Abstract
The paper describes a 2007 Super Bowl advertisement by Budweiser and discusses the product, price, place and promotion. The paper looks at the targeted audience, how the product is positioned and what significant connotations appear to be at play. The paper shows how the humor of the advertisement guarantees it to have success among young drinkers.
From the Paper
"Super Bowl ads have become extraordinarily lucrative marketing tools in recent years. One particular 2007 Ad by Budweiser features a beer cooler which has been left alone momentarily on a tropical beach. Its presence has been well-noted, however, and it is not long before a legion of crabs arrives to pay it homage. When the group absconds with the cooler, somehow evading the notice of those gathered on the beach, and taking it to a fairly remote location nearby, it becomes clear the commercial is building to a humorous climax. Sure enough, when two beers protruding from the top of the cooler move slightly shortly after the large item has been set down, the crabs respond by treating them as if the beers are twin deities, prostrating themselves in a manner that is funny even for a cynical commercial watcher. At the end of the brief advertisement, the Budweiser logo appears with its familiar caption, "Budweiser: King of Beers" and the obvious linkage between the beers being worshipped by the crabs and Budweiser Beer being worthy of the worship of American beer drinkers is made unapologetically - if rather clumsily (Budweiser, 2007)."

Cigarette Advertising, 2008.
This paper explores the issue of cigarette advertising from a normative ethical perspective.

Abstract
The paper explores the complex ethical questions involved in the debate over limiting the power of cigarette manufacturers to advertise. The paper explains that while limiting advertising can be justified from a utilitarian perspective, from a Kantian perspective of rights, such a limitation presents grave implications for the future of our society. The paper argues that a normative approach to this issue would be to recognize the importance of "rule utilitarianism" as opposed to pure utilitarianism as the key determinant of government action.
From the Paper
"The current situation would suggest that there is a clear and present for governments to take action given the need to protect the public interest, together with the need to counteract the resources available to the tobacco industry to sell their product. Indeed, the history of cigarette advertising is such that it would seem this argument is almost unquestionable. For example, this industry has a long history of using advertising to appeal to young people and the public at large by covertly covering up the effects of tobacco. Following following the end of World War II, the RJ Reynolds Tobacco Co. boasted that "More Doctors Smoke Camels Than Any Other Cigarette" (Waxman). This advertising claim carried the clear implication that the medical community as a whole endorses "Camels" cigarettes. While no tobacco company would dare to make such a statement today, that does not stop the industry from trying to make smoking appear cool to teenagers."

Material Things, Meaning and Consumers, 2008.
The paper explores the debate between Sut Jhally and James Twitchell entitled "On Advertising" that looks at their views on consumerism, advertising and the relationship between people and material things.
1,252 words (approx. 5.0 pages), 3 sources, MLA, $ 42.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper explores the perspectives of Sut Jhally and James Twitchell on the relationship between material things and people as manifested by advertising communications. The paper explains both positions but argues in support of Twitchell's view as the more realistic of the two, given its grounding in the reality of human conduct rather than in the idealistic projection of what human actions should or might be.
From the Paper
"In order to explore the perspectives of Jhally and Twitchell it is first necessary to understand the basic ideas and concepts that inform their arguments. Scholars conducting research in fields adjacent to communication studies, such as Jhally and Twitchell, tend not to see material objects as simply artifacts of human construction that take up space and may have ranges of value attached to them by human individuals and collectives. Rather, these material things are visual vehicles of meaning."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper explores the image society has of women through an examination of a child's toy (the Kim Possible Doll), advertising images for Skechers and the television show "The Closer." The paper discusses how the external image of youth, beauty and especially being thin is projected as a virtual necessity. The paper looks at the harmful effects this has on the self-image of girls and young women trying to emulate what they believe is the ideal.
Outline:
Introduction
Kim Possible Doll
Skechers Models
The Closer
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The prevailing doll image offered to young girls for many years has been the Barbie Doll, the image of an extremely thin young woman, with an emphasis on thin-ness, beauty, perfect hair, and perfect makeup. This is only one source of this sort of image, and many of the images from popular culture reinforce this idea.
"Meta G. Carstarphen and Susan C. Zavoina write specifically about the experience of adolescent girls and note how these girls are influenced by images of girls their age in magazines like Seventeen and Teen, among other sources, and the authors note first that advertising is directed at young people because they represent an important target market, if one that is particularly vulnerable: "A time of awkwardness and opportunity, adolescence represents a critical time of identity formation for both boys and girls" (Carstarphen and Zavoina 94)."

An analysis of the ideologies of children and the roles they play in society.

Abstract
This paper discusses the specific roles that children play in society. It looks at it through the social constructions people have of children and discusses the way that children affect culture whether it is by advertisements or through the ideologies that children have. The paper also looks at the reasons why children are important in a society.
From the Paper
"More parents must take their ideology even when it is difficult to tell their children no. Children should not be empowered to do whatever they want or to receive all the things they want. Parents must be the dominant ones. The media may use a form of hegemony to get the attention of children, but it is the parents place to refuse their children at times. Parents must be able to take the gazes that their children have and let them know who does have the power. Otherwise, more children will become unproductive adults who have little knowledge of responsibility or how rough life can be. In your family, who has the ideology?"

Abstract
This paper examines the link between eating disorders and the pressure created by the media to be thin. The purpose of this paper is to see if the media significantly influences the way in which we perceive ourselves.

The writer explains how an in-depth literature review can be used to devise a plan to study eating disorders and how the media influences the disease.
Outlook:
Introduction
Rationale
Literature Review
Hypothesis
Methodology
Measures
From the Paper
"With such a large occurrence of eating disorders and the potential fatal outcome, society must attempt to understand the nature and causes of the disorder. In order to combat eating disorders and help individuals suffering we must not only gain education but also raise awareness about how the media affects young women with eating disorders. If the relationship between the media and eating disorders can be identified and defined we may be able to one-day resolve and effectively prevent the disease. With a clear definition and the use of statistics it is possible that the effects of the media can be reduced in the 'at risk' population."

House-Keeping and the Modern Advertisement, 2008.
A look at how advertising still targets woman in a supposedly gender equal world.
1,798 words (approx. 7.2 pages), 8 sources, MLA, $ 57.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses how advertisements, sometimes insultingly, portray women as empowered in terms of taking on so much of the general cleaning labor, but the positioning of woman as the house-keeper remains unchanged. To explore this issue, it looks at a range of advertising for cleaning products, arguing that women continue to be portrayed in a limited manner and in fact are likely to be spending more time on cleaning as a result of social expectations for private spaces to be showcases.
From the Paper
"For the most part, given most of these advertisements, it would seem that it is almost entirely up to women to deal with all of the grime in the kitchen, bathroom, laundry room, and anywhere else it may lurk. Whether it is an advertisement for Swiffer products, Tide laundry detergent, or the curious bathtub scouring substance known as Vim, women are consistently portrayed as the lone crusaders, responsible for such matters of the home, and that reinforces stereotypes that keep women as the lead in such roles. For despite making more progress in closing the gender-gap at work, studies show that women still have more to gain in terms of getting their husbands to pick up the slack at home."

Abstract
This paper examines how the media is highly influential on society. The writer discusses how politicians depend heavily on the mass media as a way of reaching the public and explains the role of the mass media in foreign policy. Additionaly, the writer shows how media affects the development of new technology. The writer concludes that the media influences behavior through imitation and influences technology by helping determine what sorts of technology are wanted, what services are provided, and what products consumers seek.
From the Paper
"The media is very influential in society today and has been for decades. The nature of the media has changed over that time, from the beginnings of the mass media with national magazines and large city newspapers, continuing through the development of the motion picture, radio, and television, and today with new media such as the Internet. Changes in technology clearly affect the nature of the media, making new means of communication possible. The existing media affects technology as well, causing certain types of technology to be developed rather than others, with both the media and the technology carrying the media affecting society in a number of ways."

Abstract
This paper looks at two articles dealing with the growing economic, political and marketing power of the lesbian/gay community: "Advertising and the Political Economy of Lesbian/Gay Identity" and "Commodity Lesbianism". The writer explains that the gay and lesbian communities are finding themselves more recognized in society because marketers and advertisers have seen the importance of the demographic for marketing campaigns. The writer suggests that this new-found attention from the marketing community has produced some interesting social and political effects. In conclusion the article suggests that capitalism is creating a new identity for the the lesbian/gay community and that this identity is built on the recognition of the lesbian community as a viable and important market that can be exploited.
From the Paper
"In "Advertising and the Political Economy of Lesbian/Gay Identity" Fred Fejes examines the complicated relationship that gays and lesbians have developed between political agency and economic power. In fact, the interesting point that Fejes makes is that it may be that gays and lesbians are gaining political equality and clout not through traditional economic means. Other minority and disenfranchised groups have, in the past, developed political equality because they have controlled some aspect of economic production and/or capital. This is not the case with the gay and lesbian communities, Fejes argues. Instead, this group is gaining political ground because mainstream society is beginning to recognize the important market position of these individuals as consumers."

Advertising and Society, 2007.
This paper discusses how advertising became an ubiquitous part of modern society and the roles it fulfills.
2,090 words (approx. 8.4 pages), 10 sources, MLA, $ 65.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper stresses that the phenomena of modern society, such as globalization, multinational corporations, the World Trade Organization and even the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), could not have come about without advertising stimulating the active and willing cooperation of consumers to create modern consumerism. The author points out that advertising conveys the message that consumers can bury their insecurities and anxieties in their latest purchase. The paper argues that advertising does not aim primarily to persuade the consumer to buy the necessities of life but rather to create new and greater needs. The paper includes some long quotations.
From the Paper
"Advertising is a relatively new phenomenon - simply because before there could be advertising, there had to be products to sell, and consumers to buy them. However, until around 1650, most English people were focused on the prosaic task of avoiding starvation. Around that time, agricultural productivity reached levels that made starvation unlikely, even when grain prices went up. ... Later, in the 18th century, populations throughout Europe grew at record pace - and the quantities of goods available to buy grew even faster. At the same time, the bourgeoisie was growing in strength and numbers, urbanization was proceeding rapidly, and secularization was proceeding slowly."

Free Speech and Truth in Advertising, 2007.
A discussion of whether limitations should be placed on advertising and the forms these regulations should take.

»

Abstract
This paper discusses the struggle between free market commerce and free speech. It considers the question of what, if any, limitations ought to be placed upon commercial speech. It analyzes the arguments concerning the venues and content of advertising and then the paper attempts to draw conclusions about the need for regulation and the form it should take.
From the Paper
"Historically there have been a number of issues which have required addressing in order to analyze the appropriate place for advertising in a society. The first is where and how in the public space advertising should be allowed. The second is what types of content should be allowed. The issue of venue involves considerations of whether there are some places and times which should be immune from the intrusion of marketing speech, but also considerations of whether certain audiences - such as children - ought to be protected from advertising. The question of content involve concerns of whether business should be allowed to say anything it wants to say - and buyer beware! - or whether there should be some enforcement of truth-in-advertising policies that require businesses to be responsible and accurate in the information they relay about their products."

Marketers and Consumers, 2007.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper shows how Peter DeLegge, in his article "The Marketing Relevance Imperative," identifies the challenges marketers must overcome in order to reach consumers who do not want to see advertisements. The paper describes how DeLegge recommends alternative approaches to those of many advertisers. The paper is of the opinion that this is an excellent article. A copy of the DeLegge's article is appended to the paper.
From the Paper
"DeLegge's article is excellent, for it relates directly to course concepts such as marketing strategy, marketing environment, marketing research, consumer behavior, consumer and business behavior, market segmentation, targeting, and positioning. Every one of these concepts is discussed as DeLegge analyzes the difficulties marketers are experiencing trying to formulate advertising campaigns they hope can somehow address the strategic problem of consumer hostility to ads."
"Analyzing the marketing concepts demonstrated in the article indicates that one of the weaknesses of current marketing strategies is that many advertisers are relying on syndicated research services to quantify and qualify the audiences of the programs on which they advertise. This is not effective in today's marketing environment, for DeLegge notes that traditional methods of media planning and buying do not address the effectiveness of a commercial in terms of reaching this targeted audience."

Bill Merrilees' Article: 'Radical Brand Evolution', 2007.

Abstract
This paper explains that Bill Merrilees' writes in his article 'Radical Brand Evolution: A Case-Based Framework' in the 2005 "Journal of Advertising Research" that brand evolution entails the gradual transformation of the identifying symbol of a corporation via external and internal stimulus. The author points out that the writer concludes that brand revitalization can only occur if the development and protection of the brand is made a part of the coordinating elements of a marketing strategy geared towards appealing to target consumers. The paper relates that Merrilees devotes the bulk of his article to the application of brand orientation to the Canadian retailer Canadian Tire, who was compelled to revitalize its corporate brand in the face of new business pressures from the low prices of Wal-Mart and the excellent customer service of Home Depot.
From the Paper
"Merrilees then favorably invokes the six-step model of brand evolution designed by McEnally and de Chernatony whereby organizations evolve from offering unbranded goods to offering, in order, "brands as reference," "brands as personality," brands as icon(s)," "brands as company," to - finally - "brands as policy". Periodically, of course, brands must be "revitalized" if they are to maintain the interest of key consumers and/or if they are to capture new consumers in periods of intense sectoral competition."

From the Paper
"Semiotics is the study of signs and their meaning, meaning symbols, insignia, repeated images, and the like and how they are used to convey meaning. Advertising is the art of selling products by communicating with an audience, meaning a target consumer group, and various signs and symbols are used in advertising to convey the message. These signs have meaning because of the way they are repeated in advertising. Often, these signs have other meaning as well and the advertiser wants to make use of this other meaning for his own benefit."
