Good afternoon everyone! I want to start off this presentation by asking a simple question. Has anybody ever experienced being in the middle of a TV show or a movie on your screen, and all of sudden there is a break in the program due to advertising? I am guessing many of you have experienced this. For most people, this can be a very annoying reality that is faced every single day. All of us are surrounded by advertising and there is no escaping it. But because we interact and observe advertising on a daily basis, it is important to know the history behind it. Over the past few hundred years, the use of advertising has changed drastically. Advertising can be presented through many mediums. But today, I will focus on the mediums of billboard, …show more content…
Unlike the 1790 's where billboards had to be printed, in the modern-day world, the majority of billboards in use right now run digitally. Digital billboards today create less hassle for companies. That is, companies don 't have to send their workers out with a ladder to change the wording on a sign anymore. An article from ScienceDirect, explains that "Billboards and posters can be seen on everything including stadiums, blimps, parking meters, shopping carts, and gas nozzles". As I stated earlier, advertisements are always around us as we go about our daily …show more content…
Commercials do not have as long as a history as billboards. In fact, commercials have only been around for a little over half a century. Quality Logo Products discusses that "the very first television ad appeared on July 1, 1941 during a baseball game on a local channel in New York. It was a ten-second commercial advertising Bulova watches and cost a mere four dollars, but it completely revolutionized both television and advertising". Just as I stated before, commercials have only been around for only 77 years. Commercial advertising became more popular just like billboards did when they were introduced. But a huge event halted the production of commercial advertising. Quality Logo Products again explains that "once the United States entered World War II, however, television broadcasting ceased as the nation focused its resources on the war effort. But it resumed once the war was finished and, by 1948, many additional advertisers were using television spots to reach an expanding audience". As a few decades progressed, commercial advertising expanded to millions of people. Before the 1970 's, many commercials on television were promoting cigarettes. But at the beginning of the decade in the 70 's, many commercials that promoted cigarettes were banned. When the 1980 's came around, children were protected from cigarette ads. Many children in the 1980 's
With the exciting music, good looks/amiability of the cast, and the vivid footage, commercials appeal to the viewer, often times more than the actual shows (Postman 87). Commercial times average about 15-20 seconds and the times rarely go above 30-60 seconds (Postman 130). Quick images and short messages stimulate the mind and people begin to accept what they are seeing as the right (and best) choice (Postman 131). Commercials are about appealing to the audience, not advertising the product (Postman 128). Showing images of cute kittens, motivated runners, and yummy food excite the viewer, causing them to believe ideas (mythical or realistic) and force people to buy without thinking.
First, because they may feel attacked and invaded by the ad. Second, because most of the time the smokers already know how harmful cigarettes can be but they do not care and they are already tired of see those anti-smoking
However, advertising has only been a major component of the American business scene for the past hundred years. It was during this time in the 1920s that the ad industry saw a major boom that launched it into prominence on the American stage as a crucial part of
Advertisements are displayed differently around the world, no equality in brands, and brainwashing humans. There are distinct types of commercial depending where you live. It depends on the culture and their needs. For instance, Taco Bell 's advertisements in the United States compare to the
Unit 30 – Advertisement Production for Television I will research the various structures and techniques used in TV advertisement production. The aim is to try and understand the impacts of each structure and technique on the audience. I will also be aiming to understand how the structures and techniques used in the advert represent the brand and company. Many brands use celebrities as the “face of the brand.”
People today spend up to 319.2 minutes on television everyday! The television has dramatically changed since its invention in the 1920's, the first commercials were aired in 1940, and the television has played a pivotal role in human society. In the earlier years, the television was characterized by their tiny screens, black and white images, and turn-dial knobs. Television was simply the next logical step beyond the radio.
Its aim is to delivering some value to the customers so they purchase or sell goods and/or services. Advertising, however is one of many tools used in marketing to reach and inform consumers. Of the four P’s in the marketing mix, advertising falls under ‘promotion’. Some other marketing tools are public relations, sales promotions, directing marketing and personal selling. There are various types of advertisements, among them political, public service, retail and directory.
Over the past twenty years, the amount at which advertisers are advertising to children is astonishing. Advertising directed towards children has estimated at over 15 million annually that’s almost three times more than what it was 26 years ago! Toy companies, fast food places, and retail stores are very eager to target children-maybe even a little too eager. Advertisers are consciously targeting children. Most advertisers are targeting children because they're easier to get hooked on a product.
Advertising is a form of propaganda that plays a huge role in society and is readily apparent to anyone who watches television, listens to the radio, reads newspapers, uses the internet, or looks at a billboard on the streets and buses. The effects of advertising begin the moment a child asks for a new toy seen on TV or a middle aged man decides he needs that new car. It is negatively impacting our society. To begin, the companies which make advertisements know who to aim their ads at and how to emotionally connect their product with a viewer. For example, “Studies conducted for Seventeen magazine have shown that 29 percent of adult women still buy the brand of coffee they preferred as a teenager, and 41 percent buy the same brand of mascara”
During the 1980s, the focus on consumers skyrocketed. This was mostly due to the fact that amount of consumption was increasing. American people were buying homes and products. This was mainly related to the state of the economy in the 80s relying upon consumers to purchase to keep the economy booming. Since the amount consumers purchased was so important, considering Reagan cut taxes in order to increase spending, advertising was more prominent than ever before.

We all use it. Whether it is a text to your significant other, a hard work day on the job, a quick drive to the store, even something as simple as going to church, no matter where we are we always seem to be using technology. Technology is a growing issue with each passing day and even though there are positive effects it also has its negative side. It affects the things we do such as communication and playing, but most importantly affects our brain with our daily thought process. Today, Im going to inform you on how technology has affected you and your daily lifestyle habits.
However, choosing the appropriate technology is essential to the success of the advertising industry because different markets prefer different ways of conveying information. The use of applications in phones or e-commerce to order goods and services all over the world may be appropriate to a certain market, but media may be appropriate to an illiterate market (Porter, 1998). The development of smart phones is also an added advantage to the development of marketing activities in the advertising industries. For instance, in Singapore China the Taxi industry uses the application in the smart phones to access the consumers. Although the media are one of the appropriate medium to convey the adverts to the consumers,
