Innovation will always be a factor to look at because of the fact the innovation is constantly growing and making products better (Sissors, 2012). Who could forget sitting there listening to a commercial and in the commercial the words new and innovated are involved. Innovation is basically taking a product and it growing to meet the standards of the consumer. The product is growing and changing. If one were to look at that product they would see that it may have a higher speed for browsing or in some other area be faster, the design may be sleeker than it previously was, or it may hold more capabilities. All the changes are coming more quickly and it can be difficult to keep up, especially with budgeting. A company only budgets so much money for advertising and if the products are rolling out more quickly yet the budget has not grown then there will be no way to advertise as much as needed. There will be times when innovation can help in advertising too. Innovating...

...Online advertising, the scourge of the computer world. Even though internet advertising is highly annoying; Pop ups, pay per clicks and spam mail has flooded the online world, -in a very disturbing way-. To illustrate the problem in question, let’s begin with the pop ups. Every other website uses this type of advertising in a desperate attempt to attract visitors. Pop ups has gained much popularity because of its capacity to attract the eyes. In the instance one of this pop ups “pops” in our screen, it catch our attention and immediately gets a reaction (to at least close the pop up window). In the beginning pop up advertising was kind of “cool”, -like any other novelty-, then soon became a dirty phrase. In terms of the content, pop ups are very unpredictable, they range from: “semiannual sale” to “hot singles are waiting for you”. It is no wonder why today there are many companies that specialize in preventing the unwanted pop ups. Not having enough of these, let’s talk about “pay per clicks” (another way of waste our time). This is a concept where advertisers come up with “keywords” they think will lead internet users to their websites. All it takes is type a specific word in a search engine, to leads us to linked websites that lacks in substance for the intended search. In the mean time somebody is getting paid every time we mistakenly “click” in one of this websites. At last, (but not least), is the “spam mail”; that simply is: advertising in a mail form. In the...

...explain the role of advertising agencies in the development of a successful promotional campaign M2 – explain the advantages and disadvantages of using promotional agencies in ensuring promotional success Advertising agencies is a service based organisation devoted to planning and designing adverts. They give an external opinion when it comes to selling their clients services or products. They work closely with many different companies to collect information in order to get an idea on what they company wants to sell. Getting an advertising agency to create an advert is expensive because they have extensive and creative knowledge on how to develop and handle an advert.

They would know how to make it look professional, what words would suit the advert best, how the layout should be like, what colours would make the ad stand out and overall what would make the ad unique in order to capture the selected audience. Furthermore, they determine the right mix of media to attain the marketing campaign objectives. When considering the targeted audience, making certain that the advert is advertised in the right place allows the right audience to be aware of it. They do this by booking slots on television, cinemas, space in magazines and newspapers and so on. They do this so that they can achieve the most cost-effective result...

...have the same choices Americans have, it is easy to see that over advertising of fast and processed foods causes Americans to be lazy in food preparation, which causes health problems, which is why large food corporations should limit their advertising. This chain of events is all too familiar in modern American culture, but not necessarily exclusive. Through research, it has been found that Americans are more susceptible to marketing and advertising of this type of food than most countries. Many ask, “Why?” While there is no precise answer everyone can agree on, we can point out 3 defining factors as to why Americans are more likely to purchase fast food rather than having a home-cooked meal. Compared to the rest of the world, Americans consume more fast food than even China which has almost as many fast-food restaurants as America does. The fad of fast-food can be explained as something that has gained momentum over the years of economic downfall, apathy towards health, and a collective divide on what we has humans should eat to stay healthy and live longer. Advertising is at an all-time high for not only fast-food corporations, but for processed-food companies such as Kraft or General Mills. The “evil genius” mentality behind their marketing is in that their target markets and demographics basically know no bounds and appeal to everyone who can reach their advertising. Although they do have a bias in advertising towards children ages 5 – 15 years old. Children who are watching...

...point where our mind naturally filters out what is unnecessary and irrelevant.This makes the advertiser’s role more challenging in effectively engaging the audience. GETTING INTIMATE WITH THE AUDIENCE They call it ‘Brand Wars’ and out there on the battlefield, advertisers are fighting but not against one another. The battle is for the appropriate positioning within the consumers’ minds. It is said that the easiest way of getting into a person’s mind is to be the first. Second place does not go very far in terms of being remembered in the brand wars. However, the reality is such that we now live in a world where we are presented with far greater choices for products and services, than ever before. Whilst, we have greater information at our disposal to digest, we at the same time are becoming very time-poor wanting almost on-demand information. Despite the doom and gloom of product or service overload out there, there’s still hope. The key is to get intimate with the audience. People may buy products or services but what they are really purchasing is a sense of feeling. Lets take the purchase of a car for an example. People buy a Toyota for reliability; a BMW to convey achievement; a Volvo because safety is the priority. Drill further down, people purchase a 2 door coupe because they want to feel sexy; a 4WD because they have a sense of adventure (in some cases!); a roadster for those who crave adrenaline; an MPV because going out as a family is important. Imagine you’ve...

...2 Article Reviews NUS rolls out “grade-free” system for its freshmen By Ong Hwee Hwee, The Straits Times, 23 January 2014 In this article, the author addresses the issue of having a grading system in the National University of Singapore (NUS) where alphabetical grades will not be given anymore; instead, the only “grades” given will be a distinction, pass, or fail. A similar approach has been taken by the Singapore University of Technology and Design, and in certain modules in Nanyang Technological University and the Singapore Management University. The author feels that the new grading system would be effective for the students to concentrate on learning and not on the final grade. The main gist of the article is that when an education system forces its students to be graded, the students would focus more on getting good grades than actually learning, meaning that it is possible for students to study hard just for tests and exams, but forget what they had learnt after they graduate. Thus, by introducing a system where students are not pressurized to do well, the freshmen are able to be more adventurous in their freshman year as there is no fear of failing the module. It also serves as a period of time for them to adapt to university life which may be a big leap forward from their previous educational experiences. In paragraphs 12 to 14, the author has also stated that the freshmen of the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine have been under this plan since 2010, and that they...
