company rolled out a spate of uniquely packaged Fevicol products, available for school students as well as professional and educational institutions. The introduction of various packaging formats helped transition the brand from the image of an industrial product to an all-purpose glue. The USP of brand is ease of applying it. Consistent quality, widespread distribution networks, and excellent customer relationships have been the key success factors for the Fevicol brand and knowing its strong brand equity, the brand will...

...responsibility to not only look after one account, but work with several accounts like Unilever, Bkash, Edison Properties, Symphony, Aarong, Mi-amore, BATB etc, so that my learning is more widespread. In the course of this internship, I got to learn how advertising is not all about producing billboards and TVCs, but how it has integrated itself into a vast network and how it intends to get into a consumer’s lifestyle rather than bombard them with information. Which is why, the topic I have decided to work on is the Evolution of Advertising and how Ogilvy Bangladesh has adapted to the changes and how those changes reflect on their campaign effectiveness. I have also gotten the chance to experience what life is like in the corporate world and all in all, it was a fantastic learning experience. Thank you for being there as a support whenever I needed it. It was a challenge in completing this project and compiling this report and I hope I have fulfilled your hopes and expectations.

...Bait and Switch Dawn L. Barnes Dr. Augustine Weekley LEG500 Law, Ethics, and Corporate Governance November 27, 2011 1. Does the fact that Betty drove three hours in one-hundred-degree heat have any bearing on whether or not the dealer must perform in accordance with the published advertisement? “The First Amendment grants everyone the right to free speech, but sometimes questions arise about how this right should be interpreted, especially since the advent of the Internet”(www.degreedirectory.org). Advertising and marketing are tools used to entice and attract customers to your product. Creative and massive marketing will usually peak the interest of individuals to have an interest in your product or service. Advertising is a form of communication used to persuade an audience (viewers, readers or listeners) to take some action with respect to products, ideas, or services. Most commonly, the desired result is to drive consumer behavior with respect to a commercial offering, although political and ideological advertising is also common.(en.wikipedia.com) The car dealer should uphold the advertisement of the truck as listed in the paper. The newspaper ad was a ad targeted at individuals who may be interested in purchasing a affordable car. However, the advertisement does not promise the viewer that the truck advertised will be available upon arrival to the car dealer. According to the video, the paper had in small print that there is only one truck at...

...the product benefits of beer. However, targeting 19 to 24-yearolds does encourage early brand adoption. According to Robe Guenette, a former beer executive at Molson, “Brand choices in beer are made early in life. If you get a younger drinker early, they tend to stay with you. It’s really about the ‘heavy’ male drinker and that’s where the volume is.” Demographic trends are not on the side of the brewing industry. Older age groups do drink beer but much less of it than before. The 19 to 30-year-old group in the 1980s represented 20% of the market, today it represents 18%, and by 2007 it will slide to 15%. Labatt has tried to shift the age focus on some of its brands. Carlsberg and Bud Light are slanted slightly towards older males and females. Labatt has also invested in advertising for its premium and imported brands like Stella Artois, Sol, and Guinness—with programs that reinforce quality and serving techniques. Blue Versus Canadian The history of Canada’s two leading brands, Labatt Blue and Molson Canadian reveal a correlation between effective advertising and market share. For years both brands have been one-upping each other with good creative. The best creative seems to win and market share nudges upward for the brand with the best advertising. To illustrate, Labatt Blue enjoyed considerable success with a campaign called “Out of the Blue” that started in 1998. It enjoyed a five-year run (see Advertising History...

They were chosen, as they are probably the most important. These factors are: 1. Creativity. It is believed that it encourages people to pay more attention (Heath, Nairn and Bottomley, 2009). Also, it allows the advert to stands out from all the other adverts, as creativity is defined by Wright (2000) as ‘original’. 2. Brand Awareness. This is important because if there is awareness, the audience will pay more attention to the advert, making it more effective. 3. The choice of the media. If the media does not match with the target audience, the...

...meats, seafood, produce, dairy, wine, and pastries. This paper will outline the internal and external drivers of innovation for the organization and will describe how innovation, design, and creative thinking will benefit the organization by meeting the certain objectives (Kudler Fine Foods, 2011). Benefits and Drivers Proposal Many argue that innovation is the most important internal as well as external driver. In order to know how to use innovation as a benefit, it is important to understand what innovation means. When referring to innovation, many often associated it with social networking sites, such as Facebook or YouTube, or technology like the iPhone. The term innovation may also get confused with creativity but these are two different things. According to Barry Conchie “Creativity may spur innovation, but there is an element of action missing there” (The Four Drivers of Innovation, 2014). One of the internal drivers of innovation is to find and foster talents. Individuals such as entrepreneurs or those who are achievers in their field are people who help drive innovation. Not only employees but also managers play an important role as part of the drivers of innovation. It takes more than only acknowledging employees for good work or ideas and that is why managers matter. One of the most powerful drivers is the relationship managers build with their employees. A connection between leaders and associates can help make a difference. For example a bad relationship...
