Listerine


Answers
1) The product promotes that you need Listerine in order to make friends and be successful and having bad breath will limit your chances of being happy and having a husband.
2) the facts that the product provides are that 1/3 of people have bad breath and makes you think that you could be one of them as it is said that halitosis is unpredictable and unnoticeable toward you but is noticeable towards other people.
3) We know the target audience is women because there is mostly women on the front covers of these articles and they are sulking showing they are unhappy and not successful.
4)It is attempting to appeal to women because it uses descriptive language such as pathetic and alone to make women feel low about them selves that they need a certain product to help them feel even better about them selves 
5) The persuasive language Technics it uses are  descriptive language, to make the reader feel as if they need the product of they will lose friends if they don't.

6) It suggest that society views at the time were all about appearances and that if someone didn't have one  thing they weren't good enough and would use fear to sell there products  

7) I do think that the people in the ad were represented typically in the 1920s, as women being perfect, and attracting the men and doing the chasing.

As towards the women having mostly seen as men roles in the video anything the women does is just seen as not enough.

History of advertising advertising

Early advertising

In 1666 in London was a advertise boost, people used newspapers to advertise the lost and found, line adds were predominantly informative.in the second half of the seventeen century, newspapers were very popular. The first french was called la gazette the newspaper was created by Renaudot in 1631. The persona ad was born.

Advertising and the industrial revolution

An advance in technology  means that there is no longer the need to sell products like soap, clothing to local neighboring countries.instead to selling to local customers the manufactures sought markets a long way from their factories. manufactures need to to brand their products in order to recognize them as far off markets were competing with each other.

Bubbles------the pears soap advertising innovation

Advertising success story:
Thomas Barrett was married into a famous soap making family and became fully aware that they need to become more aggressive towards selling their products in order to survive. He bought a copyright to a painting originally entitled 'bubbles', he then added a bar of soap to the bottom left of the image and displayed  the company's name across the top, and starting the series of ads featuring cherubic children which firmly held the brand to the values it owns today.

The first advertising agencies

The agencies were a response to an progressively crowded marketplace , manufactures were aware the promotion of their products was vital as it was a form of  survival. Copywriters became prominent, for a fee. A lot of these men were aspiring   novelists, or journalists, who found out that they would be more profitable if they turned there wordcraft to the service of sales.

Advertising and the first world war

poster advertisements were more common in Europe than the US before 1914. War broke out, various governments involved turned posters into propaganda. The 'Enlist' posters dreamed up by advertising agencies on both sides of Atlantic ensured a plentiful supply of recruits. World war 1 was the increase mechanization of industry, which men't an increase in cost, therefore the desire to create need, which began to influence advertising from the 1920's onward.

Advertising through the great depression 

consumers treated themselves to expensive new goods such as cars, washing machines, radiograms, which all require ads. Advertising rapidly took advantage of the new mass media , using cinema, radio and much more. the first radio ad appeared in 1922. Stock markets crashed in 1929. Media landscape changed forever. Advertising hurtled by around 60% , and didn't return till the 1920's levels until the early 1950's. Advertising got toughened, "hard sale" became an everyday place, with sex, violence, and threats. instead of reassuring consumers, ads bullied and hustled, playing o fears in order to attach their target audience's sparse disposable income to their brands.

Advertising & TV


The UK and Europe, with government controlled broadcasting. Sylvester weaver though of an idea of selling not whole shows to advertisers, but separate them into small blocks of broadcasting times. This became known for the magazine concept or participation advertising. It allowed a whole different variety of advertisers  to access the audience of a single TV show. Today known as 'commercial break' (it was all he's fault he came up with the idea and now we have to watch annoying commercial breaks :/ )

Madison avenue- how the mad men came to be 
In the 1950's , advertising was known for as a profession. It attracted both women and men , who wanted the excitement of using their creativity to make some significant amount of cash. Hard working, hard drinking , unconventional and often amoral, the flannel-suited ad man became an identifiable archetype , the epitome of a new kind of cool.



How has advertising changed with the progression of technology ?
Technology has made an significant amount of progress over the years towards advertising, many advertisement are now easier to make and edit, back in the days advertising and making advertisements were quite a struggle as there wasn't much people interested as they are today and they just didn't have better technology, adverts are mover funnier and eye catching, the producers have better ways of getting people to buy their products such as having something annoying as the go compare advert, where it is annoying and is stuck in your head, they have also spoken to the public and know what they want.

Advertising


The reason for why i have picked this advert is because it's one of my favorites of Cadbury advertisements, it has no words what so ever but catches the audiences eye. Normally adverts are annoying and always find you some how on the internet, but this advertisement is very funny, it is very memorable, the music easily noticeable, it is very outrageous, as you see a gorilla playing the drums that you wouldn't normally see.



Another advertisement that i think really gets to me is the seat belt print advert, its very memorable as it makes you think, its also very persuasive making you value your life and wear a seat belt to live another day. making sure you buckle up and stay alive.
