One of the first known methods of advertising was an outdoor display, usually an eye catching sign painted on the wall of a building. Archaeologists have uncovered many such signs, notably in the ruins of ancient Rome and Pompeii. An outdoor advertisement excavated in Rome offers property for rent, and one found painted on a wall in Pompeii calls the attention of travellers to a tavern situated in another town. What is Advertising Advertising is a form of communication for marketing and used to encourage, persuade, or manipulate an audience (viewers, readers or listeners; sometimes a specific group) to continue or take some new action. Most commonly, the desired result is to drive consumer behavior with respect to a commercial offering, although political and ideological advertising is also common. The purpose of advertising may also be to reassure employees or shareholders that a company is viable or successful. Advertising messages are usually paid for by sponsors and viewed via various traditional media;...

...lets tackle about the history of Advertising here in the Philippines: Advertising started in the early times when messages were carved in stone plates and notices were printed on walls. It was the only form of advertising then. Outdoor advertising was an industry by itself for a long period of time until print (in newspaper and in magazines) and radio broadcasting were introduced. It was through the years up to the early 1960’s in the Philippines when outdoor advertising was still regarded as a primary medium of advertising, when billboard operators and owners organized themselves into one, cohesive and solid voice. Thus, on AUGUST 13, 1964, the OUTDOOR ADVERTISING ASSOCIATION OF THE PHILS. (OAAP) was formed. Its purpose was to promote growth of outdoor advertising in the Philippines by establishing its own Code of Ethics. In 1974, OAAP was placed under the jurisdiction of the Philippine Council for Print Media (“PCPM”) under the late General Hans Menzi as per Presidential Decree No. 576. This decree provides PCPM the authority to set rules and regulations for the discipline of all mass media under its supervision. In 1976, the Metro Manila Governor, Imelda Marcos, in line with her cleanliness and beautification drive, decided to demolish all billboards especially movie ads and neon signs along Roxas Boulevard and Luneta. In May 1974, OAAP became one of the charter members of the Philippine Board of Advertising now called the Advertising Board of the Philippines...

...Coke Versus Pepsi : Differences in Cultural History Rather than Taste Posted by Nicole Smith, Jan 16, 2012 Food And Drink No Comments Print For many years, Coca Cola and Pepsi have enjoyed the position as the two most enjoyed soft drinks in the USA, as they have maintained their popularity over the past several decades. One can divide soft drink fans into two major camps: Coke-lovers and Pepsi-lovers. Each of the camps substantiates its favoritism not only on flavor, but also on ideas, facts, and preferences that justify its choice and allow it to stay true to its selection. The following analysis of the history of Pepsi and Coca Cola explores Pepsi and Coke with an emphasis on advertising and cultural significance of these efforts, discovering what makes these soft drinks so popular and what differentiates them from each other. What emerges is that there is little in the way of differences between Coke and Pepsi outside of different cultural histories. There are many similarities between Coca Cola and Pepsi and the history of Coca Cola is nothing like the history of Pepsi outside of the fact that both companies were advertising soda. Both were intended to serve as recreational drinks associated with parties, fun, sex, and entertainment. The two drinks have just about the same color, the same amount of carbon dioxide, and have a similar taste. While in the past they both used different natural extracts from the coca nut, nowadays they both rely on artificial flavors and man-made...

...History of TV advertising From 1941 to 1990s Firsts The first TV ad in the history of television advertising was broadcast on NBC’s WNBT for the Bulova® Watch Company before a baseball game between the Brooklyn Dodgers and Philadelphia Phillies. The ad featured a Bulova® watch displayed over the map of the United States. The Bulova® Watch Company paid 9 dollars for a 10 second spot and went down forever as the first TV ad in the history of both the world and U.S. television advertising. By 1948, many additional advertisers were using television spots to reach the large audience that owned television sets. Television's spreading popularity merited the formation of the American Association of Advertising Agencies to regulate commercials. Television was so popular during that era that even the movie studios feared that television would dominate all other media! It's shocking to compare the first commercial's 9 dollar price tag to a modern day 30-second TV spot during the Super Bowl which costs several million dollars! The first TV commercial shown in Britain was for Gibbs S R Toothpaste, which lasted 60 seconds, and was broadcast on September 22, 1955. This commercial earned its place as a first in the history of TV advertising completely by chance. In a lottery drawn with 23 other commercials to determine who would go first, Gibbs S R Toothpaste was the one that came up the winner. The 1950s also brought about significant changes in television advertising. More advertising...

...A newspaper (often just called a paper when the context is clear) is a periodical publication containing news, other informative articles (listed below), and usually advertising. A newspaper is usually printed on relatively inexpensive, low-grade paper such as newsprint. The news organizations that publish newspapers are themselves often metonymically called newspapers. Most newspapers now publish online as well as in print. The online versions are called online newspapers or news sites. Newspapers are typically published daily or weekly. News magazines are also weekly, but they have a magazine format. General-interest newspapers typically publish news articles and feature articles on national and international news as well as local news. The news includes political events and personalities, business and finance, crime, severe weather, and natural disasters; health and medicine, science, and technology; sports; and entertainment, society, food and cooking, clothing and home fashion, and the arts. Typically the paper is divided into sections for each of those major groupings (labeled A, B, C, and so on, with pagination prefixes yielding page numbers A1-A20, B1-B20, C1-C20, and so on). Most traditional papers also feature an editorial page containing editorials written by an editor, op-eds written by guest writers, and columns that express the personal opinions of columnists, usually offering analysis and synthesis that attempts to translate the raw data of the news into information...

...Visual Merchandising: P.O.P. Displays Visual Merchandising is the method of displaying products in a store that will entice a consumer to buy. “POP display” is short for point of purchase display. A point of purchase display can catch the attention of prospective consumers. For as long as humans have been selling things to each other, there has been a need for point of purchase displays. Over the centuries, the vendor, the peddler, the hawker, all have needed to display their products to consumers. POP displays are all about point of purchase displays that are types of marketing and advertising techniques or ad campaigns that boost the marketability of the goods close to which they are placed. The reputation of an item is dependent upon its advertising and marketing strategies. The benefit that promotion provides to any product is its brand name value that becomes the identity of the product or service. By the twelfth century, shops in major European cities were well established. Traffic in bazaars and shops was important and early retailers just like today's retailers, needed to display the goods offered. Logically in an age before mass production, there were few consumer goods to promote. Nevertheless, food, clothing, footwear, furniture and cooking utensils were the essentials of life and for those who could afford them bought in shops. During the nineteenth century's industrial revolution, a wider variety of goods became readily available. Signs, posters and means of displaying...

The technologies and platforms that have been introduced to us such as Facebook and Twitter has changed the way in which a business communicates with their public. To fully grasp the concept of advertising presently, one must look at its origin. Advertising has come from a very long way and it has managed to advance and evolve into the major communication tool it is today. Advertising is a form of marketing used to, persuade, or manipulate an audience to purchase a product or service, this is normally paid for by the business entity. The most basic and still one of the most efficient forms of advertising which is word of mouth, this has been around ever since humans started providing each other’s with goods and services. As early as the Egyptians, there was evidence of the use of advertising. They used papyrus to record sales and important details, also for political, religious and commercial news to be announced in the city they would write it in bold and place it all over so that everyone would be informed. There were signs of this practice in the ruins of ancient Arabia and Pompeii.

...Pharmaceutical Advertising Pharmaceutical advertising, which dates back to the 18th and 19th century, conveys a message to consumers in which medication can relieve just about any ailment. Today, these ads are everywhere. They exist on billboards, television, radio, the newspaper, magazines, and the Internet. Direct-to-consumer marketing (DTC) almost challenges the individual to question whether or not he or she has a medical issue. This is synonymous with selling an illness and not a remedy. Pharmaceutical advertising and marketing among health care providers remains questionable in terms of ethical practices. Pharmaceutical representatives promote their medications through a commonly known marketing strategy, which involves the use of gifts to entice or persuade the health care provider. These gifts involve pens, pads, lunch, dinner, and luxurious trips. Effective advertising and marketing should promote a product that gains the interest of an individual without question. Advertising, mainly in the form of pharmaceuticals should not be misleading and should not insinuate that common occurrences produce a medical problem. The History of DTC Marketing Originating in the 18th and 19th century, DTC marketing deluded consumers through misleading and falsified advertising. Moving on into the 20th century, “pharmaceutical ads accounted for nearly half of newspapers’ advertising revenue” (Huh, DeLorme, Reid, & Soontae, 2010, para. 3). The Pure Food and Drug Act became a law in...
